I LOVED Captain! My sister told me that Mr. Green Jeans was a heroin addict (she was a mean five years older than me) and got into trouble with my mom for upsetting me, AND she wanted to know how an 11 year old knew what a heroin addict was! (During the early 60s, school were starting to bombard younger and younger kids with drug danger films, which everyone, even first graders, saw at least once a week). Since we lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, it was considered an immediate danger, you know, with the hippies and everything...but the hippies were too stoned usually to bother about anyone else, still, LSD was getting about then, and we had hysteria at least once a week when some kid claimed to see a drug dealer at recess, trying to "hook" kids with postage stamps, apples and candy, just like in the films...
