I loved this. During the senate hearing I found myself thinking, “How dare that man interrupt Mr. Rogers!” Fred Rogers will always command more respect from me than any titled individual on the planet. He earned that respect gently and lovingly.

My daughter is not quite old enough to truly appreciate the wonderful neighborhood that Mr. Rogers created. I certainly can’t wait until she is! I have some incredibly fond memories of watching that show with my little sister.

My favorite ones were when he would take a trip to a factory and show how things were produced. The Crayola Factory visit is my all time favorite!!

I look forward to the documentary! I really can’t wait! I love love LOVE Mister Rogers, and 3/20 is always a special day for me as “Sweater Day”. Hurray for Mister Rogers.. I do hope that we can get his show on DVD someday soon, before our baby starts watching… eew… whatever ends up on tv in the next few years.

Is there anyone we could contact to let them know how interested we might be in being able to buy the seasons on DVD. I know that, deep in my heart, this was the show I wanted to use as an introduction to TV for my son (we won’t watch until he’s about 2 or so). I knew it would be something I could sit down with him and talk about later. I knew he’d be safe with Mr. Rogers. And, all these years later, I still feel a little spark of happiness when I hear Mr. Rogers tell me that he likes me just the way I am.

What a great post. I only wish you had posted it two weeks ago, so that I could have known and celebrated Won’t You Be My Neighbor Day.

Mr. Rogers was on in the 1/2 hour before lunch when I was a kindergardener. We watched it every day while the daycare made lunch.

I actually teared up a bit at the goodbye.

Oh, this made me cry! I am 9 months pregnant, but I think it just touched nerve because I have a 2 year old. I wish she could watch Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, but it is not on in our area. I do only let her watch PBS children’s shows as I feel they are better than what is on other channels. Thank you for sharing these videos. He was a very special person indeed!

What a nice tribute. I had no idea…. I hope the show is around when my 4mo. old is ready to start watching, and I will definitely put the existing DVDs on her Christmas List. Or maybe I should start TiVoing them.

Thank you for this. Mister Rogers was one of my favorites as a kid, and the first dvds I looked into getting after my son was born. I am so sad there aren’t more dvds available.
