dollis1963, My kids always watched it. kindness and respect were virtues that were taught & encouraged. Some of kids' shows now are just loud junk.

There was a predecessor to the show. A local Pittsburgh show called The Children's Corner. Fred Rogers did all the same puppets behind the scenes, while a young lady named Josie Carrie talked to the puppets. I went with my girl scout troop to see it live.

Player #19176333, Fred Rogers mother knitted all his sweaters. I'm from Pittsburgh and met Fred Rogers numerous times. He was such a wonderful man. He always took the time to speak to you no matter how busy he was. He was just as nice as he was on his T.V. show. What a loss when he passed away.

I watched his show along with my children. We just loved it, and my children learned a lot because of Mr. Rogers. What a fine and kind human being he was. I wish today we had more educational shows like that.

In 1969, Mr. Rogers testified before a committee to save PBS from going off the air. President Nixon I wanted to cut the programs funding, and Mr. Rogers fought to keep the funding where it was. I watched him every day as a child. I miss him dearly.

Shared his name with his maternal grandfather, Fred McFeely. He used the family name on the show as his grandfather was very influential for respecting and liking people just as they are.

HipCat7942, I had that happen by accident. Left my crayons near an old radiator and melted them all. My art teacher called me a liar. Being called a liar when I little hurt especially when I was telling the truth.

The songs Fred Rogers wrote and sang for the kids were absolutely wonderful and most of us can remember and sing along to them. He was brilliant at teaching the children. He discussed every topic that needed to be talked about to the kids. Great, Great Man.
