On October 18, 2000, the local cable children's show Captain McCool and Friends won 3 Gold Star cable awards! The show won "Best Series Program," "Best Community Program," and the big daddy, "Overall Excellence in Production" award -- which means "McCool" beat every program out there.

Below is a photo of Tony Ducklow (aka Captain McCool) picking up one of his awards, flanked by awards hosts KMSP-TV personality Stephan Reynolds on the left, and Allan Lotsberg (Willie Ketchem from the classic program Clancy and Willie) on the right.

 
Captain McCool was seen on SCC (Suburban Cable Commission) on Channel 15 at 4:00 p.m. every Monday in the Ramsey and Washington counties of Minnesota from 2000-2004.
