Does anyone else remember this TV personality?

[In The Sticks]

Our local weatherman (Willard Scott in the Washington DC TV market) played Bozo, and was the first Ronald McDonald.

I watched Bozo when I was a kid, but preferred Soupy Sales, Sheri Lewis and Captain Kangaroo.

Kermit the Froggyyyyyy !
I remember seeing the Kermit the Frog movie in a theatre out west and I laughed and laughed so much that other people were laughing at me laughing. It was killer funny.

Keesha. I am laughing so hard right now! I said Grover (for the frog)! That was Sesame Street! OMG!

Can you tell it's been a few years since I've been away from the likes of old television shows and characters? LOL!

 

[In The Sticks]

I knowwww. I thought everyone knew Kermie!
It reminded me of Family Freud a tv show where it was asked : ‘what’s Popeyes favourite food?’ and the contestant jumps up and screams ‘chicken,’ then does a little dance . Clearly they lost the game.
It was really funny though. lol

Indeed he was, but for me to mix-up Grover with Kermit-de-Frog, has me in stiches, ITS! LOL!

 

[Keesha]

Then of course there was this guy. Oscar!

Captain Kangaroo?

Colour, species, and even shape blind!

Captain Kangaroo?

Ironically enough, Captain Kangaroo, the Moose, and even Mr. Green Jeans, I still have burned in my memory!

No. I don’t remember them.
I remember this guy.
The friendly giant.

 

[In The Sticks]

Captain Kangaroo?

Bob Keeshan.

I just read on Wiki that it aired from 1955 to 1984!!!

I read a great article on the friendly giant (Bob Homme), who is sadly gone now, but when the show met it's end, it crushed him.

Nah! He’s creepy looking.
No wonder I didn’t watch it

I just looked him up. Never saw him.

He aired in Canada, almost entirely coinciding with Captain Kangaroo's reign.

A true classic it was.

Again. Not much different. We just both watched different creepy men. The friendly giant appears less creepy but then again he has rusty the rooster, Jerome the giraffe.
