Mr. Rogers Interview

[gowalkingathinline]

Mr Rogers had amazing insight into how children perceived the world around them.

However, its seems that no matter how long we live there's a bit of the young child still in us.

His comments about death also apply to all of us so called "adults." No one wants to be left behind with no one to care for them.

[TheJamal46409]

how did maury povich go from this to the baby mamma drama ? *smh*

[2codyharris]

i was born in 1996 so i dont have a connection to him

[HazelBombs]

You hate Mister Rodgers, you can fuck in hell.

[almostdeadgirl14]

i didnt have a dad till i was 8 and mr rodgers was like a father figure to me

[ZBomb1234]

he war an awesome dude. i still own 2 of the seasons and im 18

[l3igts]

it's ok to feel sad sometimes lol!

[sonny12100]

Look up epic rap battles of history 13 Mr. Rogers wins the battle in an epic way! so may references in that video im sure you guys will like it :D

[Calflym]

I love just how selfless he is, he even tries to make the interviewer feel special.

[Nominay]

this is obviously a bygone era in Americana and if you weren't alive then you're unlikely to get what was standard behavior then and why. To me 1986 was the last great year of a conservative America, socially. It began to erode after that. I long for that spirit now missing.

[PleaseDrinkMeAlice]

No one can replace Mr Rogers, I miss watching him on TV !

[govermentufo]

i herd he was a sniper ,, befor his shows ...

[42prolly]

@govermentufo He wasn't.

[mojame100]

Today he would be called "too Conservative" in todays out of controll media,

[AthynKronos]

@mojame100 Uh, no, no he wouldn't.

[mojame100]

@AthynKronos Yeah I think he would, Well you can always bring back the neighborhood staring Jeremy Clarkson!

[catgirl2016]

Can't believe it's been 9 years since he died! I can still remember watching him as a kid with my dad. We both love him. They need more shows like Mr. Rogers now days, instead of some of the junk they put on now! R.I.P. Mr. Roger, an amazing man who the world will never find one like him ever again! ♥

[Pic929]

2 people are not happy in their neighbourhood

[DimebagsZombie]

I don't really care for Fred Rogers, but he has my respect because it was with him that George A. Romero started out with.

[desertblackout]

no mr roger i loved seeing u when i was a kid i still watch ur videos even thought im 24 LONG LIVE FRED ROGERS

[ghosterbuser1212]

i loved his show i never got it cuz i was like 5 or something but i loved the cat and the train i never got the show but i just loved the imagination place

[777HaZeY777]

DUDE HE'S A FUCKING SERIAL KILLER!

[Carots420]

I'm gonna find the one person that disliked this video and I'm gonna teach him how to be a good neighbor.

[ther57]

@Carots420 that was me ! :)

[1958boomergirl]

We didn't have cable TV when I was growing up; we didn't get "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood". I watched samples of his show later as an adult just for the fun of it, and the best part I liked was when he sang the song "I Like To Be Told", especially when he'd talk about what to expect when going to the doctor / dentist or whatever. It felt like my soul was getting nourished.

[shadowak10]

I remember the last time I saw Mr Roders, didn't miss a show...

[MangaIpod]

I always imagened him as my Grandpa. Id on't know if that's creepy, but he taught me so much

[HotHeadVegeta]

God will u Give us Mr. Rogers too if we give u justin vomit and the jonas dorks and hannah dung plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzz

[BlackWithEvil]

@HotHeadVegeta hahahahahaha Justin Bieber Jonas Bros and Hannah Montana, we will trade you for Mr. Rogers?

[yourpalboots]

Hey, I originally uploaded this exact video a couple of years ago (as evidence of the audio gap in the beginning), but it was taken down for copyright reasons. Weird that someone copied it and reuploaded it.

[D29418]

Oh the influence this man had (and still has). If you have not aleady done so, watch how he silences the elite of Hollywood in his acceptance speech of the Life-Time Achievemnet Award (youtube.com/watch?v=Upm9LnuCB­UM&feature=related). Then watch him has his way in a Congressional hearing (youtube.com/watch?v=yXEuEUQIP­3Q). His speech "What do you do with the mad that you feel...." is pure epic

[D29418]

Ever notice how almost nobody ever calls him by his first name - and certainly never by just his first name? He will always be Mister Rogers

[lsadfhas3245]

Fred Rogers show off those tatoos from the marine corp as a sharpshooter in the Vietnam War...

