The book can accuse but unless there is proof, shut up and don’t destroy good memories. Bob never did anything bad in front of any kids or the camera for 34 years of the show as far as we know or can prove.
The “dark secret” story sounds implausible to me. If Hugh was not a willing participant in the untoward behavior, why would he tolerate it from BK, at all?
There's always somebody that wants to tarnish someone's name, Mr. Green Jeans could of went to the head of the studio if this were true...Lies, it's all lies...
You never raised the possibility that Hugh could have been lying. I'm not saying Bob wasn't guilty...but did he ever admit to this behavior? Was there any proof? I met Keeshan, once, in the late 80's. He was very kind...and he didn't flash me.
Right, this story assumes that story told by Hugh is true. For some reason, this story is presented as if it's an absolute cold fact. My family and I regularly vacation in the Poconos in Pennsylvania. Hugh owned a home and lived in the area of the Shawnee Inn and Resort. We have gone on a few guided tours, and anytime they point out his house, all they will say is that by reputation, he was not a very nice guy. So, you choose who to believe.
Everyone seems to forget that these two were two Marines/war-veterans. After everything they’ve seen (as Marines) this was probably crude horse-play. It didn’t involve anyone else & didn’t have anything to do with the children or show. This sounds like a hit-piece.
I grew up (?) in the 1950's and the "Captain" was there along with: Howdy Doody, Boom Town, Mello Tunes, Big Brother, Bob Emrey, etc.... Also, "Warning! If you see a Big, Bright Flash, Take Cover Immediately." Watched Pinky Lee go down on live TV. Before they had the "Three Second Pause" (?). Remember Ding Dong School? Those were the Days. Thanks.
Hoagers, wow, who peed in your Corn Flakes? This person was a fan of the show as a small child and expressing their love for the shows they grew up with. What could be possibly wrong with that? Attacking someone for a positive comment, reminds me of a famous gop person. If you got out and received some fresh air and sunshine on occasion, it would help your outlook on life. Good luck. Have a nice day.
The 80's? Captain Kangaroo ended in the mid 60's. Keeshan tried to keep the concept going by rolling into another children's program, called "The Town Clown". I loved watching the program, when I was a child in the 50's. I don't know if I would believe the "flashing" thing without more corroboration. One thing your video didn't bring out was that Bob Keeshan was in the Marines, in WW2. Lee Marvin was on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson". They were talking about Marvin's being on Iwo Jima for that famous battle. Lee Marvin (also a Marine) said that Bob Keeshan was his platoon sergeant and "was the bravest man he'd ever known". One thing that the Capt. Kangaroo show was known for was that they wouldn't hire anyone who didn't love children.
@@moriahfeatherrae8265 You're welcome. I was also shocked when I heard Lee Marvin say this about Keeshan on national TV. All we ever saw from Capt. Kangaroo was his gentle nature. It's hard to imagine him as a Marine NCO.
Wikipedia says "Captain Kangaroo" ended in 1984. I remember watching it daily in the late 1970s and the weekly version in the early 80s. You can find 1980s episodes here on RUclips.
@@MR_MRM_ Yeah... Wikipedia is always so accurate... I saw Bob Keeshan on 60 minutes in the mid 70's and he was quite ancient by then. Much, much older than in his TV show. What you were probably watching was syndicated.
Captain ended on CBS in December 1984 and lasted on PBS from 1986-1992/3. The Town Clown first appeared in episodes of Bob Keeshan's 1964-1965 Saturday series "Mister Mayor". The TC segments were then seen on Captain into the early 1980's.
It was a great show. He was a great, gentle, ans kind man who had a positive and endearing influence on entire generations. Glad I was a kid when I was with shows like this. I cant say that adult humor off set, even with children's shows, doesn't go on, and much worse today. You also have to consider the times 60's-70's. People were VERY different than today. Things weren't taken so seriously and men were king and got away with all kinds of things. Its not for me to judge with today's cancel culture phase. I still love the man. He was a Dad and Grampa to a love of kids that didnt have one and had a great show. Children's shows today are terrible! If that's the worst he did, wow. It doesnt take away from what he did and gave to us. I am 53. I was born when they were setting up the stages for Wooodstock. I was raised thru the 70's and a teen in the 80's. We were the last of the best of times for kids. I know, because I am also a Mom of 3. I think my childhood was AWESOME. I wish kids today were so lucky. 🧡🙏
I don't believe it. Not for a minute. Also, the name was BRAN-um... not bra-NUM. As someone else pointed out, you have the completely wrong Al Lewis. It wasn't the Munsters star, it was Al Lewis of Cincinnati... who had the popular Uncle Al kids show in that city, and which ran for a brief time on network television in those days.
Only thing I remember about it was starting my Saturday morning waiting for the cartoons to begin. I suppose once cartoon network they were everywhere the feeling and moments I experienced as a kid were forever lost. Nothing special about something you get everyday anytime you want it. Like the old saying only three channels to watch and sports and news are on all of them. Or the president of the time. Sundays Disney movies and Friday late night movies. Then late scifi movies Sunday nights. As far as them doing dirty jokes on one another, at least he got pay back.
If you can find one adult person in the world that doesn’t have a sinful passed, let us know, every human on earth are sinners. In a world of sin. Those of you that cast the stone that is with out sin are LIERS.
As a parent Idgaf what the people entertaining my child do behind the scenes. They’re human too. If you’re going to judge someone on the worst thing they ever did than I shouldn’t be a mom then because I did illegal things before I had my daughter. The only thing that matters is that they put on a good show that teaches the children something valuable or makes them smile. This is the same thing they tried to do to Pee Wee, make him look like a huge weirdo for doing something human. Honestly if that’s the worst dirt you got on the guy, it’s relieving because it shows that he’s just a normal guy that jokes around too. Mr Green Jeans engaged in it too because they were just guys fooling around like they would in a locker room. You’d have to be a weak idiot to actually be offended by that.
Now had this came out while both men were alive to discuss the matter then I’d comment on it but since they’re both dead now it’s kinda like oh well🤷🏽♀️
So let me get this straight. Mr. Green Jeans peed on Capt. Kangaroo's legs? But not being a politician, he didn't tell him it was "rain," or raise his taxes again?.......... So where is the problem?
I think you are just trying to capitalize off of Captain Kangaroo for clicks and that the story is ridiculous, even without kids on the set, there are all kinds of other people involved in the production and it would be impossible to do this many times or on a regular basis and have it be seen by anyone else.
It would kind of make you think of why are these people talking about this now? I really thought they was going to say something about the scandal that nobody knew about, but then somebody lied about it
Come on it's Captain kangaroo and like Bill Cosby the flashing was a thing in the past obviously especially pissing on somebody which is what he obviously got he got pissed on 🤷🏼♂️💯😂 but I still loved the series mommy come on you got Captain kangaroo and you got the clowns you got everything all packed in one like prairie ka pup where everything goes up 😂
0:42 “For a show to last that long, it probably had some dark secrets that no one knew about..” Why? Why does it have to have “dark secrets” for it to last long? Maybe it lasted long because kids loved it and it got outstanding ratings because of that! 🙄
Do your own research. Everything is out there, including the court documents about him being accused and found guilty of child molestation. I loved this show as a child, but when so many children come forward and accuse one person of molestation, you kinda have to listen, regardless what good memories the person gave you. Keep in mind all of the priests and pervert uncles and grand-dads from that time that no one knew were pedos and all of the parents that helped to cover those secrets up. As for keeping his legacy for the children of that era, we have all grown up and are capable of getting passed it. He was found guilty and sentenced to more than 60 years in prison back in 1998. Lucky for him he was already old and would soon die in 2004.
Why ruin what few wholesome childhood memories that many of many of us older adults have. There are no more wholesome children's show anymore, they all (or nearly all) show or promote some sort of violence or foul language. Let us keep our fond untarnished memories of the Captain Kangaroo show.
Some of the shots you show of Clarabelle were when the clown was portrayed by Lew Anderson. It would seem like you need to learn the meaning of the word 'research'.
endured and endured and endured ? the 1st time it occurred it should've been addressed. was enduring reason regarding need for fame ? Dire need of the money ? 🤔
Since when is a child witness the difference and the crux between evil and okay? So if a guy shoots my dog with a gun, it's okay as long as a kid doesn't see it? If a woman gets viciously raped, it's okay as long as a child doesn't witness it? That's some really twisted standards, and it makes not an ounce of sense.
This sounds completely FAKE. From what little I know. Bob was the same person in real life as on screen. But if any of it is true DO NOT tell me; I don't wish to know.
we grew up with Bob. he taught is right and right, gave us love and humor. This man was part of youth and we thank him for his work
Correction: It was NOT the Al Lewis of The Munsters fame. It was a different Lewis. Thank you.
The book can accuse but unless there is proof, shut up and don’t destroy good memories. Bob never did anything bad in front of any kids or the camera for 34 years of the show as far as we know or can prove.

