Retro Saturday, April 19, 2008

I took my class on field trip to the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco yesterday. I will have some pictures to post later but today is Retro Saturday. A trip to the zoo yesterday isn't quite retro today. But in keeping with the retro theme and the zoo I have a few clips from Captain Kangaroo and then an extra special clip. I know it's a stretch but I watched this when stuff when I was young and had great fun.

Here they are.

This is a clip from the very first episode in 1955.

And now the intro to a Tom Terrific cartoon from Captain Kangaroo.

And now let's stretch the theme one more time. I have a commercial from Beech Nut Fruit Stripe Gum from the 60's. Yep, animals in the commercial help me tie this back into the zoo theme.
