A new documentary retraces the 34-year-long run of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" and the story of Fred Rogers, the man behind the beloved children's TV show. #Nightline #MrRogers #ABCNews #FredRogers
Not "never". Just let them know that right now, they aren't being the person Mr Rogers knew they could be. Give people time, and they will change for the better
Well he actually died 20 years ago but if Mr Rogers was still alive today he would be in his mid 90s, My friend August Caccavone who fought in World War II would be around the same age Fred Rogers was
Meninism 101 Please go elsewhere with your nasty talk. This is Mr Rogers not Cosby. I’m sorry you’re having a problem with the distinction. They are really very different.
There has never been a more pure heart born on this dreary planet than Mr. Fred Rogers. I may not be a Christian, but I feel if there was ever a man who could ever fit the mold of what a Jesus Christ could be, it was this kind, wonderful, caring, gentle man.
109 people who disliked this video are not the type of people Mr. Rogers wanted them to be. They need to be better neighbours. Truth is we all could be.
But then they heal your heart, when they watch Mr. Rogers for the first time and they were entranced by it. This shows that Mr. Rogers has, still, and will always make a connection to children of many generations
I’m 15 and I still watched Mr. Rogers when I was younger (I saw reruns). Also, my mom ran into him in real life at a mall in Chicago or something and she instantly recognized him when she saw him so she started a conversation with him. That’s so cool right?
I’m 16, and I remembered I watched this one Mr. Rogers DVD when I was maybe about 4/5 at my grandparents house. We need to marathon every single episode of this show on every single television in the world.
@@RuminatingWizard I think there would be peace. I mean, this is a man who had his car stolen and when the thieves realized they stole the car of Mr. Rogers, they returned it with an apology.
Kid: *Looks at the man who isn’t particularly African American* Also the kid: *”Is that barrack Obama”* Note: it’s a joke. I’m not insulting any children. Sorry to anyone I offended 🤷♂️
Mr Rogers has that hypnotic effect that he has on kids. They’d be under his spell in seconds. I must say he helped a lot of kids in terms of things like anger issues, knowing that you don’t have to be someone else to make you more cool or talented, being yourself, knowing that you’re special just the way you are, coping with the death of a family member or a pet, the list goes on.
I love how genuinely wholesome this comments section is. It feels like exactly the type of setting the neighborhood created. RIP one of the kindest souls to ever walk the earth. We truly didn't deserve him, but I'm so happy I got the chance to have him change my life for the better. He truly made me the man I am
The little girl who says she'll watch him until she gets old is a smart little cutie! People who have given this a thumbs down need some Fred Rogers. I love you, Mr. Rogers!!
The reason Fred didn’t let it slip that Francois was gay was because they would not allow him to be on tv if the producers knew he was gay, don’t smear Mr. Rogers like that.
His wife says it perfectly. He always had the audience of adults in mind and did not want them to take away his children. It's unfortunate, but if Francois came out during that time period, the show would have been canceled, cutting all of Mr. Rogers' wholesome goodness and life lessons short. It was the practical thing to do. Heartbreaking? Of course. But it had to be done. That said, I don't think Mr. Rogers would have done that today. He definitely would have had an openly gay person on the show at some point.
I'm only 13 my parents grew up to him and when I was little they would sometimes talk to us about mister Rogers and a few days ago my mom brought him up again... I decided to look him up and just watch videos . Watching what he has done for everyone is amazing and it gives me thoughts....even better ...dreams ..if helping the world as he did .. I dream to not replace him but to be a partner to him and help our new world...I'm not sure how but Im hoping to do what he did and make videos and teach kids as he did I'm not sure how I'll do it even if I'm not on a t.v show still teach kids around me with respect and teach them how mister Rodgers did! I hope atkeast somebody sees this so they know .....we need mister Rodgers now more than ever and even in the future we can still need one! Love and respect to him and everyone here reading this ♥️🙏♥️
Nevaeh, you're a good soul. Continue forward with those thoughts and ideas, seek to find the best in yourself and those around you, and YOU will have an amazing life ... while doing amazing things for others!
there was another movie too that came out in 2018 called Won't You Be My Neighbor? I'm pretty sure only selected theaters were playing it. (i mean cuz the one i went to didn't let me in cuz i was a minor cuz they severed alcohol soo...)
This man made my childhood. I hate that he's gone. The fact that someone can be so kind, so pure, that millions of people cried on the day he died. The fact he loved everyone just as they were, brings tears to my eyes.
