💛💛💛💛 Mr. Rogers was my Surrogate Dad. In the silence, I thought of my Uncle. He took me in when my parents abandoned me, and he was gay. Mr. Rogers taught me that it was OK to love my uncle just the way he was, because even though he was the only one taking care of me, I was still told by other family members that he was a filthy sinner. I wouldn't be the empathetic helper I am today without Fred Rogers, may he RIP.
Hearing him say “ I like you just the way you are” brings tears to my eyes. He believed in me.. he believed you too. Born in 1969 and grew up watching him . He was a blessing for us all. Rest in peace❤
Short Story I'm recovering from some series Health issues. I Haven't worked in months. This video gave me hope. I got a second interview tomorrow... Please pray and wish me luck. I'm crying with nothing but tears of joy
I was raised in the 70's & 80's in a household & around many extended family members where racial slurs & bigoted comments were the norm. I have always given Mr. Rogers full credit for my own desire to get to know all that I can about "different" people and their lived experience. Fred Rogers taught me to be open, kind, compassionate, empathetic, imaginative, inventive, and curious. Considering the opinions of those I was raised around I shutter to think at who I might be today had Mr. Rogers not been my childhood friend💛
same, but I was raised in the 60s and 70s. racial slurs were the norm, when you are raised around it you dont give it a second thought. Now that I have age and experience I see how stupid racism truly is.
I think it's a very real possibility that many of us may have turned out very differently if it hadn't been for the influence that Mr. Rogers had on us at such an impressionable time in our lives. I can't think of any other real person (not character), that's so widely loved and cherished by an entire generation+.💛
I am in my 50s and I grew up with Mr Rogers. I watched his show for so many years. He made me feel so safe and special and now when I look back and see his gentle nature it brings tears to my eyes
May 22 is the 143rd day of the year (in non-leap years) and is "143 Day" in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania dedicated to spreading kindness in his honor.
In my 10 seconds I thought about my grandson who is 9 now and when he came along i knew that i needed to do more so he doesn't have the same struggles as me when i was raising my children 🥰
I watched Mr Rogers Neighborhood just last night with my 10 year old daughter. I still enjoy it when I need some calm and quiet in life. I remember watching the Jeff Erlanger episodes as a kid. I had a bad overbite, glasses and was bullied a lot as a kid. Watching them sing together made me feel like I was still worth loving. And as a middle child, at home I was mostly ignored. There was something about Mr Rogers that just jumps out and grabs you. He had a gift of making every viewer feel like they really were special,and like he really did care about me. I still believe he really did. I genuinely in my heart believe that he loved each and every child.
He really did mean it, "I like you just the way you are", for every child. Every child felt it in our hearts. He did so much good. I hope his afterlife is magical and beautiful.
You’re around my parents age! They were born in the 60s as well. I was born in 89 and Mr. Rogers was a BIG part of my childhood. It was the show that made me the HAPPIEST. I wasn’t in 8th grade when I found out in class one day that he passed away. I remember the entire class let out a loud, audible “awwww nooo!” and though I wasn’t the “class clown” I teared up like a baby Lol. Mr. Rogers made ALL of us feel special. He was almost like a 2nd father for a lot of us! Or maybe even the ONLY father figure some people had! RIP to a true angel of God
This has made me so emotional watching. Yesterday was the anniversary of my dads passing. Seeing Mr Rodgers and his kind soft demenor made me think of my childhood when Mr Rodgers would give his gentle messages. I was an anxious child and his soft tone made me feel safe as did my dad. My dad had the same warm and kind spirit that you don't have to be this buff macho guy to be a true man. Your kind and gentle spirit shows way more courage to give kids their own voices no matter what color,, creed or national origin. He was an American treasure and I am glad you have discovered his magic. It doesn't matter that you are younger and he has long passed his message is eternal. I am in my fifties and listening to his messages takes me right back to my childhood where for a moment I felt safe in this insane world we live in! xx
Born 1980 so i was lucky to catch him and grow up with him. I can say i cried heavy when i found out he passed away. Guy was the definition of kindness.
Super Human Legend HERO THE REAL GOAT So many was to describe Mr.Rogers. All I know is even though he has passed along, the world can ALWAYS use more Mr.Rogers.
I believe watching Mr Rogers Neighborhood is a good thing for all ages to sharpen our best human skills. Compassion, empathy, and the like. He was the best example of the best of humanity. We are lucky that he ever existed, let alone a time when his recordings could be shared with all people regardless of when they live. 💛
Mr Rodgers took us in a few "field trips " to see how things were made. I remember an episode from when I was very little showing how peanut butter is made and put into jars in a factory. I always liked learning things.
