I'm no network marketing expert but I keep thinking that CBS is missing a marketing opportunity. A lot of baby boomers, including me, grew up with Captain Kangaroo. I would think that quite a few of us would like to buy DVDs for our kids and grandkids to watch. As I see it, CBS has the Captain Kangaroo videotapes sitting in a vault somewhere not earning any money whatsoever. It should be a simple matter to contract out with a 3rd party to convert those to DVD and distribute. Even if it only adds a few million dollars to CBS's profits each year, that'll pay for quite a few salaries. How about it, CBS? Can someone provide a reason that Captain Kangaroo is still not on DVD? My two growing boys are quickly losing the opportunity to watch this wonderful show.

I recently received a response to my post from a gentleman who indicated that a CBS technician informed him that CBS does not have tapes of the series. He also indicated that the Keeshan estate is said to have only a couple of handfuls of episodes. I have not verified the information but am just providing the feedback I received.
