It follows his other rule as well. While he tolerated most parodies he hated parodies that mocked the philosophy of the show. But there's no question here that the Black Dynamite writers had nothing but reverence for the actual show.

The only objection I have here is the line "protect the children from all the bad in the world". Mr Rogers didn't protect children from bad things, he did something better. He taught kids how to understand bad things and how to cope with them. He discussed war, assassinations, terrorism and many more dark subjects on his show in an effort to gently help kids understand these things and how to deal with it in the most healthy way.

jayjay86443 things are never that simple and many people would rather right it off as simple so they won’t have to understand the complexity of it. I’m assuming your morals are the religious kind so I wouldn’t be surprised if you think the world is depraved. And it is, but not in the way you see it. I recall a friend asking about why women are more promiscuous now, and I told him he’s not acknowledging the history of women’s sexuality being oppressed and now they have human rights and free reign to fuck as they wish just like men are already evolved to do.

My kind of Mr. Rogers there, protecting the future the right way

[@thepepperpot3809]

The only reason Mister Rogers got into TV was because of how awful he thought TV was. When he graduated college in 1951 (he got a BA in music), he went home and found that his parents had bought a TV. He watched some programs and was appalled at the violence and commercialism. So he went to work at NBC for a while, got his Divinity BA (and was allowed to make children's television his ministry) and studied child development. He worked in Canada and Pittsburgh on various kids shows, and then started Mister Rogers Neighborhood in 1968 (so, no, he didn't fight in Korea or Vietnam). That was produced until 2001. He died in 2003. There was a documentary made about him in 1971 that was on YT that I saw, but it's long since been pulled down. What amazed me when I saw it was, when it came to dealing with the adults while producing his show, he was kind, but he didn't play. He expected to be obeyed when he told people to do something. It was amazing to watch, because when we think "authority," we expect screaming and yelling and attitude, but he had none of that. He was focused on the work and was expecting his team to also focus on what the work was for. I hope I can find it again one day. It was a revelation, and it even helped me to change up my style of dealing with people at work.
