I read a story where a man was robbing a store, and the store owner said “you’re not being the neighbor Mr. Rogers believes you can be.” The robber then paused and said “that’s harsh, man.” and left. I dunno if that story is true, but knowing this man’s influence? It’s possible.
I've heard that & similar said quite a few times randomly to people - adults & kids alike - who were acting up & it never didn't have an impact. Sometimes it looked like the person on the receiving end got slapped! This story is completely believable to me.
@@jacd751The thing is Mr Rogers would sit the person down and talk to them about what they do with the mad inside them. That person would absolutely leave believing that they could be better.
There's a well known anecdote where some thieves once stole a car and unbeknownst to them, that car belonged to Fred Rogers. When they found out who the car belonged to, they felt so ashamed that they returned the car to Mr. Rogers along with an Apology note.
I never had any grandparents (they all passed before I was born, my grandpas passed several decades before I was born) so I kind of adopted them everywhere I could. I absolutely include Fred Rogers as one of my many unofficially adopted grandpas. ❤
Mr. Rogers also brought a kiddie pool on set and put his feet in it, then invited his friend to join him who was black. At the time swimming pools were still basically segregated in the US through public vs private. He caught a lot of flack for that, but didn't care.
The lessons he taught are timeless. Being a kind person really isn't that hard. He was a great person who was way ahead of his time. Truly the best of us
You should watch the entire clip of him speakinh with the US Senate. He was there to ask them to reconsider cutting the funding to to PBS. 6 minutes is all it took for him to change the course of children's television. It began with the committee not really being interested. It ended with them hanging on his words and Fred walking away with $20 million to fund the entirety of PBS. Absolute LEGEND. 💗
There's a lady that goes to my church who used to work behind the scenes on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. She says that Mr. Rogers was just what you saw on TV. He was always kind and patient, and always cared about anyone he met.
Mr. Rogers reactions have been popping up in my recommendations lately. I always watch them. And I cry all the way through. I'm sure there are other's who have said this in the last month, but Mr. Rogers was a national treasure. Only the other children who grew up watching him can truly understand what he meant to us. You can watch these videos and see how wholesome he is and the good messages he taught. But can you imagine the impact that it had on all the children? All day everyday we were judged for the things we did, the way we looked, things beyond our control. But with Mr. Rogers there was never judgement, only acceptance and love. He never met me but I still felt loved by him.
@@TheDylls My costume bin is my tickle trunk, for sure (though, umm, that does sound a bit weird if you never watched Mr. Dressup, I suppose). Both of them were awesome people.
Same - everything was broken in our family and home but Mr Rogers changing his sweater and feeding his fish was the structure I craved and he provided! ♥️❤️♥️❤️
I love that Kevin Smith puts Betty Aberlin who played Lady Aberlin on “Mister Rogers' Neighborhood” in most of his movies. If you’ve never noticed it, go back and watch the roles she’s done in his movies. She’s been in 6 different ones, starting with Dogma.
When I was in preschool, I would spent my afternoons at my grandparents house after they picked me up. When the Mister Rogers's show ended my grandad would come home from work shortly after. So I thought my Grandad was Mister Rogers. My Grandad was a gentle soul and kind of look liked Fred Rogers. He even changed into a sweater and house shoes when he got home from his office. So whenever I see Mister Rogers I can't help but think of my Grandad who I lost back in 1995.
We didn't have a TV growing up(my dad literally couldn't funtion with one in the house😂) but I spent A LOT of time at my grandparents. Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, The Golden Girls & Designing Women were the shows we never missed. My grandparents would watch Mr Roger's even when I wasn't there. All 3 shows were for their time very progressive & made an impact. Though The Golden Girls & Designing Women weren't meant for little kids obviously, I still remember those perspectives & lessons. Mr. Rogers was definitely the best "neighbor" to have.
It’s amazing how he could take his time speaking, choosing his words carefully, and getting in no hurry to make his point…and you’re still hanging on his every word. That’s a rare gift.
