And he got memorialized in a song about playing with a deck of 51.
While smoking cigarettes
Til dawn
For a second, I thought it might be Mark Davis, owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. Upon further inspection, this haircut is so much better than his.
Mark Davis absolutely asks his barber for a Captain Kangaroo haircut.
I love how that song has “it’s good to see you, I must go I know I look fright.” Just as Butch sees Marcelles Wallace crossing the street.
ZOMG! We had a B&W tv growing so this may be the first time I've ever seen Mr. Green Jeans in color. That is some serious green.
Lol yes! I watched this every morning as a kid
Same! When older brother and sister left for school, I knew it was time for Captain Kangaroo, lol.
Unfortunately, I don't remember any of the episodes. Rompers room, now I remember bits and pieces of that. This was on right after Captain K.
Romper Room! Freaked me out one morning as she was looking through her magic mirror and said my name. I was in a t-shirt and undies. So embarrassing
Lol. I pulled up an episode on Tourube just to see why I watched it. She had the magic mirror and I laughed. It was weird and I can see where our child brains thought she could see us.
That was my reaction first time I saw this picture (which wasn't that long ago). That is indeed some serious green.
Fun Fact: There's a picture of Captain Kangaroo (Bob Keeshan) atop Mt. Everest. His grandson, Britton Keeshan, is a mountain climber, and he buried a picture of himself and his grandpa on the summit of Everest.
Very cool
Mr Green F’in Jeans!!! I used to love this show… although bunny rabbit may have freaked me out a little…
Bunny Rabbit was a stinker. He'd always manage to get the carrots from the Captain.
You mean the moose? I don’t remember a bunny, but it’s been sooooo long
There was a mischievous Mr Rabbit and Mr Moose…and his ping pong balls of course!
And his dog, BB. ( English sheep dog)
Did someone say ping pong balls???
If you are really, really old you will remember Little Orly records narrated by Uncle Lumpy Brannum aka Mr Green Jeans.
Only remember in black and white
It’s Frank Zappa’s father! 😂
There's proof! Listen to Son Of Mister Green Genes - it's all there! 🤣😂
Captan Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans
Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman
Lol
I watched the show often, I can't tell you now what it was about.
Who's the guy with Mr Greenjeans?
Mr. Green Jeans!
Not sarcasm. My wife was an actress on the London west end at the time. She was working at the the Mayfair theater. After a show, a man at the bar spoke to her. He said he enjoyed her performance and she thanked him. They got to talking and he said, "I'm in the business too, don't you recognize me!?" My wife said, " sorry ,I dont." The story goes, he was not amused when he had to explain who he was unfortunately for him, he didn't realize that in England, my wife never saw him. Captain Kangaroo was anonymous in London of the mid 80's.
"at the time"? Captain Kangaroo was only a real king of media when we all still had black and white TV's..mid60s, though remaining perhaps well later, albeit less popular or relevant with the rise of Mr Rogers and Sesame St.
My wife was born in 54. He was no thought in England. That's why I said at the time, people now may know about him, but still not america so not on tv.
No criticism intended, just that by the late 60s CaptainK was on the wane even in the states.
True. I guess my story was more about the man . He really had a fit my wife didn't know him.
You're looking at two men who are U.S. Marines. And TV legends. :)
Countin' flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of 51
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
So don't tell meeee... I've nothin to dooooo....
I’m now wondering if my love for the color green goes all the way back to this.
Eventually this sub will run out of TV shows - toys - junk food and not so stylish style from the 60s. Yes I watched The Captain but we had a black and white TV.
Mr. Green Jeans! He was my favorite! ❤️
Dunno but I'm smoking cigarettes and watching captain kangaroo
Don’t tell me I’ve nothing to do.
I loved Captain Kangaroo as a kid.
Captain, she hasn't more power I can give ya!
Wrong Captain. But Scotty was awesome!
Mr. Green Jeans was our weed code word when I was kid
I remember seeing Bob Keeshan on the Mike Douglas Show
Captain kangaroo and Mr. Greenjeans
I got to talk to Bob Keeshan (Captian Kangaroo) in the one and only time I called into a radio program. He was being interviewed by a PBS host about his work in children's television. It was such a thrill to let him know what a big part of my childhood he was.
Looks like Max Hardcore
This picture made me realize I never ever saw the show in color!
This picture made me

Captain Kangaroo!!
Haircut! And trim that moose-tash, Marine!
Wasn’t there a rabbit who ate carrots or something? Damn I’m getting foggy. 😶🌫️
There was a rabbit, a moose, a dancing bear, and a talking grandfather clock.
The clock!! 🤯
Mr. Moose for President!!!

Colgate fluoride M-F-P, helps prevent the cavity, and it tastes great naturally
I'm still bummed out that the Captain changed his coat!
I was onstage during one of his broadcasts, or at least one of his tapings in NYC. I ended crying onstage because the Capt ran out of gifts to give me after giving to others onstage with me. He was less than pleased. And you think circumcision is traumatizing!!!!!
Mr Greene Jeans : Cmon round the Bar later? Con on Capt'n ...dont be mad...
Better call saul
We only had a black and white TV. At the time I didn’t understand that Mr. Free jeans’ pants were literally green.
Paul F Tompkins and Bob Odenkirk.
Michael McDonald and Mr. Green Jeans.
Mr. Green Jeans was a KGB agent. He worked the Captain like a puppet.
They are both a bit sus 😜
It's by coincidence that I, being a MST3K fan, was thinking of a movie they riffed on where an older, heavy set man walks in a bar with a tall, slender man. One of the mockers says, "Hey, it's Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans out clubbing!"
hall and oates?
To this very day when I see the bowl cut I’ll work an ok Captain Kangaroo into my snark
Mr. Greenjeans
This show was great and all, but I prefer Commander Kangaroo from SCTV
Clarabelle in a new suit.
My brother had that same green jeans outfit! In red too. Toughskins by Sears.
Where’s bunny rabbit?
There was a bunny and moose
Yes ... There was Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Moose, and also a talking grandfather clock that gave words of wisdom.
Yes ty
All we need is Bunny Rabbit with his red glasses
Captain Kangaroo and Joe Biden. /s
There was always a rumor when I was a kid that Mr. Green Jeans was a pedophile. Anybody hear that?
Captain Pedophile and his child groping side kick!
