I am wondering about the rerun part.
The fact remains. He served our country.

Reruns. You know a re-run of an original run. A rerun can never be the original "run". That one.

Captain Kangaroo ran in reruns on PBS television stations from 1986-1993, with funding from PBS stations and from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. American Public Television, then known as the "Interregional Program Service", distributed the show, along with Britder Associates (Bob Keeshan's production company), and the Riehl Company, owned by former WPBT-TV station manager Dale Riehl.

My daughter who is now 22 use to watch it so I guess I had no choice but to watch those reruns with her. That is what you do when you are a good parent. Gotta love it.

Anymore cheesy questions?
