This was from a more innocent time. I remember watching this show on Saturdays when it was not fit to be outside.

When I see all the stuff on the air now to attract kids' fancies, it's still easy to remember when he was all there was and all I needed.

I have always wondered if Lumpy Green, (Mr. Green Jeans) did all the puppeteering on that show. Bunny Rabbit, Mr. Moose, Grandfather Clock. You notice that Mr. Green Jeans seldom appears with those characters, always the Captain himself. I had forgotten the Captain called the place the Treasure House. That show would never get past the pilot stage today.