Exactly. I can almost picture Mr. Rogers appearing in all America's TV screens comforting all of us and saying "I know that many of you think that things are bad and nothing seems to have sense. And many of you might think that it is a good idea that I return to your lives so we can be neighbors again. But my time has already passed, and I taught you all that you needed to learn on how to be a good neighbor. You don't need me anymore; all that you need is to pass on to others *the true meaning of being a neighbor* "
I watched old episodes when I was 6 and this man gave me a reason to get up in the morning this man was my life and made me want to go places He’s the reason I’m here now I fucking love this man I miss him
In my opinion, we could use this man right now. The world has always been full of hate...but this man never...never had one bit of hate in his body. Honestly it's hard to imagine how such a man could be so sweet, so kind, so nice and caring. But Mr. Rogers was. I wish he was still alive right now. I know we have his show and so much of him from the past 50 years...but we could still use his wisdom today. If there was ever a man who deserved my respect. It's Mr. Rogers.
Mr. Rogers never chose to act on what leads to hate. He was a truly giving kind and compassionate man. People don’t want the world to have hate. Those kids showed us that. I love Mr. Rogers and how he showed us that it’s okay to have concerns and confusion about a difficult world, but to face it with optimism. An optimism derived not from dogma, but from a choice. I am not a perfect person. I have made mistakes, taken people for granted, and have let anger get the better of me in the past. However, I always choose to face the world with the optimism that the man in the Red Cardigan taught me.
Fred Rodgers had such a profound effect on me as a man. I had a very difficult childhood, he was the father I never had. When i see him, Fred Rodgers was not weak, he was very strong. This man was pure undiluted intention and no ego. He had no interest in himself. The only thing he cared about were the children he was talking to. I watch him now as an adult and can imagine what Christ was like in person.
I absolutely, wholeheartedly believe Mr. Rogers was the closest thing that Christ asked us to be. He was filled with the Holy Spirit all his days. May the Lord bless him.
This Man raised my Grandson, Great Grandson, and Great Great Grandson by them watching the Television Set, and he was 11 months older then my Son. I will forever respect this man not only because his words were true, but the fact that he spent most of his life making others feel better when they were sad, teaching the younger generations how to be nice and respectful, and just always doing good by other people. Although I was probably born a few years after his parents "1906" he still has made most people's lives better including myself.
Matthew Jimenez Especially at the fascism of our youth in the streets beating up people they don't even know. Loving others was his way. Not hate. Liberals need a heavy dose of watching Mr Rogers.
Nancy Rocks 😂😂😂Mr. you saying Roger’s views weren’t liberal?? Singling out a group of people like you just did is exactly what he warned against. Just be neighbors. Not condescending or rude
He was such a sweet man just the love and positivity he brought into the world is just incredible. We do need him right now more then ever especially with everything that has been going on in the last week or two. It’s very sad what our world is coming to but I know things will eventually get better ❤️🌍
Was he on almost every single day? Are you talking about Daniel Tiger's show which is not the same thing? After he died, they still played his show for a little while but it quickly went to only one or two days a week.
@@Thevidgame it might not have even been on his show. Obviously Mr. Rogers is on other shows. If you only remember it from a dream, it could be incorrect
I just looked it up. The last show was recorded in December 2001. They played repeats for a while after this. So when people think that younger people have not seen the show, they are talking about the fact that they watched new shows all week. Even if you are 18 years old as I am writing this, you were watching repeats. He died in 2003.
Being human living in the present day, we are not ruined, but demoralized by social media... Do not forget this when you wake up to a fresh new day, why not make new positive choices?
I know Mr. Rogers said we should “always look for the helpers,” but I still think we could use his guidance now more than ever. I’d love it if every episode were made available, either on a streaming service or, preferably, by airing the reruns on PBS Kids again.
Fahd Halim he was doing a show in the mid and late 60’s. One of the most trying times in American history. Oh I think he could handle it. In fact, I think if the kids today watched Mr Rogers, there would be a lot more authentic compassion going around than we see now.
EVERY single Mr. Rogers video I watch makes my eyes misty. I'm 50 years old and I grew up watching this special man . I've come to realize how much of an impact this man had on me. You know who he reminds me of, minus the miracles? Yes. Right?
Who said he didn't do miracles? ;) Ever hear the story of how he talked to a comatose girl in the hospital and hearing his voice is what brought her back to consciousness? There's a video on TH-cam somewhere about it, it's a beautiful watch :')
Im 25 and battling depression. I still watch his show to this day and I can say confidently it has impacted my mental health in such a positive light. His message of love was so pure and true and sometimes you just need to be reminded that you are in fact special and that you are loved. He was a good man and our world lost its last saint when he passed away.
Jessie, before you think of suicide, just remember, the world does have people like Mr. Rogers alive today, but most of us just can't see it within ourselves to do the right thing.