When Mr. Rogers gave that last message, I dropped everything and everyone just to see what he said. Not one of my family or friends understood, I didn’t care. He was my friend even as a young adult and I needed to hear him. I cried. Please do watch an episode of Mr. Rogers. We will watch you get the love from Mr. Rogers and enjoy it all the more.
He was really good at talking to kids in a way that they could understand, without talking down to them. And he could take explain things that are scary to kids in a way that was truthful yet not completely terrifying. He made things feel manageable when you were too young to have control over anything happening around you.
See if you can find the episode where he took us on a tour of his set, showing what his "house" really looked like and introducing us to the production people, showing the piano where the backgroud music was played. It's amazing.
Mr. Rogers ... ❤❤❤ I thought of my Mom and Daddy - and Mr. Rogers - in my 10 seconds of silence. I'm ADHD, what can I say? My mind goes in 3 different directions at once, when I'm asked to think of one thing. Lol. Have you seen the Mr. Rogers movie with Tom Hanks? It's wonderful and you will love him even more. Tom Hanks did a great job in his portrayal. It's well worth watching.
I'm 45 and I grew up with him. These were my childhood lessons and the ones I got from my parents were parallels. I honestly believe we need more of his energy today than ever before. Love that you're checking him out and that his messages resonate with you. Much love.
I was blessed with no divorce or death but Mr. Rogers helped me to feel for my friends who might be. Im 8-10-70 and cried when I heard Mr. Rodgers died.
Jay, I think your friendly and caring personality would make you a perfect, modern-day Mr Rogers. Consider this... contact the BBC or whatever similar public agency could create a show for you to star in... A present-day, British revival of a new Mr Rogers. You'd be perfect to do that! Visualize it! It could happen for you! 💛
Mr Rogers taught me that EVERYONE was the same , from a very early age . HE did that . I love him like my Family. Always & Forever.. I praise you for watching these videos & learning about one of the most important people to ever exist in my opinion. . Please do an entire episode . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨💫🤍
To this very day, if I talk about this man too long, I will be crying. I love him and miss him so deeply. He was the grandfather I never had. He means so much to me. I cherish the memories that 4 year old me made with him in my living room when I was feeling so alone. He was so important to me. Oh gosh, now my eyes are watering...😭
I thought about my mother, who is still alive and my best friend. When my brother was 3, and I was 4, my father stole all of our money leaving use nearly homeless. She had just gone through drug and alcohol rehab. She managed to find us a place to live, and even though she was getting help from the government to pay for food, worked three jobs and raised us both alone. The most recent thing that she did was in Oct. when my fathers family called us to tell us that he was dieing. She got on the phone with him (he could hear her, but couldn’t speak) and told him that she forgave him for everything! Not only is she beautiful, and humble, shes also the most forgiving person I’ve ever known. The only person I can say that I truly look up to! 💛💛💛
3:41 Oh my goodness! Immediate tears are flooding.😭I will always love him. I’m so grateful you are experiencing him across the pond in your neighborhood.💛🏘️💛
Mr Rogers spoke from a true heart of love with no other agenda and all ages are touched by that! He speaks truth in a way that anyone can understand, relate to and feel heard.❤❤❤
Mr.Rodges car was stolen once.When the thief/thieves found out that it was HE'S car they bought it back with a note apologizing saying if they knew it was his car they wouldn't have took it.😊 However they did take his director's chair w/ his name on it
Yes 💛 With each of these reactions it’s been heartwarming to see that what we got from watching Mr Rogers as kids connects with you too even 20+ years later. That’s a powerful lesson about the energy we put out there & the ripple effects it has.
I was born in 1965 and watched from the beginning of his PBS era. I remember that crayon segment to this day. It was such a chill soothing pace. I adored Mr. Roger’s so very much.
I’m glad you discovered Mr. Rogers, I was wishing more people would know him. Also you got the resemblance of cam newton. Keep reacting to Mr Rogers, and Bob Ross was another Gem you need to check out.
I was born in 89 and Mr. Rogers was a BIG part of my childhood as well! I actually teared up in class when I was in the 8th grade the day I found out he passed away, ALOT of us teared up that day.
