Captain Kangaroo
Sorry, I saw belatedly that you supplied a citation for the "9000 performances" figure. However, as I mentioned in my reversion, that's problematic; for most of the show's run, it was performed only on weekdays, and there were only 7600 weekdays in 29 years. I'm not sure toytales.ca can be considered a reliable source. Could you try to find another?  General Ization  Talk   00:31, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Aha. Here's part of the problem: this article says "Keeshan would play Captain Kangaroo for 36 years -- more than 9,000 performances -- to the amusement and benefit of generations of delighted children." I find that a good deal more believable, as there actually enough days available to accumulate 9000 performances.  Please take a look, though, at the discrepancy between the 29 years quoted in our article and the 36 years mentioned at this source.  General Ization   Talk   00:35, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

I will check it out. Thanks, Todd
 * I'd suggest using this NY Times article, rather than toytales.ca, as the source for the 9000 performances (note that neither source said "episodes" as you did -- that may be a subtle but important distinction). It doesn't offer any insight to the 36 vs 29 year discrepancy (it talks about "nearly 30 years"), but it's a source that's above reproach.  General Ization  Talk   01:15, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
