My Mother had a radio station play this song for me on my 16th
birthday. Always makes me smile.

That was Mr Moose on Captain Kangaroo. *Usually at the desk (counter)
during a conversation with the Captain or Mr. Green Jeans.

Wasn't it when Bunny Rabbit/Mr Moose would trick the Captain? and all
the pingpong
balls would fall if he answered the joke right?
That was my FAVORITE kids show. I watched it every day. I loved the
banana man!!!
he was funny! The early shows in B/W were the greatest!
Bob Keeshan was the best.
Thanks for the great memories.
ahhh.

tho i watched some cartoons, not that many.
i preferred watching shows like 'Sky King', 'My Friend Flicka' (sp?),
westerns etc.
not much into the cartoons, tho did like Road Runner...beep beep!!
sure i caught the occasional bits of Capt Kangaroo but not on a regular
basis.
same with Howdy Doody show. a bit here and there is all.
i do recall watching a fair amount of tv when a kid too.
so how'd i miss the LIME green bug. shrug

Ah, no, Jeanne. It doesn't really matter. A lonely little guy who arrives
at a battered children's shelter will know and we only need to know that he
has something just specially for him.

"J*" my silly little response....

does it matter who he is?
he is a happy little LIME green bug, nuff said.
some little baby will love that, boy or girl.
they arent particular when they are babys.
just seeing the colour and smile on the bug will be good enough for any
wee
baby.
sounds like a right lovely wee quilt.

WHAT am I doing? You know I stitch quilt for Newborns in Need. Lately
they've all seemed to be kind of girlie and I wanted to do a boy quilt.
Fondling through the happy gifts from a very special friend of mine who
loves to find and send baby fabric to this quest, I came upon a:
Lime green happy bug sitting on a motorcycle.
I've sashed it with a bluejay beautiful batik and bordered it with
bumblebees and butterflies - but I have no idea who the bug on bike is.

Holy cow, did this bring back memories! I hadn't thought about Capt.
Kangaroo and all the characters in years. Some little kid is going to
LOVE your quilt and probably give that bug his very own name. Sounds
like really cute fabric...Donna

I loved Captain Kangaroo so much that I didn't want to start first
grade because it meant I couldn't see the show. Saturdays were for
reruns of the old Westerns and such (Flicka, Sky King) and cartoons
(Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Roadrunner and Coyote) and after school
we watched Icky Twerp and His Slam-Bang Theater. But week day mornings
were for Captain Kangaroo. Sigh.

When I was a kid, we still had black and white TV, though some neighbors
were buying color sets. Maybe you missed the lime bug for same reason,
Jeanne!

I mostly watched Rocketship 7 (a local kid program) when I was a kid, but
I saw enough Captain Kangaroo to now have a song from it stuck in my head.

"When a bunny sees a carrot there is nothing you can do
He will spy upon that carrot and before the day is though
he will creep up on that carrot like a little leprechaun
then *mouth pop* *finger snap* *whistle* all gone"