I can honestly say that I, as a child (before the hundreds of channels available today... back when there was only 3, and I had to use the little wheel in the panel box to tune in PBS),, would eagerly tune in PBS every day and watch in awe and wonder as I learned through his insperational lessons and calm, soothing demeanor. At 47 years now....I STILL sit and watch in awe and wonder! Today's generation truly NEEDS Mr. Rogers.
Mr. Rogers was a decent, compassionate, and loving individual who deeply cared about children. He addressed important issues with them including death, divorce, handicapped individuals, racial matters, etc. in an honest and straightforward manner that they could understand in order to allay their fears. I definitely would love to see a revival of this show on PBS or any other station which I'm sure many other parents would agree we could use right now. For me and for those of you who remember his show, I believe that sometimes simple is better. Our children need the kind of caring and loving values that he espoused on his show every single day.
When I was little, my great grandparents used to take care of me during the day while my parents were at work and soon as I got there they would have breakfast ready for me and we'd watch Mr. Rogers. They've both passed now but I cherish those days I had with them. I'm not sure why but it's really hitting me hard now that all three of them have moved on. Side note: I grew up in the same Pittsburgh neighborhood he lived in and my uncle told me the story of how Mr. Rogers once had his car stolen, but once the people who stole it discovered it was his car, they returned it immediately.
Lydia Campbell I get the feels reading what you shared. I am so glad you got to grow up with Mr. Rogers like I did. I lived near Pittsburgh. I grew up in WV. Lived there for 24 years. Pittsburgh has always been one of my favorite places in the world. I loved shopping there bc of no sales tax and I think that the three rivers are so beautiful. The airport is still my favorite airport. I hope they still have those displays of Mr. Rogers memorabilia. I never was able to get a good picture of them.
I think if Mister Rogers could see the cultural and political climate today, knowing that many people in each category grew up watching him, would feel that maybe he failed. He taught us to love and respect one another, but those values are nearly extinct today. He taught us to show kindness to each other, but today people are so quick to rush to anger. He taught us to open our hearts to each other, but two people sitting on a bus next to each other today are so engrossed in their phones, that they don't realize that a new friend might be sitting right next to them, if only they would acknowledge them and say hello. The attitudes we carry today, and the lack of love we have for each other now is an exact contradiction to what Mister Rogers taught our young minds so many years ago. I believe that with sadness, he would feel like he did his best to teach us good from bad, right from wrong, love from hate, and he might feel that he failed us. But that's not the way it is. WE failed him.
The world changed after his death, the housing market crashed, the big three car companies took huge bailouts, thousands of people lost their jobs in the recession that still grows to this day. And new families can't afford what their parents could. The world changed so while you see angry and turmoil, I see men and women fighting to create and preserve a better world for Americans
@Martin Kuhn...he impressed and changed the world because he had true Faith in God, not perverted religion, all our morality and manners have been stripped away from everyone for the rights of the few who were offended by being taught right and wrong...morals and to love non judgmentally...to allow one another to live and let live. For the rights of Madeline O'Hare those of us who believed were tossed aside. Don't get me wrong...I believe if you don't wish to believe, are Pagan, Wicca, Atheist other religions have at it! What is wrong with the 10 Commandments...learning right from wrong and the love found in 1 Corinthians 13!? It's simply divisive hate. It's done nothing but drive us apart. As the Good book says...A house divided can not stand...believe as you see fit but do so as NEIGHBORS! God bless.
The reason Mr. Rogers has failed was because his worldview was inherently flawed. He believed that all people are pretty much equal, and that we can all live together in peace, but this is not true at all. Different groups have different behavior and different interests pertaining to which direction the country should go, so naturally there is bound to be deep conflict and division in a multiracial, multicultural society where people share no common bond except the land they live on. Frankly, it's just common sense that Indians, Chinese, Ugandans, Irish, etc. are very different in many more ways than physical appearance, and that one society can not meet the need and desires of such radically different people.
It makes sense. I think part of his motivation was to create Christian friendly television. He was always welcoming and and many ways embodied the best of Jesus's lessons
The washing of the feet is big time people! It just means love one another today and forevermore and revel until something else comes along because I’m loved by my past! Thank you very much
I remembered coming home after school and looking forward to watch his show, I love his greeting song and often sang it when I was down and it would cheer me up. He touches my heart and my childhood during times when I need comfort and a friend. Thankyou Mr. Roger for being there during my childhood, I will always remember you.
I was born is 2003, not long after he passed away. I remember watching reruns of his show all the time when I was small and it taught me so much. I learned how to tie my shoes and about death and other topics like it that usually nobody teaches us about as young children. For that I am truly grateful.
