MISTER ROGERS' NEIGHBORHOOD | Mister Rogers Votes | PBS KIDS

[nannetta]

I was on Mister Rogers Season 18 Episode 14. I think it aired in 88. I worked for Bell Helmets and Mr. McFeely brought Mister Rogers a Video on the making of Bicycle helmets. After that episode aired every episode thereafter a helmet was worn if anyone was riding a bike. I was the quality control inspector for the helmet line he had filmed. Met him.. and he was a very nice man!

[TacticalWithMe]

that gave me a head ache

[wonderaware]

lol@ the people using a computer to watch youtube and say that the voting machine is complicated. I'm sure if you used it once you would understand that machine,

[sorcerer2001]

thumbs up if you have a baby on your lap

[DaJoGaming]

Stomach cancer sucks... r.i.p

[TheEgyptoi]

He was such a nice guy they still aired in the early 2000s r.i.p

[tennisguyky]

Can you upload some full episodes of the rare 1970s Mister Roger's Neighborhood episodes that I and so many others grew up with, the 1968-1975 ones? I haven't seen them in so long!

[tedmerr]

@tennisguyky amazon.com has a lot of them you can watch for really low prices

[MissMiaaBrown]

Good times on this show

[shindin7]

like if epic rap battles brought you here

[ChristianoCult]

Mr. Rogers was the BEST i Love Him!!! Sunday mornings at 6:30am people!!!

[Jumbofry]

see how easy voting is? LMAO@ 2:00

[stylemasterrr]

fred had #swag. he would change outfits just to chill at the house. lol

[ForgottenSoul700]

A little bit of my childhood died when he died.

[wtfd00d08]

too cool. 

[1958boomergirl]

I'd like to get the segment that has the song "I Like To Be Told" in it simply because I love the message in that song & I can't find it in the YouTube library. Where do I look? What category do I look under?

[TheAxe4Ever]

To anyone who wants to make this or any other video about this asounding, compassionate man, a political soap box, shame on you. We need more Fred Rogers in the world. A kind, caring man who is sorely missed. Remember, President Bush awarded Fred Rogers the Presidential Medal of Freedon. The highest honor a civilian can recieve. Even President Bush loved Fred Rogers work. Mr. Rogers, you are always and forever in our hearts. You helped me through hard times when I was a child. God Bless you.

[pyramidhead138]

i never really liked mr. rogers, everytime his show came on i always thought "When is this gonna be over?" XD

[TheRenard10]

I Bgan watching Mister Rogers' n 1989. What I njoyed about his show is n the opening, the neighborhood model, trips he went on. Also he would sing songs like the 1 I miss hearing is "I'm interested n things". May 1991 I like first heard that 1 from a 1972 episode. His show was 2 keep on airing 4 33 years. he'd shown his TV neighbors there was more they'd like 2 discuss. N the late 70's his show took a hiatus. I was born n '78. He revived his show the next year. Upset my birth year unshown.

[KLRwashere]

@TheRenard10 Mr. Rogers did sing meaningful songs. I think I liked all of them, like "You are my friend you are special...", "There are Many ways to say I love you", and of course the theme song, "Its a beautiful day in the neighborhood."

[dadadruma]

If we had loving caring people like this man who gave his life showing children its ok to feel how they feel, we just may see a turnaround in not only our country but entire world

[KIDFRESH1592]

I use to watch this show all the time this was real educational show we will all miss MR ROGERS

[FrontalTraction]

At 3:55 he says no but votes yes. This is what makes the show so good. It's all unscripted.

[coashddjj2]

Mr. Rogers, I miss you!!

[sqweebs2]

I remeber this from when I was LITTLE and I mean LITTLE i was only like 2 or 3

[mph20000]

Mr. Rogers demonstrates the "hanging chads" with machines years before the Bush election.

[Nospherith]

Mr. Rogers was totally down with the chib

[CamusTheDark]

I prefer the last time I went to vote, they handed me a slip of paper and I just filled in the circles I wanted : /

Like one of those tests they make you take in grade school.

