Bill Cosby And Captain Kangaroo?

I was Wandering around the internet, not sure what I was looking for, but I came across Captain Kangaroo, the 50s through 80's morning kids program that predated Sesame Street and The Electric Company. The Captain was 'The' morning kids program.

On the site, it mentioned Bill Cosby as a guest character on the show at first, then a regular. That was like having a Black man on the news desk with Walter Cronkite at the time.

U go Bill. That's staying power.

Wandering isn't always about going to places. Sometimes it's about Wandering through time.

This was an unexpected but welcome journey.

Ted Turner created CNN because he felt that(his words not mine), "CBS was too liberal."