💛 my music teacher, whose name was Michael Lovejoy! He was young 24 years old and taught me how to read music, play my instrument and care for it and expanded my horizons to different international musicians in all genres, and how music was the best gateway to the human heart and mind, and when it was done with Love from your spirit through your instrument would help change the world by reminding the human spirit that it has a value and impact. Mr. Lovejoy died at the age of 26 years oldof cancer. He had had cancer since he was 19 yet showed up every day to teach us and speak with us exactly like Mr. Rogers.
Its still one of my favorite all time things seeing him meet Koko the sign language speaking gorilla. She watched his show and took his shoes off in their meeting bc of how she is used to seeing him. They fanned out over each other. Its wild that he got the money increased by being the same Mr Rogers he was through the TV to us, but to the surly senator. It's very meta. #flexer 💛
💛 My Grandparents and my Great Great Aunt Polly helped me so much growing up. They held me up when my divorced parents were too wrapped up in themselves and their partners to support me. A bright spot is they are much better grandparents than they were parents.
I was lucky enough to have a Mr. Roger’s-type individual in my life while growing up. His influence on me and so many others was invaluable. RIP Mr. Bill Richards ❤
You can also check out Captain Kangaroo, or the Friendly Giant, if you want to stick with children's shows💛 We always move through grief at our own pace, thanks for sharing 💛 Thanks for giving me my daily dose of tears welling 😊💛 As all my close family are not on the earth, i thought of them💛 and you, for giving me the moment ❤ Mr Rogers would be proud 💛 ✌️🌞💕
That is so awesome, how many of us came together for 10 still moments and all the good thoughts at one. Time about so many. Iam 65 ol gal in Grantspass Oregon. You are super awesome to have brought us all together to share that moment in time that moment in our day. Your very cool!
I was introduced to Mr. Rogers when I was about 3 (I'm 45) by my mom (71), who also grew up watching him; he was doing The Children's Corner at the time she was introduced. My kids stream the episodes and they love him. He's has been and still is an important part of our lives. Whenever I'm dealing with something, and need reassurance, I always turn to Fred Rogers.
I've enjoyed all of your Mr. Rogers reaction videos! It's so wonderful to watch these clips and hear him talk again. I didn't watch him every day, but I remember how comforting just the opening scenes were, with him walking in and putting on his sweater and singing. I felt like I was ready to settle in and spend time with a friend for 30 minutes. It was so genius of him to understand how much kids needed consistency. 💛💛
I absolutely love you. I was sitting here, trying to figure out how to say that, without it being weird, but i came to the conclusion that i dont care. I know the impact that Mr Rogers had on me and soooo many others, over the many years of watching his show. You are being impacted just as much, but in an Incredibly smaller amount of time! I cant imagine. I know i would feel overwhelmed. Hugs to you. I know i need one. And love to you. Thank you for sharing your reactions.
Im honestly glad to be on the older side of millenial where i got to grow up with the reruns of mr rogers before they eventually got pulled off the air.
I thought of my grandparents. They were my role models for what it meant to be a good person. Though I had my share of fuck ups along the way, I always knew they loved me. Sometimes they were disappointed in me for what I did. I always hated that. I never wanted to let them down. I just had a lot of anger and sadness because of the abuse and bullying I had been taking and unresolved trauma from being raped at 6 years old. So, I had trouble processing my feelings. It makes me wish I had listened to Mr. Rogers more as a kid. Even written him if I could have found out the studio address. 💛 I am glad that you have been doing this deep dive into Mr. Rogers. I couldn't choose one Iconic moment from when I grew up. Mostly because I am not sure if I ever saw some of them or not as my memory of that time isn't so good. I want to think the crayon episode and fish dying episode were during that time period, but I honestly can't remember. Preschool - 1st grade, it was acceptable to watch Mr. Rogers when I grew up and where I grew up. Starting in 2nd grade, if people found out you still watched it, it could get you beaten up. So, for that year...I had to pretend I didn't ever watch it. By third grade, I knew I couldn't do it anymore. To much risk with my younger brother starting kindergarten. He had a mouth on him. By 5th grade you had to be anti-Mr.Rogers and make fun of the show. If you came out in favor of the show, you would get beaten up during recess. By the time I was an adult and thought about watching him to see how he was doing, he was retiring. When 9/11 happened, I did tune in as I found out he was going to speak on the matter. I cried like a baby during it. It was a chance to work through even my emotions about it. You didn't need to be a kid for that day. As for episodes of his show, I don't know if it true or not, I never thought to look it up, but someone said in the comments on another reaction video, that his entire series was on TH-cam. I don't know if it is true or not. I will be looking though. If it isn't, I hope PBS would do it. People should get to enjoy his work again. I know they have continued on with Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood for the kids at PBS, but I would love to see Fred Rogers again. He was just a special person. Not to lionize him. I know he wouldn't want that. He was though. He wanted to make the world a better place, and while I don't know how successful he was at it or not, I hope with many of us, he was.
