(3,224 posts)... yep, when they took Captain Kangaroo off the air, I knew we were going to have at least one generation that would be "lost". When scanning the "airwaves" in the mornings at the Captain's time slot, I kept on finding Animaniacs and other violent, smack 'em up, shoot 'em up kids shows.
No one to tell kids "Good Morning" and "have a nice day", before they left for school.

Eh...my indoor/outdoor antenna works pretty good,might upgrade to a newer and better one and tell them later days......