Bunny Rabbit was a weird character. He couldn't talk, but just banged his face on the counter to communicate
Captain Kangaroo was so clean that he out shined the sun 🌞! And besides even if true remember that off cam these people were adoults.

Exactly and the guy had a book out trying to make money dirt always sells
Oh my I was on his show once as a Camp Fire Girl
Oh my goodness!!! Tell me about this!!!! WOW!!!! He was my hero when I was a kid...the good ole Captain!!!!
Would you remember the year?
I do NOT belive it they waited till he was dead to say this gutless
It does seem a little suspect, doesn't it? It's certainly the first time I'VE ever heard these claims...But who knows?
Can’t we have any memories that can’t be bashed with smut. Whether he did, she did…I kinda like my memories in tack the way they are.
Not sure I believe this. Needs more collaboration. This was a great guy
I agree. I need actual proof, the captain was like my best friend on t.v. I refuse to believe this.
I think the Captain was clean cut with
the children of the 50's through the '80s!
no one came here to find out what you think, get over yourself
It sounds unbelievable. Was it an ongoing joke ? The two seemed to get along . They were both on the the show practically till the end.

That was my favorite show as a child. Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Green Jeans, Dancing Bear. Great for a severly ADD kid.
I agree it could have all been a lie I doubt this ever happened and I hate this crap after the people are dead and can't defend themselves so shove it
Most terrifying TV show outside of the Banana Splits.
Probably just another typical lie that is rampant in our country. No one can just be a good person. Not allowed.
