Captain Kangaroo/Trivia


 * The Danza: Deborah Weems as Debbie.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: A young Tony Hawk appears in this short on skateboarding starting at 0:37.
 * Kevin Clash (aka Elmo) got his start as a puppeteer on a revival of the show in the 80's.
 * The Other Darrin: McDonough in the 1997 revival.
 * What Could Have Been: In 1974, a contract dispute with CBS nearly got the Captain's show canceled. CBS had Hanna-Barbera prepare a preschoolers animated show to replace it. The dispute was settled, the Captain stayed, and word is that Joe Barbera threw a celebratory banquet even though his show wouldn't be made because "I didn't want to be the man who got Captain Kangaroo canceled!"