[rocketdude1979]

@lsadfhas3245 Mr. Rogers wasn't a sharpshooter in 'Nam, he was already on TV during 'Nam disproving this urban legend. He was born in 1928 making him already over 30 when the Vietnam War started in 60's (his show started in the 50's) and almost 50 when the war totally ended in 1975.

[katfredricksdottir]

@rocketdude1979 Fred Rogers was a Presbyterian minister. He was also a vegetarian.

[katfredricksdottir]

@lsadfhas3245 Urban legend.

[TacticusPrime]

How can anyone not love this man?

[MrHugorocks]

I TURN 25 APRIL 2010 I WAS A 90'S KID AND I GREW UP WATCHING MR ROGERS NEIGHBERHOOD I LUV THAT SHOW THANX 4 EVERYTHING MR ROGERS RIP

[Hashplant47]

A man of true civility, grace and politeness. 

[screwaccounts]

Like Mr. Rod Serling once said, I think "...a man loved by children, and therefore, a very special man...".

[btez31]

Truly one of the greatest people that has ever been on television

[kap42]

Great interviewing by Gary Collins.

[auggiedoggy]

@kap42 : Gary and Fred were two class individuals in the TV industry. We could use more people like them today.

[datafreak667]

fred SO MELLOW i bet he steals rittalin from children ok i know rittalin ist that old

[obed1g1]

I love Mr Rogers, im 20, n i cant remember how old i was i think 4 or 5 when i watched him, but i remember the good feelings i had when i watched the Mr Rogers show..

[TheCratt]

Such a good man, and he had a good life doing good things.

[shredingrails]

poor fred rogers :(

[LucasMidkiff]

Such a genuine, caring man, and somebody I want to be like.

[hobo8675309]

i love this guy

[changolist1]

Mr. rogers may you rest in piece, thank you!!!!!!!!!

[mnvikings0527]

10k views. Keeping sharing this video. Nice to see so many appreciating a man who taught us how to be a good neighbor.

[TheROCKandOrROLL]

MR ROGERS IS A BRILLIANT MAN!!!

[ElectricaIBeast]

The way they talk about "youngsters" is creepy.

[TommySchillz]

this dude was the REAL DEAL

[artsy24]

I love my parents more than anything, but can you imagine what an amazing experience it must have been having Fred Rogers as a parent? He was such a kind, decent, and wonderful person. I had the chance to meet him on an elevator years ago and I was in awe. A remarkable human being. Love you, Mr. Rogers. :*)

[4Blindian4]

I can't stop crying... I watched his show ALL THE TIME when I was younger. I grew up watching it. He was the greatest man ever. <3<3<3<3

[mnvikings0527]

@4Blindian4 I totally agree with you. He was 1 in a billion. Wish he was still here.

[ther57]

@mnvikings0527 stop wishing and get a life

[thedirtymeatball]

@mnvikings0527

1 in 7 billion.

[09georgiapeach]

@4Blindian4 I'm with you. I keep getting a lump in my throat when he talks.

[ther57]

@4Blindian4 get a life

[1978byrd]

@4Blindian4 i love this show when i was grew up .



[4Lagunatics]

I adored Fred Rogers. He loved and respected children, and all people. HIs cadence and intelligence, his calm, kind demeanor, his comforting way of talking, rooted in his deep humanity, were so rare. Wish we had another like him.

[DCYPL1OF1YESHUA]

he was a gem..

[ther57]

@4Lagunatics he made so many kids gay

[Pilaf1984]

@ther57 There are far worse things to be than gay. Being a person who judges someone negative based on their sexuality for instance.

[DrMadrigal]

he was a great guy and all, but he's soooooo... chill. does ANYONE else find his demeanor just the least bit... odd? just hearing him talks makes my heart rate drop a bit

[DakariKingMykan]

*Looks up at the heavens*

Hi Neighbour... I know you know when we're watching you, and we all love you.

[MyCatRiley]

I knew Fred personally and what you see is what you got...

tolerance, love and incredible respect for all...

i adored him... and I still do.

[TheAmazingMantis]

Why do you want subscribers? What does it do for you?

[VideoCamren]

this is him?!

[MadCircle01]

he's satanic! woooops!

[conradragzoff]

I could listen to the man speak for hours and hours at a time. I know he wouldn't live forever, but I still feel that he was taken before his time.

