I've never seen Captain Kangaroo but always wonder about it since that song they used on Pulp Fiction - "smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo..."
Ahhh, that just made me feel all warm and fuzzy and nostalgic--I grew up with the Captain and I'll bet I could "name that tune in one note"! Also, I guess we all now know where Laugh-In got their set from, huh.
Now who was that who did that song in Pulp Fiction? "Counting Flowers on the Wall" by the Statler Brothers, I think.
The Captain was on foreeeever... I get all warm and fuzzy too because I remember Capt. Kangaroo and Mr. Moose and Bunny Rabbit and Dancing Bear... and Mr. Green Jeans... and Grandfather Clock ;P
You've found the ramblings of a Retro lifestyler living in a Post-millenial world. Now moved back to his childhood home and restoring it to the optimistic era it was born in.
Can an overworked single father and an irrepressable 9-year old live by old fashioned values vrs. today's, survive the struggles of renovation, and together make a home in a humble '58 ranch?