Here’s an interesting fact about him or what happened to him. Some people stole his car, the thieves once they found out they stole Mr. Rogers car. They returned it with a note of apology, saying we are sorry we did not know this belong to you. The cardigans that you see in his closet, his mother made those for him. The fish tank if it’s shown, a little girl had a letter sent in, she was blind or visually impaired enough to where she could be declared blind, the letter stated that she heard about his fish, and was concerned about them not getting fed so once he read that letter, I believe he did it on camera too, he would say I’m feeding the fish now. 10:54 yes, that is the same child.
Whenever I’m feeling low I put on Mr. Rogers. Even now at 30 I still cry because when he says “I like you just the way you are.” He means it. My mom is an artist, my siblings and I all help out. Whenever someone stops by my booth, I always make sure to be present, and make that connection with them whether they buy something or not. Putting a little more kindness in the world makes me happy. I live by the example Mr. Rogers set for all his neighbors because he was my neighbor, he was my mom’s neighbor, and he can be your neighbor too. The world is so loud now and the gift of silence is more valuable then ever.
I have a quote by Mister Rogers framed in my house. I was only 6 when he passed away, but I loved watching him. He was truly one of those special people.
I watched his show growing up, he was a fantastic person. He was an advocate for kids at a time when kids were meant to be seen and not heard. He is the metric we should measure ourselves by.
"He's getting in my feelings!" Yeah...Mr Rogers helped CREATE our feelings, as GenXers. He was a safe, loving space for so many of us. He is still missed.
There is someone very much like him right now.. Mychael Threets… a librarian. His message is around library joy, and mental health. the same authenticity. He suffers from anxiety and depression and gives us the same kind of hope and care directed to all of us. Mychael is primarily about hope.
My mom ran a daycare center so I ended up watching Mr Rogers way past the usual age of his watchers. I always remember that he didn’t so much teach what you should do in various situations, but it was more how you should, or could, be when dealing with those things. After 911 happened, all sorts of people on TV had tons to say about it, but when Mr Rogers went back on TV to give us a message of hope it really hit me hard. If anyone on TV should qualify for sainthood it would be him.
Around 1987, I was standing with fellow students at lunchtime on the sidewalk of Smithfield St. in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We noticed Fred Rogers walking briskly toward us and moving to the curb to cross the street out of the range of a crosswalk. As he stepped from the curb, a city bus was approaching from behind. The driver slammed on the brakes and Fred was startled, but he barely escaped serious injury or death. He smiled and carried on as if nothing had happened.
Watch the rest of that awards show. Guaranteed, you'll be in tears. He got all of them to have a full minute of absolute silence on a national awards show and think about someone important to them.
66 comments, 100% positive, 0% trolls. Mister Rogers was the real deal. I'd say we'll never see the like of him again, but that would be contrary to his entire message, so I won't.
It would have meant the world to me to have been able to get a hug from Mr. Rogers. He was instrumental in my early childhood, and I always tear up with the biggest smile when I watch these clips of him, either in an interview or from his show. He always made you feel loved without anything needed in return.
I grew up watching Mr Roger's Neighborhood, he had a huge empact on me. I had a lot of emotions I didnt know how to deal with and he helped. He had such compassion for people and I was inspired by that. I showed his show to my son when he was young.
Very touching reaction! I hope you take his lessons to heart and learn that many feel warmly towards you, even when you feel alone. So many American children had Mr. Rogers as a virtual uncle/grandpa. He really was a huge influence, whether consciously or subconsciously. My id is Mr. Rogers and my superego is Fraggle Rock. And the world is ... this.
As one of thousands maybe even millions of kids that grew up watching Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, I wish a show like his was still airing for my own child to watch. We definitely need more Mr. Roger like individuals.
This man was the father I wish I had, the father I needed. Not the malignant narcissistic alcoholic and sadist who beat me and emotionally abused me. Mr Rogers helped me become who I am. He gave me the concept of unconditional love, which I never learned at home. He gave me the role model for a better type of man, which definitely impacted the kind of man I eventually married. He was a lifeline, especially to us whole generation of GenX kids who grew up as latch key kids, with far too little supervision or healthy parenting from our self-centered Silent Generation and Boomer parents.