Hmmm, part of why a certain generation is calm, respectful, considerate, decent, contributing human beings. Thanks mom, dad, Mr. Rogers. And, cannot ignore my Pentacostal upbringing. As a child, I dreamed he was my neighbor. Where the other side of the fence, had fairly nice green grass. lol
Jan J Mr. Rogers was one of a kind when I was watching a show of his he would always teach me something one show it would teach me that it’s OK to cry be upset and another show helped me when my dog died because he talked about his dog dying I always had low self-esteem but in every show he always told me you’re special because you’re you and there’s only one of you
There was a Fred Rogers stream on Twitch one day and my eleven year old son and I watched it all day. My eleven year old couldn't get enough of Mr. Rogers (and he has given up cartoons and "kids shows" as too little for him). He said that he liked that he was gentle and kind and that he talked to kids about things that they wanted to know about but that older people think they won't understand. Fred Rogers was a great man. And we do need someone like him now, someone who can speak to children about the tough stuff in a way that they can understand. One only needs to look at the current state of our country (the anger, the hate, the unforgiveness) to know that we need Mr Rogers.
That was part of what made him so incredible. He talked to kids about things that other adults didn't want to, and he didn't talk down to them. He used terms they could understand, but he never talked down to them. He respected them and he made them feel special. I'm glad I grew up as his neighbour.
“Won’t you be my neighbor”~Mr. Rogers~ Mr. Rogers thank you for putting hope and happiness in peoples hearts we will miss you. Thanks for 5 likes this comment was a day after my birthday and my birthday is November 17
Yes, Fred Rogers is MUCH needed today, he represents the innocence lost that is so often spoken of. I grew up on Mr. Rogers neighborhood in the 60's, a lost world we'll never see again, and he was very much an essential part of that world! God bless you, Mr. Rogers....YOU Rock!!!
"Young adults and children" Presents kids younger than 6. "You must be in your 20's or older to know Mr Rodgers" Me being 15 and thinking "You thought I didn't know? "
This man cared more about your feelings than you care about your own feelings.
True. I don't care about my bitch ass life *punches face repeatedly*
This is not what mr Rogers would want you to say
Him caring about me made me want to care about myself
Lincoln257 I was the 666th like
Still can't get over "whites only" and "stupid idiot". Those are closer to being memes than reality.
The greatest insult of all time: "You'll never be half the person Mr. Rogers wanted you to be."
To even forge these words it’s just unholy
OOOOOF
Not "never". Just let them know that right now, they aren't being the person Mr Rogers knew they could be.
Give people time, and they will change for the better

Well said
V2 VoidHypr agreed

@@ctsteve1967 how so?
ok I will, thanks for the advice GOD bless u
He’s gone, but his teachings aren’t. To be a neighbor, starts with us.
You're right.
Simple answer: Yes. But he's done his duty. So you and I have to be the one's to be that neighbour now.
Maybe you can be our Mr. Rogers and help us cope with today’s world.
Thanks. I hope I can be in some way through the little I can do.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Phantom strider thank you so much I love your channel.
So .. people .. what is stopping YOU from being more like Fred Rogers ?
Petition PBS to re-run the episodes again.
They stopped airing them?
Sommer57 yes they stopped reruns in 2013
Why would they do that, but still keep Sesame Street on the air?
Yes please
THIS NEEDS TO BE A THING
We need a national Mr. Rogers Day.
Surprised there isn't one yet.
Yes
Worldwide**
I am not from his country, but I love him so much
YES
1000% agreed
Mr. Rogers, the first Avenger
Just saying, he should’ve been president
He would be the perfect president
Fred is no politician, just a very kind hearted man
Agreed.
❤
If he was president America would have been a lot better
"That's my heart, right there"
The girl in the cap is so right
Mr Rogers was love in human form
Yes he was.
@RealBloppy I personally like to believe that Mr. Roger's was jesus reborn.
Amen! He was such a wonderful person!
Rod Zalez no... that’s Jesus.
Including Desmond Doss and Bob Ross
Mister Rogers was ahead of his time, we truly do need him now.
Let's start by you and me BEING Mr Rogers
You'll, always have him.
Can you imagine a world/your life without Mr. Rogers?
Your last name is Shalchaz
Well he actually died 20 years ago but if Mr Rogers was still alive today he would be in his mid 90s, My friend August Caccavone who fought in World War II would be around the same age Fred Rogers was

Mr Rogers has that hypnotic effect that he has on kids. They’d be under his spell in seconds. I must say he helped a lot of kids in terms of things like anger issues, knowing that you don’t have to be someone else to make you more cool or talented, being yourself, knowing that you’re special just the way you are, coping with the death of a family member or a pet, the list goes on.

