Would you like to live in Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood?

Okay here’s a thread, maybe one that will surpase my teletubbies one. What woujld do if you moved to Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood? Would you want to?

I don’t know, an old guy whose best friend was a talking rail car, and liked putting his hand up an elderly kings arse to make him talk? I think Id rather take my chances with Michael Jackson. What about you guys, by the way, the day i move to Michael’s neighborhood, is the day Hell throws an all out party to commense their being kicked out of Heaven, hosted by Pope Benedict XVI.

I thought his last name was Rogers.

You’re right, sorry. HEY you never said if you’d live there or not!

Someone who is allegedly 30 years old has nothing better to do than make threads about preschool programs? Interesting.

Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood is the cemetary now.

Little known fact, he was appauled by the thought of people being pied on TV.

Why would one be appalled at that?

Fred Rogers was a supporter of educational TV programming (educational as in character building). He despised the emptiness of shows such as Howdy Doody. He thought TV was condescending towards children, and he wanted to treat children as people. Mr. Rogers even admits to going into television because he hated its vapidness.

So, I reckon he was appalled by people being pied because it’s so… juvenile. He truly believed TV could and should be used for a higher cause, not just sitcoms and puppets. Being pied in the face basically stood against everything Mr. Rogers strove for.

That is totally awesome! Thank you for informing and enlightening me, 984. hug

I got that info from the great bathroom reader.

yes…i agree. perhaps he has some underlying childhood trauma involving preschool programs.

Perhaps he wants us to be his neighbor…

perhaps y’all shouldn’t troll. Closing preemptively and because the thread isn’t very relevant.

He should despise Howdy Doody because he is by far the most terrifying thing ever conceived.
