When I think of Mr. Rogers, I think of his swimming episode. Yowsa.
When I was a child I did not like him. Even though I was shy, I felt he was too into scared shyness. He was always trying to make kids scared of everything feel comfortable. It was over the top. I chose not to watch when it was on our tv.
But of course sometimes it was on (in reruns I guess) when I started having kids. I remember one time I was in the kitchen and son was in the family room watching, and Mr. Rogers took the camera into his shower with him. There he was topless under the water. Ohhhh kayyyyy, where is he going with this?? Then he takes his cameraman with him into the pool at the YMCA. Dives in, and the underwater camera pans lovingly up and down his fit body in his tight speedo suit. I remember leaving the kitchen to come get a closer look. Why do these kids need to see what is basically their friend Mr Rogers naked in a pool, muscles glistening???
I know he did a great lady voice and cat voice and all, but do the kids need to see a camera slide up every contour of his toned body?
Sooo glad I missed that one! Yeesh!
The way you describe it, Mr. Rogers turns you on.
Me, I got a thing for Barney the dinosaur.

see my post 62.
Odd that he would do that.
There is only one kind of person who would do that.