[Vegiwoman]

@CamusTheDark Scan-trons I remember them too

[MVBDProductions]

I used to wake up at 5'o clock in the morning just to watch this.

[WonderNoobie]

such a calming show

since i didnt have cable i would wake up in the middle of the night in the summer when i was a kid half asleep and just sit on the couch staring calmly/mindlessly into the tv at this show.

Good stuff.

[maclovindotca]

I am surprised they had computer voting in the 1970s, especially when it was that complicated. It would take me a full 3 minutes to vote for everyone with all of the options there.

My favourite part is they actually admit there is a problem with the voting machine instead of trying to hide it.

[owensed01]

voting was complicated in the 70s

[Wafaloo]

this is actually what we use up where I live in NY, but I daresay it's slightly less complex then this. but wtf? elections for coroners???

[lovemuffin1963]

If kids watched shows like this now there would not be so many in trouble,

[Temptations41]

u know i never thought about it until now, but i really do miss him

[Wellch]

Those voting booth made you feel more secure without anyone looking over your shoulders.

[Paulywint]

@Wellch Very true

[sciencefreak2500]

are there DVDs of Mister Rogers Neighborhood?

[kalevala818]

i'm not american but i did spend a substantial part of my upbringing in america. watching mr rogers was practically a daily ritual after grade-school after being taunted day after day after another for being the 'donger' or the 'foreign kid.' mr rogers helped me understand the most little things about american culture that a child should know and taught me the virtues an upright man should have and that i am today. it's a shame we don't see these kind of shows around anywhere no more...

RIP...

[originalfilmmaker]

PBS do you happen to have more pre-79 episodes like this one with voting clip from 1974? I think alof of people would like see those get stream online. Make-Believe on this week was about the Purple Planet Paul Pauline. I can see purpose of posting this video on voting for election thanks.

[TheFX37]

"and remember kids, always vote for the republican. Even if he is a jackass."

[jake75891]

i like this video

[AM8605]

Mister Rogers always showed us very cool things. My Favorite thing about Mister Rogers is when he when and showed us things that were only make believe like The Incredible Hulk and showed us it wasn't real only pretend. I love you Mister Rogers thank you for letting my childhood be a little easier on me and loving me for the way I am you will always be my neighbor.

[juannie88]

2:56 That thing looks complicated. Wouldn't a printed copy and a pen have been more easier?

[juannie88]

2:56 That thing looks complicated

[TAMR213]

lol, how would you vote for a write-in candidate?

[PhatFarm60]

Wow! Imagine the controversy if they started using THAT machine in West Palm Beach. Holy cow! Flying a 737 is less complicated than that thing!

[mikeygeneral]

Obama

[Cenamark2]

Mr. Rogers was a good man. I'll bet he voted Republican.

[hilby]

@Cenamark2 Are you kidding, Jimmy Carter was like Mr. Rogers if he got into the Presidential office.

[RHMETAL]

Use to watch this all the time. Miss it. Good times.

[ricktv2009]

Wow! Classic! I don't know why, but this was funny. Brings me back to a strange time. Captain Kangaroo? Mr. Green Jeans? Howdy Doody?????? Weird times, man.

Now, here is your pass to more thrills and adventure on YouTube, (ricktvpass).

[brettfoshager]

What happened to this show? It's not on anymore.

[xenakiddle]

@brettfoshager, PBS made the decision to remove it from their daily lineup! Ironic, considering there would be no PBS if not for Fred Rogers.

[OfficialArmonist]

@brettfoshager Probably because it taught children morals and values in a way they could understand. They're taking off all the good shows nowadays.

[outsp0k3nmime]

Mr. Rogers made my adolescence amazing.

[debit256]

hes so young in this video

[Cats29]

More!!!!

[Cats29]

Please post more classic clips

[cocobutter1983]

wont you be my neighbor!!!!! i remember being 5 or 6 and addicted to mr Rogers Neighborhood I remember wanting to marry him lol I loved his show

[DJisthebest1]

hell yea me too man

[lahamttt123]

Those who don't know how to use a voting machine should be required to watch this video before voting.

