Captain kangaroo bunny rabbit9/25/2023 I think the eyeglasses really put me off. I always knew “Bunny Rabbit” was a puppet. I had a love/hate feeling for “Bunny Rabbit”. The other regular item stored in the pockets were carrots for “Bunny Rabbit”. Hence my mental association with jingling keys and the Captain Kangaroo theme song. He jingled the keyring before unlocking the doors to the “Treasure House”. He kept his large keyring in one of those pockets. If I recall correctly, his character’s name was derived from his tunic equipped with very large pockets. The first detail I remember was one that I learned well after I outgrew the show. I decided to grab a notepad so I could jot down the features of the program. While drinking my coffee this morning, the watch triggered the Captain Kangaroo theme song in my head. I have a wristwatch with a mechanical kinetic feature that sounds like a very quiet version of a keychain when I move my arm a particular way. There is one sound that makes me think of Captain Kangaroo, that is the noise that a keyring makes if someone is jostling a batch of keys. As I write this paragraph, I shudder to imagine how long ago that was. I remember watching the “Captain Kangaroo” show nearly every single morning. I think one of the best ways to think of this is to remember what we used to view on television when we were very young. Television programs exemplify this quite well. That period of our lives seems mostly to be a big blur. We remember being a child, but we only remember a very few specific details of our childhood. There are some aspects of daily life that become so ubiquitous that we forget individual examples of those aspects.
