Why Nostalgia for Captain Kangaroo is Captivating Everyone

I’m old enough to remember waking up and watching Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans on television.

There was no streaming service waiting for us. We didn’t have hundreds of channels, endless recommendations, or a screen in every room. You couldn’t simply choose any episode you wanted and start it whenever you felt like it.

You watched your favorite program when it came on.
