Oh, dude, really? Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans were just trying to entertain kids, not start a rock band. So, no, they weren't out there partying with The Wiggles. They were probably too busy dealing with mischievous puppet friends and oversized talking clocks.
It is not recorded that Captain Kangaroo played Bob Keeshan or Mr. Green Jeans played by Hugh Brannum had any drug problems in real life. Hugh Brannum died of cancer in 1987. Bob Keeshan died of a long illness in 2004.
Mr. Green Jeans was a fictional character. He was a farmer and a regular character, more or less educational- on The television program Captain Kangaroo. I am not sure if one or more than one actor essayed the role- as Captain Kangaroo was afloat a good many years.
Captain Kangaroo (Bob Keeshan) was the host of a children's television show that ran for 30 years (mid 50s to mid 80s). His sidekick was Mr. Green Jeans.
The character... No of course not. There are no openly gay characters on children's TV shows today so there certainlywouldn't have been any when Captain Kangaroo was on the air.-If there are gay characters on children's TV today, I feel safe in saying they can be counted on one hand-If you mean the actor who played Mr. Green Jeans, there is no indication he was gay. If he was that information has been lost to history.
No he is not. Frank Zappa's father is Francis Vincent Zappa, Sr. Urban legend says that Mr. Green Jeans, a regular on Captain Kangaroo was Frank Zappa's father. That is not true!!! While numerous people have answered this question, and Frank Zappa himself addressed the topic years ago, claiming that Mr. Green Jeans was NOT his father, the fact is we simply do not know with whom Frank Zappa's mother was sleeping. Without exhuming Hugh Brannum's and Frank Zappa's bodies and performing DNA tests, this question will never be definitively answered. In my opinion, there is far too much denial for there not to be something more to this story. And let's face it: as much as we loved Frank Zappa, he simply was not that reliable and we should not automatically assume that Mr. Brannum is not his father. Think about it. It would have been embarrassing to have Mr. Green Jeans as your father if you were as wild and crazy as Frank Zappa. Also, we cannot deny the fact that the cast of Captain Kangaroo enjoyed smoking pot, as did Frank Zappa. So, while Francis Vincent Zappa, Sr. was undoubtedly Frank Zappa's legal father, we simply do not have anything that proves he was his biological father.
There was no Mr. Fred on Captain Kangaroo.There were only three characters named Mr. anything:Mr. Baxter, played by actor James E. Wall - seen from 1974-1981.Mr. Green Jeans, played by actor Hugh Brannum - seen from 1955-1984.Mr. Moose, portrayed by puppeteer Cosmo Allegretti - seen from 1976-1981.This is not exactly true. There was a blobby cartoon guy on a screen that the Captain would talk to and his name was Fred.
