Good Morning, Captain: 50 Wonderful Years with Bob Keeshan, TV's Captain Kangaroo | Robert Keeshan, Cathryn Long

pick

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!

Here's Johnny!: My Memories of Johnny Carson, The Tonight Show, and 46 Years of Friendship | Ed McMahon

pick

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!!! 3mo

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! 3mo

Deblovestoread @Lesliereadsalot OMG I LOVE King Tut to this day. What a great memory 💙 3mo

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! 3mo

MemoirsForMe @TheAromaofBooks 😘😘😘 Hope you‘re having a blast in your new place! 3mo

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 3mo

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) 3mo

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.“ 😂 3mo

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. 3mo

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice: A Book-to-Table Classic | Jane Austen

Today's theatre experience: Austen's Pride 💖🎶📖
This was such a lovely musical with the best parts of Pride and Prejudice, framed by the narrative of Austen's writing and editing of the story. Funny and sweet and highly enjoyable

staci.reads Sounds fun! 4mo
