That was actually one of the first ever formulated series finales in history. Oddly I researched it just last week. Most shows back then never really planed a special ending. Howdy Doody, Leave it to Beaver and Mary Tyler Moore are the three top memorable series finales. And the highly copied and spoofed ones at that.
I have heard my mum talk about this show but I have never seen it. Wonder if they will ever play it on Deja Vu?
I remember them all. Boy, am I old!!!!!!!
Remember Captain Kangaroo? I used to watch him all the time.
Three actors played Clarabell. The first was Bob Keeshan, who later became Captain Kangaroo. Keeshan was succeeded by Bobby Nicholson, who later played the character of J. Cornelius Cobb on The Howdy Doody Show. Lew Anderson was the third and last person to play Clarabell. Anderson played the character from 1954 until the series' final show on September 24, 1960.
Mr. Green Jeans, played by the actor Hugh "Lumpy" Brannum (b. January 5, 1910 in Sandwich, Illinois - d. April 22, 1987 East Stroudsburg, Pa), was the right-hand man to Captain Kangaroo (played by Bob Keeshan) on the popular children's television program, Captain Kangaroo.
Mr. Green Jeans earned his moniker from his distinctive apparel, a pair of farmer's overalls in his signature green. He was a talented and inquisitive handyman who provided assistance at the Treasure House. He frequently visited the Captain with the latest addition to his menagerie of zoo animals.