He was on Public Broadcasting so he would be very upset your complete reaction to an episode of his show got blocked by YT.💛 Thought of my parents who both have passed 💛
I appreciate you doing the 10 seconds to think of how grateful we are for special people in our lives. I did it along with you. I never watched Mr. Roger's as a kid, but he's inspiring me now as a 34 year old. RIP and if anyone deserves a nice spot in heaven, it's Fred.
I'm 47 now, and I make zero apologies, nor am I ashamed, that i still watch Mr. Rogers, every Sunday on PBS. I started watching him when I was around 3. I loved all his songs, but my fave was "It's you, I like. Not the things you wear. Not the way you do your hair, but it's you I like. The way you are right now. The way down deep inside you. Not the things that hide you. Not your toys. They're just beside you. " How gotdamn beautiful and powerful is that song. RIP Mr. Rogers. We love you.
Mr. Rogers impacted my childhood in a calming and beautiful way. My parents divorced in the sixties. Divorce wasn’t as common back then. My childhood was chaotic. Mr. Rogers had a very special way of teaching children and making a child feel special!
His fascination with the every day things we use, his willingness to try something new, and the way he could speak to your soul. An unequaled person. I try to carry his messages every day.
My kids loved and still love him and they are in their 40's. I was very ill earlier in my life and could have died from a ruptured appendix. I remember comforting my self by thinking "Mr. Rogers cares about me" I told him this in a letter and he wrote back to me on his Trolley stationary. Things are so scrary in the world now. Look for the helpers. Be a helper!
💛💛💛💛 During the moment of silence, I thought about my family. My family and I love and support each other, and for that, I am grateful. And Mr. Rogers had such an impact on my sister and me, when we were kids. In fact, I remember one time my mom, my sister, and I were my mom's best friend's Christmas party, and her husband said that he didn't care for him. I distinctly remember my sister defending him by saying that he was so friendly. And he was. At that time, I couldn't imagine anybody not liking him, and to this day, I still can't. He helped me to understand the world so much better. May he rest in peace.
Both of my kids grew up with Mr. Rogers. They loved the show. I asked them once why the loved Mr. Rogers and they said, “he’s talking to me”. They thought he was only talking directly to them. They are both in their 40s now with children of their own. I miss those innocent years.
💛 My dad passed away almost 10 years ago now, but I think of him so often and want to tell him about things that are going on in my life and in my family. I miss him tremendously, but he taught me so much -- he taught me how to be strong and kind and gentle. He was in so many ways the most considerate, giving person I've ever known.
This made me get teary-eyed. I used to watch Mr. Rogers every day as a child. He had a way of explaining complicated things in a way that children could understand. He might be the reason why I didn't get terribly upset when my parents divorced because I understood that they both still loved me and would be there for me.
10:36 my mother & my husband. My late mother was a strong willed, loving, caring, fierce woman who didn't let anyone push her around. She was a lesbian & a single mother. For a woman born & raised in the Bible belt, that's like throwing kerosene into a wildfire. A lot of Southerners, especially the elders, still hold to that strict, ridged, narrow-minded, so called "Christian" way of thinking. As bad as it still is today, it's not nearly as bad as it was in the 1960's. As a result, she faced & overcame a lot of hardships. Lord knows she wasn't perfect, but she deeply loved & was extremely protective of her only child. She knew who she & proudly walked with her head held high. Because of her, I'm far more open-minded & accepting of others. I have friends who are of different races, ethnicities & folks of the LGBTQ community. The second person is my late husband. We loved each other deeply & had a profound effect on each other. The night he was killed, part of me died with him. The 2nd anniversary of his death is this month. Both of them made me a better person & I greatly miss them.
The positive side of social media is its ability to introduce someone like yourself to someone as wonderfully impactful as Mr. Rogers.
Watching old Mr. Rogers clips doesn't make me teary eyed... but watching young people watch old Mr. Rogers clips?
Yeah... that gets me.🥹
I'm 59 years old and I still watch Mr. Rogers on occasion.
It's not only for kids.
It's also for old "kids" like me.😊
Me too😁
I was struggling with depression. Mr. Roger's was a bright spot that got me through some dark days. I'm 58 by the way.
Me too.
