Like many people, I had the same quirky humorous bent regarding Mr. Rogers...as I have got older, I realize what he was.

Just a nice, quiet guy.

But I do admit to still laughing at Eddie Murphy doing his version...:)

I never watched his show, but no one can get through this life without having seen a clip or two somewhere.

He seemed genuinely nice. Sad to say that’s evidently so unusual we all noticed that ‘just a nice guy’ behavior was actually refreshing.

He’s got to have moved on to a higher sphere.

Kind of ironic that Murphy turned out to be the gay one.

True story. Mr. Rogers and Eddie Murphy accidentally met eachother at a charity even about 15 years ago. Eddie was actually in awe of Fred and ended up hugging him.

"Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood" was quite funny, but the real deal was evidently an important part of Eddie's childhood.
