Bob Keeshan, AKA Captain Kangaroo, died today. He was 76. Mr. Keeshan's "Captain Kangaroo" debuted on CBS television in 1955 and ran for 30 years before moving to public television for six more.

He entertained me, and I suspect many American Pixies, for many years. The format was simple: Each day, Captain Kangaroo, with his sugar-bowl haircut and coat with huge pockets , would wander through his Treasure House, chatting with his good friend Mr. Green Jeans.