Same. 55 yrs old and still find Mr Rogers soothing, healing and. A kind soul . I also watch the original muppet show now and again- I loved that❤
Sometimes this world is so harsh I need Mr. Rogers again.
💛💛💛💛
Mr. Rogers was my Surrogate Dad. In the silence, I thought of my Uncle. He took me in when my parents abandoned me, and he was gay.

I'm so glad that you had your uncle to take care of you when you were alone. God bless!
It doesn't matter that you didn't grow up with him. He is still having an impact on you. 😊 much love ✌️
Hearing him say “ I like you just the way you are” brings tears to my eyes. He believed in me.. he believed you too. Born in 1969 and grew up watching him . He was a blessing for us all. Rest in peace❤
Short Story I'm recovering from some series Health issues. I Haven't worked in months. This video gave me hope. I got a second interview tomorrow... Please pray and wish me luck. I'm crying with nothing but tears of joy
Best of luck you!
GOOD LUCK!! YOU will find SOMETHING: SOON!! ❤❤❤❤
Good luck my friend,
a door will open for you, it always does if you want it bad enough.
Get it friend
Praying for you to do well in that interview, and to have all the success in life!
I grew up on Mr Rogers early on. I don't mind admitting I think my childhood was made more awesome by his kindness and instruction.
💜 Mr Rogers was a treasure.
He's probably why Gen X is the most mentally stable generation. I think his influence was subconsciously absorbed.
@@amydameron3928 I Totally Agree✨☑️
Someone once said he was before his time. I told them, No it's always his time!
Well said!
I was raised in the 70's & 80's in a household & around many extended family members where racial slurs & bigoted comments were the norm. I have always given Mr. Rogers full credit for my own desire to get to know all that I can about "different" people and their lived experience. Fred Rogers taught me to be open, kind, compassionate, empathetic, imaginative, inventive, and curious.
Considering the opinions of those I was raised around I shutter to think at who I might be today had Mr. Rogers not been my childhood friend💛
✌️
same, but I was raised in the 60s and 70s.
racial slurs were the norm, when you are raised around it you dont give it a second thought.
Now that I have age and experience I see how stupid racism truly is.
@@KevinTitus-z6h Same 🥲💯
The world needs more Mr Rogers..
I think it's a very real possibility that many of us may have turned out very differently if it hadn't been for the influence that Mr. Rogers had on us at such an impressionable time in our lives. I can't think of any other real person (not character), that's so widely loved and cherished by an entire generation+.💛

I always thought Mr. Rogers reminded me of my Dad. While going through family genealogy, I found out he was a distant cousin on my Dad's side.
In my 10 seconds I thought about my grandson who is 9 now and when he came along i knew that i needed to do more so he doesn't have the same struggles as me when i was raising my children 🥰
I love that you love him! Early Gen Xer here, and your diving into this wonderful rabbit hole made me subscribe. Yes, he was that amazing!💛
Same here!

Born 1980 so i was lucky to catch him and grow up with him.
I can say i cried heavy when i found out he passed away. Guy was the definition of kindness.
mr. Rogers was the only father i knew until my late 30s. this man will ALWAYS hold a place in my heart. he literally shaped my moral compass.
Super Human
Legend
HERO
THE REAL GOAT
So many was to describe Mr.Rogers. All I know is even though he has passed along, the world can ALWAYS use more Mr.Rogers.
Please watch an entire episode .. ⭐️✨⭐️✨💫
I loved the episode where he took us to factories to learn how to make stuff. The crayon episode was one of my favorites. ☺️
Right?.😊
Ain't gonna lie I cried in those 10 seconds with you 🥹
The entire video
Yeah, I'm a 57 year old father of three crying because I miss him.
He made the world a better place.
I believe watching Mr Rogers Neighborhood is a good thing for all ages to sharpen our best human skills. Compassion, empathy, and the like. He was the best example of the best of humanity. We are lucky that he ever existed, let alone a time when his recordings could be shared with all people regardless of when they live. 💛
I wear red and blue hoodies in honor of him every time I think of him. He was a great memory for me during my childhood❤😊
I grew up with Mr. Rodgers and I love to see younger generations discovering him.
Mr Rogers was wonderful.
Mr Rodgers took us in a few "field trips " to see how things were made. I remember an episode from when I was very little showing how peanut butter is made and put into jars in a factory. I always liked learning things.
🌸 he was my only positive adult in my life throughout my childhood... I have no words for how much he meant to me.