In these days of Covid19, we definitely need Mister Rogers
I can definitely see Mr Rogers talking about George Floyd and COVID-19
And all the online tension of now
covid blm and now the wars between israel and palestine as well as the war between russia n ukraine
The reason Fred didn’t let it slip that Francois was gay was because they would not allow him to be on tv if the producers knew he was gay, don’t smear Mr. Rogers like that.
He said that. And I quote "he was afraid of them taking away his children"

He definitely would have had an openly gay person on the show at some point.
Team Shot Hero Exactly! It was a different world then and Fred was just making sure the show stayed on the air. Today that wouldn't have mattered.
Yes thank you
Even if he was less than ahead of his time on that issue at one point, he still came around on it before most people did, so it's not a huge deal.
His shows should air until the end of times, classics that could be used today, favorite times as a child
Agree, the show should continue it's airings, his advice is still relevant.
Imma pirate these and if I go to jail for it imma be pissed these should be free u shouldn’t have to pay a dime for these these wonderful lessons
I'm only 13 my parents grew up to him and when I was little they would sometimes talk to us about mister Rogers and a few days ago my mom brought him up again... I decided to look him up and just watch videos . Watching what he has done for everyone is amazing and it gives me thoughts....even better ...dreams ..if helping the world as he did .. I dream to not replace him but to be a partner to him and help our new world...I'm not sure how but Im hoping to do what he did and make videos and teach kids as he did I'm not sure how I'll do it even if I'm not on a t.v show still teach kids around me with respect and teach them how mister Rodgers did!

They're finally making a movie about this incredible man. Tom Hanks will play Mr. Rogers. Just when you think you couldn't love him more.
Yep: November 2019, I hear. Sony-Tristar.
there was another movie too that came out in 2018 called Won't You Be My Neighbor? I'm pretty sure only selected theaters were playing it. (i mean cuz the one i went to didn't let me in cuz i was a minor cuz they severed alcohol soo...)
He deserves a Nobel peace prize... in every hard subject he would cover, he would always find a way to bring us together...

This man made my childhood.
I hate that he's gone.
The fact that someone can be so kind, so pure, that millions of people cried on the day he died.
The fact he loved everyone just as they were, brings tears to my eyes.
You know what, Mr. Rogers did his part and I think it's time for us to do the same. #BeSomeonesNeighbor
YES
Exactly. I can almost picture Mr. Rogers appearing in all America's TV screens comforting all of us and saying "I know that many of you think that things are bad and nothing seems to have sense. And many of you might think that it is a good idea that I return to your lives so we can be neighbors again. But my time has already passed, and I taught you all that you needed to learn on how to be a good neighbor. You don't need me anymore; all that you need is to pass on to others *the true meaning of being a neighbor* "

so did i
Same.
I watched old episodes when I was 6 and this man gave me a reason to get up in the morning this man was my life and made me want to go places
He’s the reason I’m here now
I fucking love this man I miss him
This was one of my favorite shows and I was born in 2002 🙂
Greetings fellow 2002er!
Viva la 2002

In my opinion, we could use this man right now. The world has always been full of hate...but this man never...never had one bit of hate in his body. Honestly it's hard to imagine how such a man could be so sweet, so kind, so nice and caring. But Mr. Rogers was. I wish he was still alive right now. I know we have his show and so much of him from the past 50 years...but we could still use his wisdom today. If there was ever a man who deserved my respect. It's Mr. Rogers.
We could petition PBS to replay te entire series.
Mr. Rogers never chose to act on what leads to hate. He was a truly giving kind and compassionate man. People don’t want the world to have hate. Those kids showed us that. I love Mr. Rogers and how he showed us that it’s okay to have concerns and confusion about a difficult world, but to face it with optimism. An optimism derived not from dogma, but from a choice. I am not a perfect person. I have made mistakes, taken people for granted, and have let anger get the better of me in the past. However, I always choose to face the world with the optimism that the man in the Red Cardigan taught me.
Fred Rodgers had such a profound effect on me as a man. I had a very difficult childhood, he was the father I never had. When i see him, Fred Rodgers was not weak, he was very strong. This man was pure undiluted intention and no ego. He had no interest in himself. The only thing he cared about were the children he was talking to. I watch him now as an adult and can imagine what Christ was like in person.
Same here
Amen. He had a servants heart.
Frederick
Wonderfully put
I absolutely, wholeheartedly believe Mr. Rogers was the closest thing that Christ asked us to be. He was filled with the Holy Spirit all his days. May the Lord bless him.
That's the most statement I believe I've ever read.
Of course we do. This world needs any and all positivity we can get our hands on. This world needs Fred Rogers.
I'm sad I never grew up with him, but I understand his legacy more than ever.
If there's one person I wish would live forever, it would have been Fred Rogers.
Rebecca Benway Same
And Bob Ross. 😖
So true...
