Captain Kangaroo

This was the first network kids show in the USA.

I did not know this! But I wonder why the first network kids show in the US was called Captain Kangaroo when the kangaroo is native to Australia and is also part of the Coat of Arms of my country of birth.

Perhaps Australia was looking for a bit of world domination in the 1950s and 1960s!
