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

The All New Captain Kangaroo

In the late ’90s, Saban Entertainment created a revival of “Captain Kangaroo,” calling it “The All New Captain Kangaroo,” which featured John McDonough as the Captain. It doesn’t seem as if the revival was quite successful, as the show only ran for one season before spin-off shows aired in its place. Keeshan was even invited to appear on the show, but decided he wanted no affiliation with it when he saw some sample episodes.
