Mr. Rogers' viewpoint was only so compassionate because he knew the love of Jesus and he sought to look through Jesus's eyes. Mr. Rogers always reminded me of the compassion of a Sunday school teacher who loved his children dearly.
Anyone who thinks Mr. Rogers was anything other than the very highest embodiment of everything that America stands for, needs to take a serious look at their own beliefs.
And his show was only possible on PBS. Imagine the crayon episode bookended by "and you can pick up the new fall colors pack, only at wal-mart". Free enterprise is not always the best way to do things.
Just came from Idlewild Park. What a magical place...The neighborhood of Make Believe, at the park. Very much like the one on TV. Fred Rogers is an incredible man. Would have loved to have been able to sit down and talk to him. He made our world a better place. Thanks Fred!!!
Great guy, but his progressive ideas of the government running the education system, especially on a public TV channel, is something that the founders of the United States were against.
I agree with you. Just because he used public television doesn't mean that it couldn't have been done better privately, had he met the right private broadcaster at the time.
I dunno, it's not like that kind of reaction was anything new at this end of his life. Mr. Rogers was always very emotional about the kinds of messages he saw in media - remember, he was horrified in the same way when he turned on a TV for the first time and saw the Three Stooges.

A pure soul. Very rare. With all his influence on future generations, his peaceful message seems to be lost today.

I bet the founders would have been even more appalled by a single afternoon of watching Nickelodeon.

But good luck getting any traction on that.

@peptopro17 In that case, the founders of the United States were wrong.

lol, Great guy but it seems like he really lost it towards the end unfortunately. He was a great man! We could sure use more like him now on tv...
