You know, I rarely, if ever watched that show. It first came on when we had been married a couple of years, had a new baby, I was working full time and going to school full time using my GI Bill benefits to get my MBA. I didn't have much free time to watch TV. But I still liked Tom.

Me too. I used to like him in the Father Dowling Mysteries.

Wow,,bummer. May he rest in peace.

I wonder if he got to see any of the new 5-0 shows before he passed .

NJRRK · 10-29-2010, 07:21 AM

RIP Captain Kangaroo. Not sure if he was just in the midwest or not.

Gatordad · 10-31-2010, 04:14 PM

Captain Kangaroo died 6 years ago.

Born 2 Fish · 10-31-2010, 04:22 PM

Curtis,,like myself, tend to mourn our heroes for a long time.

James Wall, who played Mr. Baxter on the Capt Kangaroo show in the 60's died last week. May be that's who Curt was thinking of.

I only heard the Captain Kangaroo. I guess it just goes to show we're a little slow in Iowa...lol.

Sparky Anderson, the all-time leader among Detroit Tigers managers in victories, visibility and inimitable quotations, died today at his home in Thousand Oaks, Calif. He was 76.

Anderson, born in South Dakota during the Great Depression, said “thank you” to people for whom he signed autographs. He often quoted his father’s words to him: “Being nice to people is the only thing in life that will never cost you a dime. Treat them nice and they’ll treat you the same.”

A sign hung in Anderson’s mostly unadorned office at Tiger Stadium: “Every 24 hours the world turns over on someone who was sitting on top of it.”

Thanks for the memories.