When Mr. Rogers gave that last message, I dropped everything and everyone just to see what he said. Not one of my family or friends understood, I didn’t care. He was my friend even as a young adult and I needed to hear him. I cried. Please do watch an episode of Mr. Rogers. We will watch you get the love from Mr. Rogers and enjoy it all the more.

I think we all cried that day, and have been mourning the loss every day since.
I did the 10 seconds with you. What a nice little tribute ❤
I’m 42 & mister rogers is everything!

Yes to the flashback! I want to watch him again. I seriously feel joy seeing him again. Not many people can do that just seeing them.
To this very day, if I talk about this man too long, I will be crying. I love him and miss him so deeply. He was the grandfather I never had. He means so much to me. I cherish the memories that 4 year old me made with him in my living room when I was feeling so alone. He was so important to me. Oh gosh, now my eyes are watering...😭
I thought about my mother, who is still alive and my best friend. When my brother was 3, and I was 4, my father stole all of our money leaving use nearly homeless. She had just gone through drug and alcohol rehab. She managed to find us a place to live, and even though she was getting help from the government to pay for food, worked three jobs and raised us both alone. The most recent thing that she did was in Oct. when my fathers family called us to tell us that he was dieing. She got on the phone with him (he could hear her, but couldn’t speak) and told him that she forgave him for everything! Not only is she beautiful, and humble, shes also the most forgiving person I’ve ever known. The only person I can say that I truly look up to! 💛💛💛
That is a wonderful thing that your mother did, not just in forgiving your father, but in showing you how to forgive him. 💛
3:41 Oh my goodness! Immediate tears are flooding.😭I will always love him. I’m so grateful you are experiencing him across the pond in your neighborhood.💛🏘️💛
Everyone loved Fred Rogers....he was just wonderful.
Full of wonder = wonderful. Yeah, he definitely was.
HE WAS THE BEST!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I needed that man in my life, and I'm glad he was there. He was so important for many of us.
Mr Rogers spoke from a true heart of love with no other agenda and all ages are touched by that! He speaks truth in a way that anyone can understand, relate to and feel heard.❤❤❤
Mr.Rodges car was stolen once.When the thief/thieves found out that it was HE'S car they bought it back with a note apologizing saying if they knew it was his car they wouldn't have took it.😊 However they did take his director's chair w/ his name on it
Yes 💛 With each of these reactions it’s been heartwarming to see that what we got from watching Mr Rogers as kids connects with you too even 20+ years later. That’s a powerful lesson about the energy we put out there & the ripple effects it has.
I was born in 1965 and watched from the beginning of his PBS era. I remember that crayon segment to this day. It was such a chill soothing pace. I adored Mr. Roger’s so very much.
Yes I'd love to see one of his episodes. He kept an eye on us when our parents didn't. You feel it cause it's Mr. Roger's! He was 1 in a billion ❤❤
He was everything to us as kids
I’m glad you discovered Mr. Rogers, I was wishing more people would know him. Also you got the resemblance of cam newton. Keep reacting to Mr Rogers, and Bob Ross was another Gem you need to check out.
I was born in 1968. 😊 Our childhoods were like no other.
May 4😊
I was born in 89 and Mr. Rogers was a BIG part of my childhood as well! I actually teared up in class when I was in the 8th grade the day I found out he passed away, ALOT of us teared up that day.

💛 my music teacher, whose name was Michael Lovejoy! He was young 24 years old and taught me how to read music, play my instrument and care for it and expanded my horizons to different international musicians in all genres, and how music was the best gateway to the human heart and mind, and when it was done with Love from your spirit through your instrument would help change the world by reminding the human spirit that it has a value and impact. Mr. Lovejoy died at the age of 26 years oldof cancer. He had had cancer since he was 19 yet showed up every day to teach us and speak with us exactly like Mr. Rogers.
Its still one of my favorite all time things seeing him meet Koko the sign language speaking gorilla. She watched his show and took his shoes off in their meeting bc of how she is used to seeing him. They fanned out over each other.
Its wild that he got the money increased by being the same Mr Rogers he was through the TV to us, but to the surly senator. It's very meta. #flexer 💛
💛 My Grandparents and my Great Great Aunt Polly helped me so much growing up. They held me up when my divorced parents were too wrapped up in themselves and their partners to support me. A bright spot is they are much better grandparents than they were parents.
We need a new Mr. Rogers for today ❤
Mr. Rogers has pamphlets in funeral homes to help explain death to children. It helped me explain my father’s death to my children.
