My parents didn’t like Mr. Rogers. I didn’t understand why, it was all so innocent (looking!). Took a long time to figure out the problem was it made it seem ok to go into an eccentric older single man’s house who plays with dolls.
It was a simpler day, but not THAT much simpler. My brother and I had been lured into a mans house to “watch movies” just a couple of years before that when we were very little.
Yeah, that was always the vibe I got from him. Get away from corporate media for a while, then look at it, and they're an odd bunch.

I didn’t like him either. My youngest son liked him because he seemed “calm” lol. But no matter the explanation, I could never get over Mr McFeely. I mean for cryin’ out loud they could have used Mr McAnythingelse.
