Just randomly thought about it and I had to watch it and it warms my cold, jaded, cynical 33 year old heart. Fred Rogers was such a treasure.

The piano playing was always great in the show and I'll always love the miniature neighborhood they made.

Probably the closest to incorruptible and pure that any person could ever be.

Fred Rogers was an ordained Presbyterian minster, but he only really "evangelized" via one song, that he stopped singing in the 60s, and specifically prefaced by mentioning that it's not universal.

In earlier times, the man would have been recognized as a prophet. We should still do that now.

Only Fred Rogers could drive plastic Hollywood to tears, just by asking everyone to think for a few seconds.

I can't recall ever watching Mister Rogers but I know I watched Mr. Dressup which is basically Canada's version of Mister Rogers.

Got to include his little speech to the senate here too.

You would think no one could possibly hate Fred Rogers, right?

Well, Fox News thinks hes evil.

Yeah I remember that. That was 10-15 years ago. They'd hate him even more today.

Didn't he sing a song about how boys are always boys and girls are always girls?

I think that could be problematic in today's culture.

No, that was The Kinks

Gender wasn't even the point of Mister Rogers's song. It was just half a verse.
