Captain Kangaroo

Captain Kangaroo (Bob Keeshan) is a character in Joe Rogers's GoAnimate, based on the character from the series that aired from 1955-1984 on CBS. His real life counterpart is deceased (he died on January 23, 2004) so he is alive in Go City due to goanimate logic.

Appearance
He looks much like his real life counterpart does, and he wears a jacket with big pockets (which sadly aren't visible in comedy world, especially this is why he is called Captain Kangaroo), and a tie, he has a mustache, and he always dyes his hair (which a jealous Mister Rogers ruined it one time) Despite being pretty old, he somehow manages to look younger than he is. He is also the only character in Go City to have voice changes based on his emotions.

History
Captain Kangaroo's tv series originally aired on cbs in 1955. And it was a hit, as Captain was very famous for that, at the time. In 1968, however, Mister Rogers (who in real life was a very nice man) came in and put his show in obscurity. It was very severe by the time it ended in 1984, also CBS pretty much screwing up the show also made him quit too. All new footage of the PBS reruns were filmed in 1984 in Sprungfeld, which eventually became Go City. He would eventually be impersonated by John McDonough (who recently died in real life) in 1998, who insulted him. Captain Kangaroo eventually became a very strict disciplinarian, to be someone nobody wants to mess with. Although most kids have common sense, some such as Caillou Anderson willingly misbehave in front of him, and it never ends well. Captain is a huge fan of the Wiggles, as they also are fans of him as well. They became friends ever since the Captain travelled to Australia in 1996. Captain Kangaroo has done Reunion shows with his cast before.

Personality
Although he is a very cheerful fellow, often calm, and he will often play tons of fun games with the children, and sing songs and, sometimes encourage and be sympathetic to people. He is never someone you want to mess with, or misbehave in front of. At first his punishments are lighter when kids stop misbehaving and genuinely stop, the main times he really rages is at the troublemakers who keep going and do not care, this includes Mister Rogers,, his arch nemesis, the really difficult to deal with Caillou Anderson, and bratty Angelica Pickles. The Captain rarely gives people second chances. He also doesn't like being impersonated either, However, he can EASILY sense mistakes from deliberate troublemaking acts.

Trivia

 * Although in real life, Fred Rogers and Bob Keeshan got along, they are archenemies in Joe Rogers GoAnimate due to the fact that he HEAVILY blames Mister Rogers for Captain Kangaroo's obscurity. Because Mister Rogers started the "PBS revolution" of kids shows, which arguably was the main cause of the show's obscurity.
 * The obscurity is SO BAD that there aren't even enough episodes to be found ANYWHERE, this includes online. Most episodes are either altered pbs versions, home video versions, or incomplete. This includes episodes from ANY ERA!!!
 * His birthday is on June 27th,
 * He is the only character to have voice changes based on emotions
 * Apparently Bob Keeshan and Hugh "Lumpy" Brannum (Mr. Green Jeans) did weird stuff to each other in real life for an ad play (this is obviously untrue in goanimate) While Joe Rogers is grossed out, he still thinks its a good show.
 * One of the main reasons why he became a grounder was to change his life, and to make himself better as a person.
 * Joe Rogers had a difficult time deciding on his body, he knew he wasn't thin, but making him in the fat comedy world model seemed way too insulting as it looks very obese, and have too limited actions, so he decided to use the regular male body.
 * He Feels old shame about airing the Sutherland Learning Associates cartoons The Most Important Person and the Kingdom of Could Be You, the former due to annoying songs, poor plots, whiny voices, and feeling like a predecessor to Caillou, and the latter for poor information about career choices.