I was lucky enough to have a Mr. Roger’s-type individual in my life while growing up. His influence on me and so many others was invaluable. RIP Mr. Bill Richards ❤
I loved him and miss him. I am glad you have gotten a chance to witness his magic. Love to you. 💛
You can also check out Captain Kangaroo, or the Friendly Giant, if you want to stick with children's shows💛
We always move through grief at our own pace, thanks for sharing 💛
Thanks for giving me my daily dose of tears welling 😊💛
As all my close family are not on the earth, i thought of them💛 and you, for giving me the moment ❤
Mr Rogers would be proud 💛
✌️🌞💕
That is so awesome, how many of us came together for 10 still moments and all the good thoughts at one. Time about so many.
Iam 65 ol gal in Grantspass Oregon. You are super awesome to have brought us all together to share that moment in time that moment in our day. Your very cool!
Absolutely love your reactions.
My favorite episode of Mr. Rodgers was the one where he showed how peanut butter was made .💛
Making the crayons was the one I remember most and my favorite.
I was introduced to Mr. Rogers when I was about 3 (I'm 45) by my mom (71), who also grew up watching him; he was doing The Children's Corner at the time she was introduced. My kids stream the episodes and they love him. He's has been and still is an important part of our lives. Whenever I'm dealing with something, and need reassurance, I always turn to Fred Rogers.
We trusted him, we believed he really did care.
He never let us down.
Have you ever heard of Bob Ross?
I've enjoyed all of your Mr. Rogers reaction videos! It's so wonderful to watch these clips and hear him talk again. I didn't watch him every day, but I remember how comforting just the opening scenes were, with him walking in and putting on his sweater and singing. I felt like I was ready to settle in and spend time with a friend for 30 minutes. It was so genius of him to understand how much kids needed consistency. 💛💛
You need to react to a whole episode. Any random episode and you will be so full of happy.
I absolutely love you. I was sitting here, trying to figure out how to say that, without it being weird, but i came to the conclusion that i dont care. I know the impact that Mr Rogers had on me and soooo many others, over the many years of watching his show. You are being impacted just as much, but in an Incredibly smaller amount of time! I cant imagine. I know i would feel overwhelmed. Hugs to you. I know i need one. And love to you. Thank you for sharing your reactions.
Im honestly glad to be on the older side of millenial where i got to grow up with the reruns of mr rogers before they eventually got pulled off the air.
I thought of my grandparents. They were my role models for what it meant to be a good person. Though I had my share of fuck ups along the way, I always knew they loved me. Sometimes they were disappointed in me for what I did. I always hated that. I never wanted to let them down. I just had a lot of anger and sadness because of the abuse and bullying I had been taking and unresolved trauma from being raped at 6 years old.
So, I had trouble processing my feelings.
It makes me wish I had listened to Mr. Rogers more as a kid. Even written him if I could have found out the studio address.
💛
I am glad that you have been doing this deep dive into Mr. Rogers.
I couldn't choose one Iconic moment from when I grew up.
Mostly because I am not sure if I ever saw some of them or not as my memory of that time isn't so good.
I want to think the crayon episode and fish dying episode were during that time period, but I honestly can't remember.
Preschool - 1st grade, it was acceptable to watch Mr. Rogers when I grew up and where I grew up. Starting in 2nd grade, if people found out you still watched it, it could get you beaten up. So, for that year...I had to pretend I didn't ever watch it. By third grade, I knew I couldn't do it anymore. To much risk with my younger brother starting kindergarten. He had a mouth on him.
By 5th grade you had to be anti-Mr.Rogers and make fun of the show. If you came out in favor of the show, you would get beaten up during recess.
By the time I was an adult and thought about watching him to see how he was doing, he was retiring. When 9/11 happened, I did tune in as I found out he was going to speak on the matter. I cried like a baby during it. It was a chance to work through even my emotions about it. You didn't need to be a kid for that day.
As for episodes of his show, I don't know if it true or not, I never thought to look it up, but someone said in the comments on another reaction video, that his entire series was on TH-cam. I don't know if it is true or not. I will be looking though.
If it isn't, I hope PBS would do it. People should get to enjoy his work again.
I know they have continued on with Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood for the kids at PBS, but I would love to see Fred Rogers again. He was just a special person. Not to lionize him. I know he wouldn't want that. He was though. He wanted to make the world a better place, and while I don't know how successful he was at it or not, I hope with many of us, he was.
He was on Public Broadcasting so he would be very upset your complete reaction to an episode of his show got blocked by YT.💛 Thought of my parents who both have passed 💛
That is so very true.
