I love Mr Rogers bags take note women love him... Do you not like Sears either, before your time this man helped a lot of people with all kinds of problems through his TV show...Hey when you are down and out nothing better than Mr Rogers and Winnie the Pooh to give you comfort... Now that you mention it, DAVEY, I couldn't STAND Winnie the Poo either. That VOICE wore me out. And a little fat bear that lived in a three acre wood with a little boy for a buddy? And he never did ANYTHING cool. Also a ripoff of the Wind in the Willows, which I did like.
The only saving grace for stupit Pooh was this;
He Came to Me Asking Help and Advice.
And I just didn't get Mr Rogers and had a natural aversion to him. A wispy semi or fully gay Uncle of a man in a sweater with, again, that VOICE, just didn't do it for me.
You just can't raise a generation of John Waynes on something like that. We need our Bugs Bunnies, Daffys, Porkies, and the boys.
If you think about it, Mr Rogers and Teletubbies just may be responsible for the nation of wimps we are currently burping to sleep at night, with their safe spaces and dress-up ninja costumes.
You girls go head on with your Mr. Rogers. No harm can come of that, unless you lose your appreciation for real men, which I suppose is possible. And by you I don't mean YOU personally, DAVEY. I mean the "collective consciousness", to go all Zen on ya. Us men will meet you girls around back of the gym at the sock hop.
So anyway, that's my philosophy on Mr Rogers and Winnie the Pooh. Also, I have recently become wary of people who make children their professional "calling". Quite often, that doesn't turn out well, or so I've heard.

p.s. Just how old do you think I am, DAVEY. I remember Mr Rogers quite well. Don't let my immaturity fool ya. I do have about three gray hairs in my luscious locks. True story.

*****I have no idea how old you are. LoL. I am 62 and I have learned to agree to disagree...
Not all things are for all people BUT you have to respect the good Mr Rogers has to his credit, that’s all.
I can go go along with razzing anyone believe me...
Watch Mr Rogers before Congress middle of this page...
How Emotional Intelligence Landed Mr. Rogers $20 Million
If your project needed $20 million in funding and you had to send someone to appear before the US Senate to get it, would you choose Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer or the beloved children’s television show host Fred “Mr.” Rogers? I imagine most people would choose Ballmer for his energy, experience closing big deals, and, more importantly, his aggressive go-getter style. Mr. Rogers, on the other hand, was mild-mannered, talked slowly, and the epitome of the nice-guy approach. It’s easy to think his gift was communicating with children, not adults. It’s easy to assume he had no place in the world of money, power, and influence. It’s easy to be mistaken. In 1969, Fred Rogers addressed the Senate for a mere six minutes and ensured $20 million in funding for PBS. How’d he do it? With authenticity and emotional intelligence.
Anyone who is authentic and emotionally intelligent can use this to have great influence over others. When used to influence others, emotional intelligence requires knowing your strengths and your present emotional state (self-awareness); knowing how to manage the moment you are in (self-management); knowing what’s important to your audience and how they’ll perceive your message (social awareness); and knowing how to forge a connection with decision makers (relationship management). These skills can be developed individually through simple practice.
On the 1st of May in 1969, Mr. Rogers addressed the Senate to argue that $20 million in funding for PBS should not be cut. John Pastore, the Senator from Rhode Island who led the hearing, had never seen nor hear of Mr. Rogers’ television show. It took Mr. Rogers just six minutes to convince the gruff and impatient Senator from Rhode Island that the $20 million was well worth it.