What about Walt Disney or Michael Jackson?
YES, THE WORLD NEEDS THIS, REMASTERED AND RERUN ON TODAYS TV.
Absolutely. A lot of teachings and life lessons that foster compassion and empathy in action.
People can be so fickle sometimes.
He's literally an angel sent from heaven.
This Man raised my Grandson, Great Grandson, and Great Great Grandson by them watching the Television Set, and he was 11 months older then my Son. I will forever respect this man not only because his words were true, but the fact that he spent most of his life making others feel better when they were sad, teaching the younger generations how to be nice and respectful, and just always doing good by other people. Although I was probably born a few years after his parents "1906" he still has made most people's lives better including myself.
1:15 If Mr Rogers was still alive he would be very upset about the world today
Matthew Jimenez he would be called a white supremacist sadly.
Matthew Jimenez Especially at the fascism of our youth in the streets beating up people they don't even know. Loving others was his way. Not hate. Liberals need a heavy dose of watching Mr Rogers.
Nancy Rocks 😂😂😂Mr. you saying Roger’s views weren’t liberal?? Singling out a group of people like you just did is exactly what he warned against. Just be neighbors. Not condescending or rude
Raymundo11 Mr. Rogers is never upset.
OyImTheJoker My point was they don’t sexualize children. They have no higher rates of molesting children than straight people.
I miss mr Roger's he was like a grandpa to me 😭😭😭
Jason The Realest Venom Jordan AE Gaming ikr.
I watched him every day.
TruthSeeker08 me too 😢😢
Karen Young I'll date you baby add me on TH-cam contacts let's chat some time ❤❤😘😘😍😍
Don't cry. He wouldn't want you to think of him as someone whose hurt.
Jason The Realest Venom Jordan AE Gaming He is the most respectable man and human on earth. Even more so than Jesus himself!
He was such a sweet man just the love and positivity he brought into the world is just incredible. We do need him right now more then ever especially with everything that has been going on in the last week or two. It’s very sad what our world is coming to but I know things will eventually get better ❤️🌍
smh you don’t need to be at least 21 to know who mister rogers is. i watched him when i didn’t have cable and i’m 17 now
Was he on almost every single day? Are you talking about Daniel Tiger's show which is not the same thing?
After he died, they still played his show for a little while but it quickly went to only one or two days a week.
brendalg4 I remember briefly watching some episodes of his show but then slowly Daniel tigers showed up more which I didn’t like :/
Are you Serious? I’m 17, and I remember watching him on TV a little bit. How do I remember this? I had a dream about him when I was a child.
@@Thevidgame it might not have even been on his show. Obviously Mr. Rogers is on other shows. If you only remember it from a dream, it could be incorrect
I just looked it up. The last show was recorded in December 2001. They played repeats for a while after this. So when people think that younger people have not seen the show, they are talking about the fact that they watched new shows all week. Even if you are 18 years old as I am writing this, you were watching repeats. He died in 2003.
"I'll watch it until I get old."
I'll watch it even when I am old
Many, many people already have.
Yes. Everyone is so nasty to everyone else now. The internet and social media has ruined us as human beings.
Yes I am starting to think that also😕
No people have always been this bad, it's just now you see it more
Exactly! Man you and I are smart! You wanna come over and we can watch friends, or...or play MW3 and eat pizza bites. I can ask my mom to pick you up
yeah especially in the comments. so many hateful things being said for absolutely no reason.
Being human living in the present day, we are not ruined, but demoralized by social media... Do not forget this when you wake up to a fresh new day, why not make new positive choices?
The nicest, most caring man who’s ever lived. We all need him
I know Mr. Rogers said we should “always look for the helpers,” but I still think we could use his guidance now more than ever. I’d love it if every episode were made available, either on a streaming service or, preferably, by airing the reruns on PBS Kids again.
If Mr. Rogers was alive, I don’t know if he could handle the way the world is headed now.
Fahd Halim He could because he’d see the good that’s still out there, and he’d fight for it.
well he doesn't need to, because if he was still here the world won't be like this
Fahd Halim he was doing a show in the mid and late 60’s. One of the most trying times in American history. Oh I think he could handle it. In fact, I think if the kids today watched Mr Rogers, there would be a lot more authentic compassion going around than we see now.
I'm sure he'd want HRC in prison.
Kelly Pagano well I grew up watching him. His land of make believe actually was made me realize in imagination
EVERY single Mr. Rogers video I watch makes my eyes misty. I'm 50 years old and I grew up watching this special man . I've come to realize how much of an impact this man had on me. You know who he reminds me of, minus the miracles? Yes. Right?
