“Captain Kangaroo:” Why Everyone Was Enchanted By This Show

The Legend Lives On

Although “Captain Kangaroo” no longer airs and its beloved characters have left us, the Captain’s legacy lives on at the Smithsonian Institution. Mr. Moose can be visited and is on display with the one of Captain’s original navy blue jackets with the iconic giant pockets, from which the name “Captain Kangaroo” is inspired.
