Can you say “Ai haz a nawt sekkunt”? I knew you could!!!
too bad freddie’s dead.
I’ll second that.
And won’t you be my neighbor?
sure.
can you say that? “sure?”
I knew you could.
Oh, someone’s at the door… it’s Mr. McFeely. He probably has my package from Frederick’s.
Ha! Robin Williams FTW!
Would this not be a fail on Mr. Rogers’ part?
What fail?
Other than critically failing his breathing check.
“Trying to get people to get along since 1968.”
Do I need to explain why that’s a fail?
Yes you do.
i think … is trying to say if he’s been trying to get ppl to get along since ’68 and hasn’t been able to do so then he must not be doing a very good job.
however, considering there are people born everyday there’s always a new crop of people to teach manners to.
He’s been trying well enough.
It’s the people who fail for not getting along.
Yes.
Hey, even that Jesus dude had to wait a half dozen decades after He had died for people to write down the word-of-mouth stories that had been passed around about Him, and about another couple hundred of years before living by His teachings wasn’t considered a capital crime.
Give Mr. Rogers a little more time before proclaiming his fail.
“Can’t we all just get along???”.
I read a top 10 reasons why Mr Rogers is awesome a while back. One of the reasons is that he makes thieves second think: one time his car got stolen and it was on the news. The next day the car was returned to where it was stolen with a note, “If we knew this car was your’s we wouldn’t have taken it.”
That is awesome.
LOL!
We need more folks like that gentle minister.
RIP, Mr. Rogers…. =(
I love Mr. Rogers. He gave hugs with his words and tone of voice. He didn’t have the kind of voice that would get him on American Idols or anything like that, but I would rather listen to him than anybody on the charts. Not a hint of sarcasm, impatience or insincerity about him. He was an intelligent and multitalented person, and I am grateful that he shared the gift he had for making others feel important and loved.
I remember reading about how fundies were trying to get him to denounce gays and all he said to the gays was “God loves you just the way you are.”
Too bad necromancy would make him a hideous and rotting abomination or I might learn some to bring him back…
I completely second that. I would add more here, but there’s nothing else to add.
Same here. His show was awesome. I watched it every chance I got.
Another reason Mr Rogers is awesome: He won the ultimate showdown (of ultimate destiny).
He had a special ability to make everyone feel like they mattered.
I caught a bit on PBS a couple nights ago of an interview with the young boy (Now man) who was confined to a wheelchair – his biggest wish before a major surgery was to meet Mr. Rogers. He ended up a special guest on the show, and he said he remembered how kind & gentle Mr. Rogers was, and how he didn’t see the disabilities but the person within. They sang a song about his “special chair.”
I sincerely wish there were more Fred Rogerses in this world. We sorely need them.
I wrote him a letter when I was about five, and he wrote back. It was such a nice thing to do. He’ll always be a champ in my book.
They ended the caption too soon. “And failing” should be at the end. The only thing that could make people get along in the 60′s (and now) is drugs.
Lucy in the Sky with Diiiiiamonds!
If Mr. Rogers is put out on DVD, I’m buying it.
Ditto, I have a four year old son who could use some wholesome programming to go along with the Bruce Lee and Godzilla movies he watches from my collection.
did you know that every single sweater he wore on the show was knitted by his grandmother? and the reason he wore the sweaters was to cover his tattoo-sleeved arms…he was a badass when he was in the military. He was a sniper and got a tattoo for every target he killed. That’s why Mr. Rogers is awesome.
Sorry. That’s just an urban legend.
aw boo.
i think we should all just get along… in other words shut up all you idiots who dont like mr.rogers!
I cried when he died, and I was way past the age to watch his show. He was my favorite. More than Barney (he scared me) or anyone else. He helped to fill out a fatherly roll in my life I never had. I cried like the child I was when I watched him, and I’m man enough to admit it, I’m not ashamed. I loved Mister Rogers. He was my hero back then. I’ll miss him forever.
Fred Rogers made anyone feel loved and special. He didn’t have to have to special gimmicks, just him and the neighborhood of make believe. As i grew older I started to watch less and less of his show but when i heard he died, i went into my collection of videotapes and found what i was looking for, a recorded copy my mom had me when i was little. It was the episode where we neighbors got to see how a harmonica was made, and I watched it at least 10 times that week. The simple changing of suits to cardigans , who knew it could have the effect to make you feel at ease, i wished he was my neighbor, if i could go and hang out with King Friday the XII and the other that would be awesome
I used to love Mr. Rogers:)
