What fun to revisit another childhood TV hero: Bob Keeshan aka Captain Kangaroo! This pictorial celebrates 50 years of this groundbreaking show (1955-84) The Captain taught us kids about kindness, diversity & respect. He hosted “Reading Stories” so we could fall in love with books. He & sidekick Mr. Green Jeans even taught us to appreciate nature, animals and our environment. That‘s before being replaced by cartoons/marketing tools to sell toys.🙄

MemoirsForMe In later life, Bob became an ardent advocate for anything that affects the well-being of children. We sure could use you nowadays, Captain!

MemoirsForMe @TheBookHippie @rubyslippersreads @dabbe He‘s one of the reasons why we are such kind and compassionate readers and human beings. I adored him too. 🫶🏻 6d
TheBookHippie @MemoirsForMe Such truth. Sorely needed today. 6d
MemoirsForMe @TheBookHippie The Captain would be very proud of your advocacy for the kiddos. ✊🏻 6d

Enjoyable, if not especially deep, look at the show‘s first season.

I love Late-Night TV! Johnny, his hilarious skits & rapport with his guests first got me hooked. This book is a fitting tribute to Johnny by his sidekick & longtime friend Ed. For decades, Johnny & all those who followed in his footsteps helped me escape life‘s troubles & kept me laughing. Hard to believe this freedom of expression is now being challenged & assaulted. Let‘s continue to unite together & stand strong for our freedom of speech.🗣️✊🏻

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 2mo
Lesliereadsalot I saw Johnny Carson‘s show live in New York a million years ago. The guests were a new star, Steve Martin, who did his Egyptian routine, and Yvette Mimieux. My mom and I thought Steve Martin would never go anywhere! 2mo
Deblovestoread @Lesliereadsalot OMG I LOVE King Tut to this day. What a great memory 💙 2mo
MemoirsForMe @Lesliereadsalot Wow! That is so cool, especially remembering what guests you saw. Too funny about Steve Martin! 😂 I saw Johnny‘s show with my Mom after the show moved to Burbank. Can‘t remember the guests but Johnny instantly won my heart. He was a hoot! 2mo
MemoirsForMe @TheAromaofBooks 😘😘😘 Hope you‘re having a blast in your new place! 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Thank you!!! The new house is lovely, but Tom's dad passed away very suddenly last week so the last ten days have been super rough. I really meant to send you a birthday card but it didn't happen!!! I hope you had a fabulous day though!! And sorry, this comment was an emotional rollercoaster 😂 Really a reflection on my current inner state lol 2mo
MemoirsForMe Oh Sarah…I‘m so sorry about Tom‘s dad. I‘ll keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. Hang in there, my friend. ❤️🙏🏻❤️ @TheAromaofBooks (edited) 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Thank you!! It's been tough but we are getting through (as one has to do). We lived across the street from him the whole time we lived in Rushville (11 years) so we were pretty close. We've been hearing so many great stories about him. Most of them are pretty much like “I was having a problem. He showed up, swore at me, smacked me in the back of the head, and then fixed my problem.“ 😂 2mo
MemoirsForMe @TheAromaofBooks Aww! Your FIL sounded like quite a character with a big heart. 😊I hope these memories and funny stories will help heal your hearts. 2mo

My very favorite episode of Lucy, L.A. At Last!

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe yes!!! He and Cary Grant are my 2 faves from Old Hollywood. I fell in love with Mr. Holden watching this episode long before I started watching classic movies. He was a great actor. 3mo
JenlovesJT47 @lil1inblue me too! They‘re the best ♥️♥️♥️ 3mo
lil1inblue @JenlovesJT47 I was just looking for something to watch, too. I think I'll hit Lucy up. 🥰 3mo
dabbe @JenlovesJT47 And so damn sexy... just like Cary. I loved him in SABRINA, and I loved that he was with Stefanie Powers at the end of his life (adore her in HART TO HART). 3mo
JenlovesJT47 @dabbe I LOVE Sabrina. They were in love with each other during the filming and he was going to leave his wife for her but he had had a vasectomy and Audrey wanted children. There‘s a really good book about it 3mo
JenlovesJT47 @lil1inblue can‘t go wrong with Lucy! There‘s an I Love Lucy channel on Pluto which is free, plays 24/7 so I have it on quite frequently. ♥️♥️♥️ 3mo
AnnCrystal 🤩 Lucy in LA 👏🏼🐝👌🏼😂📺🐝💝. 3mo
dabbe @JenlovesJT47 😱 I had no idea! Now I love them both even more! #stacked 3mo