[KarateKidX]

@lahamttt123 realize that not all voting machines are identical

[lahamttt123]

Isn't it amazing that Mr Rogers could explain a voting machine to small children years ago, but today, adults with college educations don't know how to use todays voting machines. WOW

[TheGuyNamedCris]

I met this guy in pittsburgh where i lived.

[OrMush]

holy fudge that's how ppl used to vote?

[darkrai3450]

:o(

[wyecee]

Where's Mister Rodgers? PEEK-A-BOO, behind his fish aquarium.

[92bby]

i love this show

[mineohno]

lol

It's a bit weird that when kids watched this when it aired, by the time they're old enough to vote, the machine has changed incredibly (due to technology)

So....this video is kinda pointless lol.

But I always loved Mr Rogers when I was growing up. RIP

[limpxander]

korn - mr.rogers

[vladovu]

Jesus Christ! This is SCARY! Generations of Americans grew up watching THIS??!!!!!!??!?!!!? And they have nuclear weapons, too! We're all screwed... :D :D :D :D

[mooky9669]

classic old voting machine from a classic episode of Mr. Rogers...thanks for sharing this!

[NeonDinoRoar]

Holy Crap ! i use to LOVE Mr.Rogers ! i can barely remmeber what happened in the show though. i know he had that Trolley Train toy thingy. & that mr.rogers was old. hmm...

[magickid777]

I think I may have watched his show a couple of times... I wish that I had watched more... :(

[TeslaDRay]

this could have been helpful in 2000 lol

mr. rogers was cool.

[brickmastur]

I love Mr. Rogers

[hippys6991]

So do I.

[pricefan87]

Some users deleted Mister Rogers' episodes due to copyright claim by Family Communications, inc.

[crazyoverchristian1]

i used to watch him when i was younger i would watch him everyday. i miss him

[mooky9669]

same here..one of my favorite shows as a kid and everyone's favorite neighbor!

[SimonLy90]

All the cartoon characters they watch nowadays look like they are strung out on meth. But those dolls were pretty creepy

[Flashmikko]

Gosh, I miss Mr. Rogers.... I used to watch his show all the time.... I wish that children nowadays had someone on television to talk to them at their level.

[juannie88]

@Flashmikko I know. I would watch this every weekday after pre-school and kindergarten. I'm gonna have to buy dvds of this for my own kids. Mr. Roger's show told the truth about things. And, he never led us on to believe that something was real when it was fake. He even brought his puppets to the house.

[wrtlpfmpf]

I think this is one of the best pieces on voting computers. I mean the main critisism of them is apparent there. Althought you can switch around on all of those switches as much as you'd like, there's no way an average person could find out if this computer is working or not.

[scampbell04]

Mr. Rogers was so soothing and calming as a kid...now kids shows just wind a kid up even more...and we wonder why they all have ADHD.

[insanityoverbacon]

there is no way anyone nowadays would be able to understand how the hell to use that

[ascheier]

No kidding dude.

[CiscoWes]

You're right! I can remember my parents using these kinds of voting booths. Loooooong time ago. haha

[eymazeiing23]

dude i remember watchin this when i was little =/ i miss it!!!!! mr. rogers was awesome.

[tedmerr]

I miss these old voting machines. The mew electronic ones are easily hacked.

[frankiegfunk]

it's obvious texas guy here is against obama, he's typing and he would have corrected the spelling

[texas81supporter]

elections are rigged why u think osama i mean obama is prez

[migkillertwo]

is that jack nicholson?

[shufleman]

who cares what he is he is still my idol

he was the nicest guyin the world

we will all miss him because of what he did

[brownoncrack]

Mr. Rogers was one of my favorite shows when i was a kid. He was so happy and cheerful, while teaching a lesson everyday that all of my family would enjoy. He was one of my favorite people of all time and an inspiration to many.

I thank God he was born, so that he could effect so many lives that he did.

Rest in peace Mr. Rogers

[ORUPRANKSTAZ]

He was flipping the wrong switches.

And that machine is freakin' huge! Of course, they hadn't miniaturized transistors the way we have now. So a computer still had to be largely mechanical in operation.

