I liked Mr. Rogers...but Lady Elaine creeped me out and Miss Kitty was super annoying. And Mr. Speedy Delivery...dude needed to cut back on the coffee...or coke...or whatever he was on. No one needed to get their delivery THAT speedily.
I've heard of this guy even though I don't really watch American television so I couldn't see his shows, he sounds like a seriously awesome guy though, he's pretty legendary on the internet from what I know.
Zombie, That is not true. Mr. Rogers was never in the military. One of my missions in life is to contradict the lies that silly emails perpetuate. And Mr. Rogers was from Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Mr. McFeely (a scary name if ever there was one) was named after little Freddie's grandpa.
He probably kicked the puppets around when no one was looking -- especially Daniel Striped Tiger. (mew mew) Then he'd sing "It's a fucked-up day in the neighborhood . . . "
He also began playing the piano at age 5, swam every morning, was a vegetarian and an ordained Presbyterian minister.
ReplyDeleteHe was a staple in this house when my kids were growing up.

ReplyDeleteI think I've heard of this guy!

ReplyDeleteIt'd be an irony if he couldn't see red.
ReplyDeletemy friend cant see green and he drives !!
ReplyDeleteMr. Rogers would not have approved of 2 girls, 1 cup.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he ever sang the blues?
ReplyDeleteI heard he was a sniper in Vietnam and has tattoos all over his arms which is why he wears those sweaters all the time, to cover them up.

Also, he's not wearing sweaters anymore. He died quite some time ago.
DeleteIts a lovely day in the neighbourhood a lovely day in the neighbourhood!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what he would have done if he didn't have the kids show!
He graduated from the seminary. He could have been a minister at a church, or he could have been a missionary. He saw the TV show as his mission.
DeleteI don't care that his sniper origin myth is pure BS, he will always be a first rate badass in my book!

DeleteWell this is cool!
ReplyDeleteI loved him and his show so very much.