I appreciate you doing the 10 seconds to think of how grateful we are for special people in our lives. I did it along with you.
I never watched Mr. Roger's as a kid, but he's inspiring me now as a 34 year old.
RIP and if anyone deserves a nice spot in heaven, it's Fred.
I'm 47 now, and I make zero apologies, nor am I ashamed, that i still watch Mr. Rogers, every Sunday on PBS. I started watching him when I was around 3.
I loved all his songs, but my fave was "It's you, I like. Not the things you wear. Not the way you do your hair, but it's you I like. The way you are right now. The way down deep inside you. Not the things that hide you. Not your toys. They're just beside you. " How gotdamn beautiful and powerful is that song.
RIP Mr. Rogers. We love you.
💛. I thought about my dad who died day after I graduated, and my grandmother who died 5 days after my 10th birthday 😢. He was just a great man ❤
Every time I see the clip of him with koko, it makes me cry 😢 koko passed in 2018
I cant think of anything as positive as Mr Roger's. Helped everyone become better people. His kindness and curiosity spread to his millions of viewers
💛💛💪🏽 Mr. Rogers is the best
Mr. Rogers impacted my childhood in a calming and beautiful way. My parents divorced in the sixties. Divorce wasn’t as common back then. My childhood was chaotic. Mr. Rogers had a very special way of teaching children and making a child feel special!
Nothing wrong with loving Mr. Roger’s. M 57 and still love him. He taught me kindness and being myself. ❤❤❤❤
How to shame a genx-er: "be the person Mr Rogers knows you to be"
Thanks to you and Mr. R for reminding me of the good in this world.
His fascination with the every day things we use, his willingness to try something new, and the way he could speak to your soul. An unequaled person. I try to carry his messages every day.
This man taught me way more about being a decent human than my parents did. I'm 42, and i still love Mr Rogers like a father.
Mr. Rogers is an American icon. He touched millions of lives.
My kids loved and still love him and they are in their 40's. I was very ill earlier in my life and could have died from a ruptured appendix. I remember comforting my self by thinking "Mr. Rogers cares about me" I told him this in a letter and he wrote back to me on his Trolley stationary. Things are so scrary in the world now. Look for the helpers. Be a helper!
💛💛💛💛 During the moment of silence, I thought about my family. My family and I love and support each other, and for that, I am grateful. And Mr. Rogers had such an impact on my sister and me, when we were kids. In fact, I remember one time my mom, my sister, and I were my mom's best friend's Christmas party, and her husband said that he didn't care for him. I distinctly remember my sister defending him by saying that he was so friendly. And he was. At that time, I couldn't imagine anybody not liking him, and to this day, I still can't. He helped me to understand the world so much better. May he rest in peace.
WGBH Boston, Massachusetts, thank You, so many touched...
Both of my kids grew up with Mr. Rogers. They loved the show. I asked them once why the loved Mr. Rogers and they said, “he’s talking to me”. They thought he was only talking directly to them. They are both in their 40s now with children of their own. I miss those innocent years.
💛 My dad passed away almost 10 years ago now, but I think of him so often and want to tell him about things that are going on in my life and in my family. I miss him tremendously, but he taught me so much -- he taught me how to be strong and kind and gentle. He was in so many ways the most considerate, giving person I've ever known.
This made me get teary-eyed. I used to watch Mr. Rogers every day as a child. He had a way of explaining complicated things in a way that children could understand. He might be the reason why I didn't get terribly upset when my parents divorced because I understood that they both still loved me and would be there for me.
10:36 my mother & my husband. My late mother was a strong willed, loving, caring, fierce woman who didn't let anyone push her around. She was a lesbian & a single mother. For a woman born & raised in the Bible belt, that's like throwing kerosene into a wildfire. A lot of Southerners, especially the elders, still hold to that strict, ridged, narrow-minded, so called "Christian" way of thinking. As bad as it still is today, it's not nearly as bad as it was in the 1960's. As a result, she faced & overcame a lot of hardships. Lord knows she wasn't perfect, but she deeply loved & was extremely protective of her only child. She knew who she & proudly walked with her head held high. Because of her, I'm far more open-minded & accepting of others. I have friends who are of different races, ethnicities & folks of the LGBTQ community. The second person is my late husband. We loved each other deeply & had a profound effect on each other. The night he was killed, part of me died with him. The 2nd anniversary of his death is this month. Both of them made me a better person & I greatly miss them.
I loved the crayon episode ❤
