I'd bet the clothes on my back that “Mr Rogers” had *some* kind of secret.Nobody is *that* goodie two shoes from top to bottom.

I think “he” does too.

[Bob434]

everyoen that knew him said he was just like that off set- just a real decent man they say-

[kidd]

He was overweight in grade school and he was a vegetarian. That’s it.

He found joy in Jesus, America, his TV programs and helping young children. A mild-mannered guy with strong convictions.

I grew up watching him. I watched while my gmother took a nap. Back then there wasn’t much to see on TV as a kid with only 3 or 4 channels. I noticed little things, like he would walk in and change shoes and stuff and then finish singing his song just at the right time. I dont know why but that intro and timing fascinated me. I also had a Lionel train set down in the basement, with houses and trees and stuff. My dad probably messed with it more than I did, but seeing Mr Roger’s “neighborhood” was cool too. Dad and I would do to a real hobby shop and I was always getting him to buy a new house or building.

I detested his show when I was a kid as it was for a younger generation [mine was Captain Kangaroo] and was one of 5 things on, the rest being soap operas. So I’d watch that Cajun cooking guy, and see bits of Rogers’ excruciating show by accident while waiting for the Cajun to come on- the Cajun guy who always said “I GAR-ran-teee” and put sauterne wine in just about everything he cooked. I picked up a lot from him.

But I do vaguely remember Mister Rogers went way off the rails some years later and actually did a puppet skit on his show with “King Friday” trying to get nuclear weapons, or some such thing, so I guess he had by that time joined the nuclear freeze crowd.

Well, how about the time he taught kids how to give the finger.

Mister Rogers Giving Kids the Middle Finger

Poor Fred was totally clueless to what he was doing since he really was a decent guy.

Yea, you probably would...and it's depressing to even think you would make such a comment.

As time goes on, I'm more inclined to believe that FR has devolved to the point that it is hosting the worst of conservatism.........

[Boogieman]

Well, he had a degree in music and was friends with jazz musicians. I bet he was hitting those doobies!
