Mr. Rogers rules. He is on my list of top five people I wish I had been able to meet before they died. I watched his show religiously and probably longer than I should have (according to psychologists at least).

Shhhhhh! Don't make us an item.

shhhing

She was talking to me.

long what you've gone and done! Making me all teary eyed.. =(

Awe... I really wish I had heard of him. he sounds like a great childrens presenter and an amazing person

15. The sweaters. Every one of the cardigans he wore on the show had been hand-knit by his mother.

At the risk of losing several machismo points, I think this is probably the coolest thing on the list.

i remember when he died, i was in highschool. it seriously was like my grandpa died. i went to his memorial service here in pittsburgh. there was not one dry eye there. i still miss him.

I miss him as well. I was teh youngest, and my older brothers would mercilessly tease me over watching the show, but I really liked it! It was a comfort to me, a daily ritual that reminded me of being a young child, being noticed and appreciated. The episodes hold up well. I've recently caught a rerun or two and found them to be endearing and still cozy after 38 years of watching.... I am still learning from the shows even now, about emotions and simple social graces I never learned before.

I would love to say that my tolerance was learned from him. He had a simple and innocent style that is attractive to small children. A truly great American.

damn, that made me teary eyed, I loved him so so so much when I was a little girl...I still do.

I didn't grow up with watching him, but I have a brand new respect for the man.

I really liked the Koko story. That is so amazing!

I loved Mister Rogers growing up. I am thankful that they have kept his show running(per his request) for generations to come.