"i'm going to tell you something that i've told you many times before when you were alot younger, I like you just the way you are" - Mr. Rodgers last TV speech
idk what it is, but for some reason, whenever I watch clips of Mr. Rogers, it brings me to tears. he *was* my childhood, and I always feel like he made the world such an amazing place. 🥰
Mr. Rogers helped raise 3 generations… Gen X, Millenials, and early Gen Z. We lost an icon the day he died. His comment on mental health is spot on and it’s sad that after seeing this I truly think the world lost a guiding light when we lost him and have never found a replacement.
He was pure magic. He was positivity and pure love for others and children. What he said he truly meant, he was truly earnest and honest. Which is a rare thing.
For several years there was an "event" at AnthroCon in Pittsburgh called, "Breakfast with Fred" where some of us would leave the convention on Saturday morning and go have breakfast at the foot of the statue of Fred Rogers as our way of saying "Thank You" to him. It was always a good weather day each time. Some might even say... "It was a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood".
I wasn't allowed to watch Mr Rogers as a child because my parents thought he was a "fruity pinko." But I snuck a watch in anytime I could, and still watch old episodes on youtube to this day. I'm 59 now and wish my mom and dad hadn't been so wounded that they wouldn't let me heal, but they're dead now so thank you youtube, and thank you Fred Rogers.
Fred Rogers said, "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping'." But Mr. Rogers never just *looked* for the helpers; he seems to have taken his mother's words as a personal challenge. Fred Rogers *became* a helper, for many, many people, both children and adults. The world lost a great man when Mr. Rogers passed away.
I’m an atheist now, but I grew up being forced to go to church (southern baptist some of the biggest hypocrites out there). I never felt preached to or indoctrinated watching Mister Rogers, even now as a 51 year adult. I only have happy memories of Fred Rogers growing up.
I have a down syndrome little brother..we watched Mr. Roger for years ..we learned we're all different and unique. We had programing in my childhood the commercials taught about government on cartoon day....day off from school for week end we had cartoons with a lesson to learn...manners , not boom boom boom and get em shoot , warfare.... We learned we may be differently but we are all human and kinda the same . How awful if all we're completely the same. But all have situations that they must handle in life....and once we know about things ppl change fears into opportunities... I LOVE MR.ROGERS AND MANY MILLIONS OF AMERICANS LOVE HIM TOO... THANK YOU ,DEAR MR. ROGERS .....MY NEIGHBOR, MY INSPIRATION, HAPPY TO BE NOTICED... RIP.
Mr. Rogers has about as close to a 100% trust and approval rating as any single human has achieved in U.S. culture. This is a fact. If you don't believe me, go anywhere in the States and talk crap about Fred Rogers. (Please don't ever do this)
I think I might have to watch old episodes to make sure I don't lose myself in adult life. Yes, it's a children's show, but sometimes we need reminded of the basics to get back on the right track. ❤
My TH-cam channel is still available - it deals with introspection and personal growth - but I haven’t felt a need lately to upload new content. What hasn’t already been said? I wonder what Mr Rogers did to plan out each season’s episode topics. His show reminds me of a lot of TH-camrs and bloggers.
I wanted a closet full of sweater coats when I was growing up! So I So I could come home and change from one into another. And you didn’t even see the puppet show parts!
One taught us how to treat people, and ourselves. One taught us how to paint, and not get discouraged by our “happy accidents.” One taught us the joy of reading a good story. Plus that one episode that was bts for TNG. Nice pics. 😊
@himwhoisnottobenamed5427 one of my favorite bob Ross stories was a colorblind person wrote to him saying I want to paint 🎨🖌️ but I can't see colors he then devoted. Whole show to painting in like grey black and white and said there are no limits in painting
Mr Roger's no one like him 100% for children's tv him and sesame street where the bomb back in the day weather you grew up poor middle class or in the hood Mr Roger's made learning good. You should do a reaction to zoobalezoo. And Tim Noah. Many kids grew up in the 80s on in search of the wow wow wibble wabble wazzy woodle woo and started million of kids singing across the us.
You should watch the entire clip of him speakinh with the US Senate. He was there to ask them to reconsider cutting the funding to to PBS. 6 minutes is all it took for him to change the course of children's television. It began with the committee not really being interested. It ended with them hanging on his words and Fred walking away with $20 million to fund the entirety of PBS. Absolute LEGEND. 💗