Who said he didn't do miracles? ;) Ever hear the story of how he talked to a comatose girl in the hospital and hearing his voice is what brought her back to consciousness? There's a video on TH-cam somewhere about it, it's a beautiful watch :')
Man the world needs people like him so much right now
I’m 13 years old and remember watching this and I’m crying 💕😭
He is needed far more then ever his series was just started
Im 25 and battling depression. I still watch his show to this day and I can say confidently it has impacted my mental health in such a positive light. His message of love was so pure and true and sometimes you just need to be reminded that you are in fact special and that you are loved. He was a good man and our world lost its last saint when he passed away.
Jessie, before you think of suicide, just remember, the world does have people like Mr. Rogers alive today, but most of us just can't see it within ourselves to do the right thing.
@@it3897 no you are a narc/sociopath, you are depressed because you are evil. She may have no one in her life to talk to.

The best thing I’ve ever heard.
I miss this.
When i grow up I want my kids to watch Mr. Rogers. We need him now more than ever, and he was just so incredibly pure
I cried watching these children watching the show.
I loved their input.
my favorite is the kid at the end asking "can I go now?"
I loved seeing how all the kids raised their hand at the end.
“Who’s this man” “that’s my heart, that’s my heart right there”
I can honestly say that I, as a child (before the hundreds of channels available today... back when there was only 3, and I had to use the little wheel in the panel box to tune in PBS),, would eagerly tune in PBS every day and watch in awe and wonder as I learned through his insperational lessons and calm, soothing demeanor. At 47 years now....I STILL sit and watch in awe and wonder! Today's generation truly NEEDS Mr. Rogers.
There will never be another Fred Rogers. One of the greatest people to ever live.
Mr. Rogers was a decent, compassionate, and loving individual who deeply cared about children. He addressed important issues with them including death, divorce, handicapped individuals, racial matters, etc. in an honest and straightforward manner that they could understand in order to allay their fears. I definitely would love to see a revival of this show on PBS or any other station which I'm sure many other parents would agree we could use right now. For me and for those of you who remember his show, I believe that sometimes simple is better. Our children need the kind of caring and loving values that he espoused on his show every single day.
We all could use Mister Rogers my dad said he was a great man and he still is up to this day
You do not get riches and fame in hollywood unless you sell your soul.
@@starlite556 uuuuuhhh.......no, you just need talent and connections. But whatever
The closest thing to an angel on earth, I think we DO need Mister Rogers more than ever!
He did his job, now we have to do ours.
God knew what he was doing … r.i.p. my favorite neighbor 😌🤞🏾
Best neighbor ever... Who break dances with the neighborhood's kids in the front lawn!!!
When I was little, my great grandparents used to take care of me during the day while my parents were at work and soon as I got there they would have breakfast ready for me and we'd watch Mr. Rogers. They've both passed now but I cherish those days I had with them. I'm not sure why but it's really hitting me hard now that all three of them have moved on.
Side note: I grew up in the same Pittsburgh neighborhood he lived in and my uncle told me the story of how Mr. Rogers once had his car stolen, but once the people who stole it discovered it was his car, they returned it immediately.
Lydia Campbell I get the feels reading what you shared. I am so glad you got to grow up with Mr. Rogers like I did. I lived near Pittsburgh. I grew up in WV. Lived there for 24 years. Pittsburgh has always been one of my favorite places in the world. I loved shopping there bc of no sales tax and I think that the three rivers are so beautiful. The airport is still my favorite airport. I hope they still have those displays of Mr. Rogers memorabilia. I never was able to get a good picture of them.
Amen, yes we need him and others like him more then ever.
I remember watching Mr Rogers at my grandparents house when I was little
Dude... Those kids are freaking precious. Just proves my point, everyone loves Mr. Rogers. No matter what generation
🤦♀️
I think if Mister Rogers could see the cultural and political climate today, knowing that many people in each category grew up watching him, would feel that maybe he failed.
He taught us to love and respect one another, but those values are nearly extinct today. He taught us to show kindness to each other, but today people are so quick to rush to anger.
He taught us to open our hearts to each other, but two people sitting on a bus next to each other today are so engrossed in their phones, that they don't realize that a new friend might be sitting right next to them, if only they would acknowledge them and say hello.
The attitudes we carry today, and the lack of love we have for each other now is an exact contradiction to what Mister Rogers taught our young minds so many years ago. I believe that with sadness, he would feel like he did his best to teach us good from bad, right from wrong, love from hate, and he might feel that he failed us. But that's not the way it is. WE failed him.
