This is great! I too am 54 and was a Capt. Tugg addict. As sure as the pull of gravity you would find me every evening planted in front of the old black and white watching Tugg and the Stooges while Mom cooked supper! What a great memory - like being 8 again. I remember thinking I was a genius when I was old enough to figure out Tugg was also Capt. Lee. Around the time I did this he went off the air unexpectedly. It was a shock!
Sorry to report maties that Lee Reynolds aka Cap'n Tugg passed away January 27th at home in Virginia. He was 87. He will be missed by all the DC boomer kids who ran home to watch every school day. He played most of the chacters. Great show, great man. Bless you.

I'm another D.C. kid who watched Captain Tugg on WTTG/5. TTG = Tugg (get it?) Thanks to him, I'm aware of the incredibly cool first generation Popeye cartoons done in the early and mid 1930s. What a great memory - and time capsule - this video clip is!
I was a kid near Lexington Park, MD in the '50's and my brothers and I watched this show, Mon-Fri, 5 pm. Followed by the 3 Stooges. What memories thing brings back in front of our little TV set in the living room. We thought that cardboard tug boat was REAL. Didn't they bring kids on there if they had a carnival in their backyard for Muscular Distrophy ? Oh My God...this makes me want a TV dinner tonight !!!
Thanks Captain Tugg wherever you are for incredible childhood memories.
I used to love this show as a kid growing up in D.C.! I, too, at age six, thought the "Channel Queen" was a real tug. Indeed; it does appear that Cap't Tugg's speaking tube has a toilet plunger for a mouth/earpiece (a tub faucet shower adapter made do for Mr. Flanagan's end of the apparatus, apparently!) What fun to see this again!!
Oh, so many memories! I think this show first came on when I was in kindergarten, and I was still watching it in 5th grade. And all those years, I really thought he was really on a ship in the Potomac River!
Great stuff! Does anyone remember when .. ehem .. "Tuggsy" was attacked by Spike Marlin and Axel Grackle? They rolled some footage of some very scary WWII battleship action, I believe. I was about 5 or 6, living in Fredericksburg VA, and ran wailing to my parents that "we've got to save Cap'n Tugg!" I lived for my daily "Tugg fix", as I didn't call it. I even did a Muscular Dystrophy carnival one year.
I adored Cap'n Tugg when I was a little kid growing up in the DC area in the early 1960s.
I forgot what Capn Tugg looked like until I saw this again... after some 40 years. Seems like yesterday when I was a 10 year old kid.
Happy Birthday To Lee Reynolds... 81 years young today!!!
Awesome! This is the best - I thought I'd never see an extended clip from Tugg's old show. Thanks a heap!
i remember commmander salamander, i believe some entrepreneur co-opted that name for a business in the dc metro area...the memories...thanks Kaptain Kidshow..youtube
Brings back more memories.Ch.5 it was Metro Media back then.
Great show!
I just told my significant other, who is from Philadelphia originally, that this is NOT Sally Starr. I have heard so much about Sally Starr and her Popeye cartoons from other Philadelphians, but I'm sure she can't hold a candle to Cap'n Tugg.
This was a childhood favorite of mine too! The tugboat which traveled on the Potomac River. I was waiting for his tugboat to return, but the show was cancelled.
With the strength of 10 ordinary men, is the mighty Hercules!
Bill Johnson and the Three Stooges! Yes! I remember once after a particularly vicious episode ol' Bill coming on camera and admonishing kids not to do what the Stooges did because, you know, they were professionals, or something.
Loved this show! Popeye!