In a world where everyone believes whatever they want evidence be damned… I’ll choose to believe this.

Yes! This is the story I was going to tell lol@@cleekmaker00
Mr. Rogers helped raise us.
Absolutely!
My father died when I was five. Mr. Rogers was sort of like a second dad to me. I still love them both so much.
I never had any grandparents (they all passed before I was born, my grandpas passed several decades before I was born) so I kind of adopted them everywhere I could. I absolutely include Fred Rogers as one of my many unofficially adopted grandpas. ❤

Every person in America loves Mr. Rogers; he touched millions of lives. 👍❤️
Fox News didn’t. Seriously, look that nonsense up.
There's a lady that goes to my church who used to work behind the scenes on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. She says that Mr. Rogers was just what you saw on TV. He was always kind and patient, and always cared about anyone he met.

@@Branwhin Nothin like a good Tickle Trunk! Hahaha
The man is BELOVED here in Western Pennsylvania so much; He was from Latrobe, PA and his show was created and produced here in Pittsburgh.
Even in a household full of chaos we still gathered in front of the tv for mr. Rogers.
Same - everything was broken in our family and home but Mr Rogers changing his sweater and feeding his fish was the structure I craved and he provided! ♥️❤️♥️❤️
Mr. Roger’s was a saint and a treasure. The world needs more people like him.
Pittsburgh is very proud of Mister Rogers…a gentle kind soul.
I was a teenager when Mister Rogers passed away in 2003. When I came to school the next day, many classmates were openly grieving.
Mr. Rogers was as close to perfect as you can get! He was a wonderful person!
I love that Kevin Smith puts Betty Aberlin who played Lady Aberlin on “Mister Rogers' Neighborhood” in most of his movies. If you’ve never noticed it, go back and watch the roles she’s done in his movies. She’s been in 6 different ones, starting with Dogma.

Fred Rogers was too good for this world. 😢
Wonderful, wonderful reaction! Mr. Rogers was a gift from God.
Thank you for your reaction.
👍👍👏👏🎉🎉
It was much harder to go public back then. Fred Rogers was one of the finest human beings ever.

Got a lil weepy watching this. I loved Mr. Roger’s and definitely a great part of my childhood. He has to be quintessential American zeitgeist.
We could use a lot more of his attitudes in America today.
There is someone very much like him right now.. Mychael Threets… a librarian. His message is around library joy, and mental health. the same authenticity. He suffers from anxiety and depression and gives us the same kind of hope and care directed to all of us. Mychael is primarily about hope.

Mr. Rogers was my third parent. What a good man. We need another Mr. Rogers.
There were a lot of kids out there who only got love from Mr. Rogers.
I grew up in the early 80s and watched Mr Roger's Neighborhood my entire childhood. He made me the woman i am today. Such an important program.
After watching your reaction, I want you to know I’m proud of you. You did a wonderful job ❤ Very sincere and open minded. Open hearted.

When the World lost Mr.Rodgers
We lost our humanity

To be fair, information brings the wonder to life. Makes it reality.
I’m an atheist now, but I grew up being forced to go to church (southern baptist some of the biggest hypocrites out there). I never felt preached to or indoctrinated watching Mister Rogers, even now as a 51 year adult. I only have happy memories of Fred Rogers growing up.
Same (ex Church of Christ here).
If you ever want to know what it's like to be universally hated by everyone in an entire country, just say an unkind word about Fred Rodgers.
Damn, I miss this real life Angel. The world is worse off without him.
I still sing it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood almost daily.
He was all Gen x neighbor
We are all special
I have a down syndrome little brother..we watched Mr. Roger for years ..we learned we're all different and unique.
We had programing in my childhood the commercials taught about government on cartoon day....day off from school for week end we had cartoons with a lesson to learn...manners , not boom boom boom and get em shoot , warfare....

You should watch "A beautiful day in the neighborhood" a movie about a guy who wants to interview Mr Rogers. Be prepared.
Boomers didn’t know the babysitter was a liberal legend. Now they want to end PBS

MR ROGERS RASED THE LACH KRY KIDS!
There is a movie out about Mr Rogers highly recommended it's really good
Mr Rogers kid here!
The show was corny, but we all loved Mr. Rodgers, still do!!!
watchin with you
Rodgers was a retired hit man. He killed a man with a pencil.
Mr Roger's no one like him 100% for children's tv him and sesame street where the bomb back in the day weather you grew up poor middle class or in the hood Mr Roger's made learning good.
You should do a reaction to zoobalezoo.
And Tim Noah. Many kids grew up in the 80s on in search of the wow wow wibble wabble wazzy woodle woo and started million of kids singing across the us.
He wore a cardigan.
The gentleman who played Mr. Rogers wore the sweater was to cover his tatoos he picked up in the military before becpming a Minister. 😮
Imagine if todays kids had him to listen to rather than ppl telling them theyre in the wrong body….🤷♂️🤔
Mr. Rogers would chastise you. He likes us to be our true selves. You might want to go back and watch a few episodes.
I would love to hear Mr Rogers" take on MAGA.
You should watch the entire clip of him speakinh with the US Senate. He was there to ask them to reconsider cutting the funding to to PBS. 6 minutes is all it took for him to change the course of children's television. It began with the committee not really being interested. It ended with them hanging on his words and Fred walking away with $20 million to fund the entirety of PBS. Absolute LEGEND. 💗