I love how Mr. Rogers would always tell you what to expect next.. like "Okay. I'm going to push this button and then this will occur."

That man was (obviously) extremely gifted with children, and quite an outstanding pianist. One of my favorite memories from his show was watching him play.

[etolly1977]

wow, voting machines came a long ways, i never seen one like that

[srt4g]

at 3:06 he almost breaks his hand

[Stevenup7004]

O_o.. that looks terribly complicated..

[craniumkazzo]

What a great man.

[lazrul]

mr rogers rules. that though is the worst voting machine of all time. seems like voting machines have been a huge scam forever.

[barrelracer1983]

takes more than 3 min now

[barrelracer1983]

not how I voted.

[MYJESUSROCKS]

mr rogers was not a republican....and i like mr rogers and penelope too

[belltownboy2012]

Coroner? Am I the only one who finds that a little scary?

I hope Mr. Rogers was a Republican.

[shostokavich]

I was amused the first time I voted to find out that it is an elected, partisan position; how would a democrat handle perform differently from a republican?

[iced116]

i jumped at 0:23

[iced116]

aahh someone help me

[falloutboysgrl]

mr rogers is sooooooooooooo young in this!

[discomusic]

Thanks for posting,do they use these anymore? i hope not it looks scary!

[ashcatash5]

Even back then, the voting machines had problems!! :-)

[Steve197201]

Man, that voting machine looks scary! When the curtains close, it looks like it's gonna gobble you up and spit you out! Not to mention, it looks pretty complicated. I'm glad we just have a card and magic marker where I vote.

[SarekOfVulcan]

I just showed my daughters this one: they've never seen a voting machine before. In retrospect, I'm horrified that I trusted those monsters...

[leerwesen]

"Here kids; this is the rigging chip!"

[dfco74]

Has any one ever seen the episode where Rogers is discussing assisinations? Its a very strange but interesting show dealing with John Lennon and Ronald Reagan. The show is about a walking talking tree that is murdered.

[UnkleBackwards]

@dfco74 I have been looking for that episode.  Glad I'm not the only one who remembers that.

[cllewis1]

I remember going into a booth like this with my mom in the mid-80's in Nashville. By the 90's, Nashville had computerized machines where you pushed a button beside your candidate, and a little red LED lit up showing your vote...then you just pushed the green "vote" button to cast your ballot. Obviously this was mechanical- but did it punch a paper ballot or something?

[happy7117]

I wonder if Fred and that helper of his actualy used that voting machine to vote for someone??

[happy7117]

What a mature concept for kids to learn in a non-threatning, easy to understand way.

Voting machines have that lever to pull back though. That's the machine that I used when me and MANY others voted last Tuesday.

If Fred was alive, I wonder who he would have voted for on election day??

I wonder if that ep. was taped on an election day in the US.

[nnayar]

This is cool. Heck, I didn't even learn this until senior yr of high school

[TheSpriteMonster]

Rogers/McFeely '08!

[TheKreator03]

I just got sad as hell watching this...RIP Mr. Rodgers,you were a really swell dude. The only guy I know who could have a stoplight in his living room and not get arrested for it. lol

[ninehunid]

wow

[DirectorDCHenry]

RIP

[PowerRizer]

OMG I LOVE MISTER ROGERS... WELL I USED TOO... wen i was a kid... yea...

[lvidmar]

"It's ALL part of the machine..." Heh.

Do any states still use things like this?

[Permaglo]

I'd rather use this thing than those screwy electronic machines.

[fwbh]

What episode is this? I don't remember it.

[DigitalArchivist]

Its from show 1359. I think its last broadcast was May 21, 1992. Great video thanks for the upload!

[AdmiralGreenscreen]

wow, how many episodes sis he have? I know it went way back but I guess I just never thought about it.

[anmoose]

Wow! This sure goes back. As voyeurdug said, Fred Rogers WAS a National treasure, and with memories like this, he'll never be forgotten.

It's amazing to be reminded of relics from our past technology. That machine was, in its day, the "ultimate."

[citizentube]

great video

[voyeurdug]

Fred Rogers... a national treasure.