Hopefully future generations accept his teachings and learn that you can be liked just for who you are.

[trompette1]

I know Mr. Rogers as MILLIONS do but who is cahkachaka1...are they on the faculty at Harvard or Yale an author or a doctor ,chemist ........who is this obscure thing

[1y2o3u4t5u6b7e89]

i wish he had been a person in my life as a friend, he really knew how to talk right to the heart and im sure everybody will say the same

[Realworstnightmare]

Greaaaaaat lines for a new Mr Rogers soundboard here

[hubbaman9885]

This series was Called "Hour Magazine" It was hosted by Gary Collins, Spoken from a true 80's child. This was from 1986

[mnvikings0527]

I've never heard that before. If you're right then Mr Rogers will need to repent. But, if you are lying then you will need to repent for lying and being a false witness.

[prospectnyc]

Irrelevant.

[mnvikings0527]

What's irrelevant? Repentance?

[prospectnyc]

His sexual orientation is irrelevant.

My apologies for being vague on my initial response.

To "cahkachaka1";

Hear-say from your grandfather does not constitute "fact". If you do a little bit of simple research you will find that Fred Rogers was historically devoted to his wife and his faith.

[KingDT2007]

Fred Rogers was never in the military

[jawk321]

Yeah, too bad that that's complete bullshit. Fred Rogers was never in the military to begin with. Why insult a man that was one of the most positive influences in America up until the day he died?

[mnvikings0527]

True. Good point. Amen.

[rabbit247allways]

@jawk321 yeah and continues to do so even after his death

[mrchuckmorris]

chakachaka1, I know this response is 6 months late, but I'm sorry. I can't sit by and let anyone read the horrible things you wrote. You're falsely slandering one of the greatest men who has ever lived. People who see Mr. Rogers and can't possibly understand a man full of peace, joy, and real love for everyone on earth are always trying to find some sick way to say he's just as bad as them... but the truth will always prevail. Funny thing is, he would hear your insults and love you anyway.

[auggiedoggy]

@chakachaka1 : You attempt at character assassination is pathetic. Fred Rogers was the best thing to happen to children's television programming.

[chakachaka1]

@auggiedoggy

Yeah? You just think that cause you're a homosexual too.

[auggiedoggy]

@chakachaka1 : That was mature! You need to grow up.

[TherealRNO]

@chakachaka1: Please. Mr. Rogers wouldn't mind what orientation you are, because everyone is special (i.e. everyone is unique, all should be loved, and we ought to strive to realize that each of us has something to offer) in their own way.

[Nmsx9]

Do you know which talk show this was?

[mnvikings0527]

No I don't. Sorry.

[TherealRNO]

mnvikings: Yes, you do, sorry. If you do not repent for your lies and slanders, you will suffer either in this life or the next.

[TheROCKandOrROLL]

@TherealRNO

I repent and confess my sins. It seems as if we are in the end days.

[bombberman6]

legend

[CarCassDemily]

i love Mister Rogers! I also love your profile--way to life for JESUS the TRUTH ;) Thanks

[uknowurright9]

i remember watching him every day when i was little with my grandfather... if every kid watched his show the world would be a better place, in fact his show wasnt even just for the kid inside everyone

i dont know if there will ever be another people like him but i hope there will be because kids need someone like him...

one more honest adult in the world... i wish there were more honest adults in the world :(

[AgentsTVSeries]

PART 2!!!!???????

[mnvikings0527]

Sorry. This is all I have.

[Moviewhiz1]

i cant believe pbs removed it

[h3lblad3]

@Moviewhiz1

I know it's been 2 years since your comment, but...

PBS has Mr. Rogers Neighborhood on its website.

[Killerkefka]

I love this man

[crazycanuckboy]

HOW DID HE DIE BY THE WAY rip OLD MAN

[mnvikings0527]

crazy,

He died of stomach cancer.

[Wellworm]

Mr. Rogers was one of the few people in child's TV that really cared about what he did. RIP.

[LittleElmers]

Thanks for posting this. Mr. Rogers wasn't just a guy who talked to kids; he was truly one who was REAL with people of any age. Read the book: I'm Proud of You by Tim Madigan. He met adult's needs too. We need more Mr. Rogers today!

[wednesday55]

@LittleElmers "I'm Proud Of You" is a beautiful book. Mr. Rogers truly understood the human soul.

If any of you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it. His love and compassion will take your breath away.