The world changed after his death, the housing market crashed, the big three car companies took huge bailouts, thousands of people lost their jobs in the recession that still grows to this day. And new families can't afford what their parents could. The world changed so while you see angry and turmoil, I see men and women fighting to create and preserve a better world for Americans
I'm not going to cry... :'(
@Martin Kuhn...he impressed and changed the world because he had true Faith in God, not perverted religion, all our morality and manners have been stripped away from everyone for the rights of the few who were offended by being taught right and wrong...morals and to love non judgmentally...to allow one another to live and let live. For the rights of Madeline O'Hare those of us who believed were tossed aside. Don't get me wrong...I believe if you don't wish to believe, are Pagan, Wicca, Atheist other religions have at it! What is wrong with the 10 Commandments...learning right from wrong and the love found in 1 Corinthians 13!? It's simply divisive hate. It's done nothing but drive us apart. As the Good book says...A house divided can not stand...believe as you see fit but do so as NEIGHBORS! God bless.
@@sylviayoung1901
You're blaming non-believers for the state of the world?
The reason Mr. Rogers has failed was because his worldview was inherently flawed. He believed that all people are pretty much equal, and that we can all live together in peace, but this is not true at all. Different groups have different behavior and different interests pertaining to which direction the country should go, so naturally there is bound to be deep conflict and division in a multiracial, multicultural society where people share no common bond except the land they live on. Frankly, it's just common sense that Indians, Chinese, Ugandans, Irish, etc. are very different in many more ways than physical appearance, and that one society can not meet the need and desires of such radically different people.
The kid at the end😂 "can I go now?"
We don’t need more people like him
We need to be more like him
I could always see Jesus in Mr. Rogers.
Amy Mullins This isn’t wrong...like, at all ❤️❤️
Jesus spoke though Fred Rogers
Amen me too Hallelujah!
Amen
It makes sense. I think part of his motivation was to create Christian friendly television. He was always welcoming and and many ways embodied the best of Jesus's lessons
Imagine mr rogers and keanu reeves in the same room
The world would have peace

I think we all who knew Mr. Rogers are glad that we could be his Neighbor
I remembered coming home after school and looking forward to watch his show, I love his greeting song and often sang it when I was down and it would cheer me up. He touches my heart and my childhood during times when I need comfort and a friend. Thankyou Mr. Roger for being there during my childhood, I will always remember you.
I was born is 2003, not long after he passed away. I remember watching reruns of his show all the time when I was small and it taught me so much. I learned how to tie my shoes and about death and other topics like it that usually nobody teaches us about as young children. For that I am truly grateful.
Hmmm, part of why a certain generation is calm, respectful, considerate, decent, contributing human beings. Thanks mom, dad, Mr. Rogers. And, cannot ignore my Pentacostal upbringing. As a child, I dreamed he was my neighbor. Where the other side of the fence, had fairly nice green grass. lol
Jan J Mr. Rogers was one of a kind when I was watching a show of his he would always teach me something one show it would teach me that it’s OK to cry be upset and another show helped me when my dog died because he talked about his dog dying I always had low self-esteem but in every show he always told me you’re special because you’re you and there’s only one of you
Josef Steiner - I agree w you, of course. If only more people could be like him. Imagine that world?
Jan J I would like to believe there are people like him in the world, but that there is so much evil it overwhelms the good.
Isn't that the same generation that have the world an election between Hillary and Trump? And then gave us Trump??? 😂 What are you smoking.
DDG - A peace pipe. Try it.. Lmao
There was a Fred Rogers stream on Twitch one day and my eleven year old son and I watched it all day. My eleven year old couldn't get enough of Mr. Rogers (and he has given up cartoons and "kids shows" as too little for him). He said that he liked that he was gentle and kind and that he talked to kids about things that they wanted to know about but that older people think they won't understand. Fred Rogers was a great man. And we do need someone like him now, someone who can speak to children about the tough stuff in a way that they can understand. One only needs to look at the current state of our country (the anger, the hate, the unforgiveness) to know that we need Mr Rogers.
That was part of what made him so incredible. He talked to kids about things that other adults didn't want to, and he didn't talk down to them. He used terms they could understand, but he never talked down to them. He respected them and he made them feel special. I'm glad I grew up as his neighbour.
“Won’t you be my neighbor”~Mr. Rogers~
Mr. Rogers thank you for putting hope and happiness in peoples hearts we will miss you.
Thanks for 5 likes this comment was a day after my birthday and my birthday is November 17
Yes, Fred Rogers is MUCH needed today, he represents the innocence lost that is so often spoken of. I grew up on Mr. Rogers neighborhood in the 60's, a lost world we'll never see again, and he was very much an essential part of that world! God bless you, Mr. Rogers....YOU Rock!!!
"I would watch it everyday, and I would watch it after that day"
"I would watch it every day--and I would watch it after that day. I would watch it until I get old." Beautiful, genuine response.
When the kids said they liked the show, that restored my faith in humanity.
That’s something you don’t hear every day.
