You're right Misha, Captain Kangaroo was a network show! That explains that.

Just saw the final segment this weekend on Local Kids Shows. I was surprised how interesting this segment was. Adam West did a kids show in Hawaii! The very earliest shows were before my time, like Bozo and all the clown type shows, I think I just missed the tail end of that. Though I do...
