If any of you folks were like me and grew up watching Captain Kangeroo you'll be sorry to here that Bob Keeshan has died at 76. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4038505/ Even though his show hasn't been on in years I'll miss him.

Hate to hear that. I remember watching his show back in the 80's.

He's one of the last of a sadly bygone era...I remember him from the early 60s if my memory serves me right.

It seemed to me a better thing to watch Captain Kangeroo than the rubbish kids watch these days- but I'm an old fart.

He'll be missed- by us old farts. Todays kids won't even know him...
