So apparently Fred Rogers Productions just started a new YouTube channel where they'll be uploading every episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood

Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood

Welcome to the official Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood YouTube channel! For more than 30 years, Mister Rogers created a relationship with millions of children, each of whom felt like they were visiting with a trusted friend. The program continues to help children and parents navigate complex emotions through kindness and curiosity. This channel aims to spark wonder and imagination through full episodes, classic Mister Rogers songs and moments, factory visits, musical performances, and much more. It’s a caring place where you are respected, where your feelings matter, where you can laugh and play, and where you are reminded every day that you are special just by being you.

Good.

Turn away from Trump's "Beggar Thy Naigbbor" economic policies that are favoring oligarchs.

Turn away from Putin & Netanyahu's "Murder thy Neighbor" policies that are favoring billionaires.

@squishymage42 Let's see if WGBH runs copyright strikes against them... :(

@squishymage42 maybe somebody can put it on the archive

@squishymage42 what a wonderful day in the neighborhood!

Will Trump declare it "woke" and demand removal?

@squishymage42 OH SHIT I REMEMBER THE CRAYONS ONE

@beaiouns I had such a smile seeing that one in the initial batch! That image of crayons rising from the molds after they scrape the excess has been in my brain for ages.

@squishymage42 To quote Mr Rogers "Fuck yeah!" 😜

@squishymage42 I watched a bunch of eps of it years ago online and my favorite thing as an adult is watching his interactions with other adults when he travels to another location, because he basically tried to ask them the types of questions a child would ask, and some of his tour guides understood he was asking on behalf of kids and some of them seemed really confused as to why this grown man filming with them was asking mid tour if lighthouses have bathrooms or whatever

Alex Keane 12h ago

@kib Yeah, and never asking like it's "the dumb question I have to ask, because of the kids"

kib shot j.r.11h ago

@squishymage42 he's so sincere with how he asks that I kinda can't blame people for thinking they're his questions, man was just a master at his craft

@squishymage42 "What would Fred Rodgers do" is a pretty good way to live your life.

@squishymage42 Yaaaaaay!

So I actually heard his show's theme song in a commercial yesterday, and I was incredibly disheartened. 😩

@arisummerland I watched the making of video for that Lady Gaga commercial and it was cool that even though there's this realtor commercial thing, the music people still put love and feeling into doing the song right.

@squishymage42 I'm watching the first episode for the first time in over 40 years.

It's... spectacular. It's run on a tiny budget, but it's deeply imaginative.

I would so want to run this with a conversation alongside, so that everyone can react to Mister Rogers.

Alex Keane 5h ago

@Chip_Unicorn Oh, now you've given me the idea to break out the projector and invite over the friend with a kid the same age as mine to have a watch along

Chip Unicorn 2h ago

@squishymage42
Do it! It's wonderful, imaginative, and so relaxing.

@squishymage42 @Chip_Unicorn some people just want to see the world learn.

This is SO MUCH WIN.

The world NEEDED a W so bad. 🥹

@squishymage42 @mpjgregoire We SO need Mr. Rogers in these times.

Bruce Toews 5h ago

@technocounselor Mr. Rogers would have approved of that.

@squishymage42 @jdarnold I think this is excellent considering how the orange clown's administration is gutting PBS.

A-MAZING.

I have a collection of the episodes through "less than ideal means" because they haven't released them on DVD. This is a godsend.

@squishymage42 @boogiechild I would be so up for a Mr. Rogers marathon. Maybe a week-long one.
