kind man on the show with warm memories of him, like my brother in law. Even in interviews I can feel his warm spirit

I remember they had muppet Beetles playing (what else) Beatles songs...I forget which one. I remember they once did Octopus Garden and it was all muppet fish in an ocean scene....THAT was a long time ago---probably in the early 70s.

Never thought of him like Mr Rogers but you may have a point there.

It's nice seeing him as himself is refreshing.

Bob and Linda helped me to learn as a kid, that deaf people deserve love and understanding. Me, now, my partner is deaf, and I love them so much.

[trenchrun]

inspite of his niceness he always seemed a bit stern to me as a kid in the 70's..a real serious no nonsense guy like my dad or something.

[garycalgary]

he comes across as a mr rogers type person, someone you can trust. Some people just have that demeanour I guess,

I scare children and elicit snickers from strangers so that's always fun

What a Legend.

Thank you Bob for helping me learn back in the 80's.
