Jim Fanning's Tulgey Wood TV -A Treasure House Thanksgiving With Captain Kangaroo!
by Jim Fanning
Note: "Jim Fanning's Tulgey Wood TV" is an ongoing video series from writer and historian Jim Fanning featuring fun and informative glimpses into movies, TV, comics, animation, theme parks, books and magazines, memorabilia and more. For past videos, check out Jim's YouTube Channel. Thank you for sharing your collection and expertise with your fellow nerds, Jim!
Celebrate the 65th anniversary of this landmark TV series with some Captain Kangaroo memorabilia from my collection. You’ll see such Tulgey Wood favorites as View-Masters and record albums, plus we’ll find some surprises in Captain’s kangaroo-sized pockets. Plus meet Captain Kangaroo’s Treasure House friends including not only Mr. Green Jeans, Mister Moose, Bunny Rabbit and Dancing Bear, but also Fred from Channel 1, Magic Drawing Board, and even a glimpse of Miss Frog, followed by a very special Thanksgiving celebration!
Many thanks to Captain Kangaroo and classic media authority Jason Merrick for the use of many of the images seen in this video.

"I can almost envision Alice and I walking hand in hand among the croquet match, listening to the Queen of Hearts demand her bounty of rolling heads, and trying to make heads and tails of who is winning the confounded game. Am I leading her to safety or is she leading me?"
