Props to Mr. Rogers.
This is the TV show where I learned where milk comes from and also how taffy is made.
I hated that freakin' alternative world behind his wall though. King Friday and Lady Elaine weirded me out and I still have nightmares about their freakish demeanor.

Mr Rogers has forever creeped me out. He's like the librarian at your elementary school the teachers all kept a suspicious eye on.

What? Meow-Meow Kitty freaked you out? X the Owl frightened you? King Friday, Lady Elaine and that kooky Daniel Striped Tiger...scary? Freakish demeanor - the Platypus family abd the rest of them were NORMAL compared to what else was on TV...remember ZOOM? Electric Company? Okay, Mr. Rogers had his down moments. I wasn't exactly enamored of "Speedy" Mr. McFeely or Handyman Negrey. But hey, I looooved that Trolley!

Mr. McFeely just sounds like a child molester. Who came up with that name? It's like calling him Mr. Groper or something.

Tina, you're scary. :)

If you read the link provided in the Ping, McFeely is actually Fred Rogers' (Mr. Rogers) middle name.

Ah... that's interesting. I guess his parents figured he'd have a whole lot of McFeelings to share when he grew up.

I was sad to hear about Mr. Rogers ending his show as well... when I was growing up I'd watch Sesame Street three times a day and "Roger" twice.

You got "rogered" twice a day as a kid?

wow no one has posted here for a while... I loved Mr Rogers, my great uncle would come in during the intro and put his sweater in the closet, and take off his shoes. Anyone who dislikes this show needs help. (meow meow)

I enjoyed Mr. Rogers a whole lot. I watched that show so much when I was a little kid, I started getting a theory established. I saw that when he took his shoes off at the last part of the show it seems as though he didn't have enough ime to put on his other pair of shoes. This gives me the impression that when he goes to the closet and out through the door at the end, he is walking out barefoot. Any thoughts?

Clearly, the teachings of Mr. Rogers have been lost on some people.

I don't think Mr.Rogers was gay. All he was, was a well-kept man who liked to teach children about life.

OMG...can anyone say grow up to all the people above who think the man was gay or a child molester...I'm not saying I "loved" Mr. Rogers or anything...I watched it occasionally as a child...but still you can tell the ones who didn't by the comments they left...and how did those kids turn out...still doing the fucking "oh he's gay..." thing...riight what year is it now...last time I checked it was 2005 not the 90's...

Of course, let's not forget the only reason to watch Mr. Rogers as an adult:

Lady Aberlin!!
