Mister Rogers Neighborhood - Exploring The Set

[@tonyringtail]

Only Mr. Rogers can make 10 seconds of silence be some of the most powerful and emotional seconds in anyone's life. RIP Mr. Rogers... we miss you.

[@anitastodolak9882]

tonyringtail I know right! I'm 52 years and grew up with him and watched him as so many others did! And I can honestly say that he is the only t. v personality that I watch now in my adulthood can get me to feel as good as I did watching him as a young child! God bless his sweet soul! Thank you Mr. Rogers for making my childhood totally awesome! May he continue to rest in sweet peace! I so miss him! Thank God for utube!

[@wolfleader2082]

[@chatanugadotorg]

Back in September 2015, I drove over to Latrobe, Pennsylvania to visit Unity Cemetery and the mausoleum where he was laid to rest. You can't get inside, but you can look through the door, and he's just inside on the left. I was talking to him just like he used to talk to us through the camera. It was really hot and humid that day, and at one point, I said out loud that it was really hot and that I might need to cut my visit short. Right as soon as I said that, the wind changed direction and turned nice and cool. Needless to say, I believe he was with me that day on my visit.

So many feels for me watching this. I was a 70's baby and grew up watching Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street and The Electric Company. I hope one day to go visit this set! My husband was also a 70's baby but never grew up watching PBS and I would love to show him all of this

and the proof of how humble and class act he is and was. in his speech for his lifetime award. he thanked every one else how helped him for making show like camera men and tv production crew and and everyone else. he never took any credit for the show and how it helped so many of us growing up. if you ever wanna know what pure class or a what a real human looks like or acts. go study him. he only wanted everyone to get along and enjoy getting along and helping others be great too.

[@ddoyle11]

What a truly good, honest and genuine man he was. Some of my earliest memories are of watching his show. The music he featured was my first introduction to Jazz. I wish the trolley had survived, but still, they did a great job with the set!

[@carlcushmanhybels8159]

Glad you liked the jazzy expressive piano music. The pianist, or one of them, was the music director for a summerstock theatre I acted and I wrote a children's show, Beema Zomp! for: Kearsarge Theatre, Warner, NH. He taught me to breathe, so to speak. During much of the year, he composed and improvised the Mt. Roger's piano accompaniment, much like keyboardists did for 'silent' movies.

About 20ish years ago, I remember going to downtown Pittsburgh and seeing some of the set pieces that were on display, and even now seeing these brings a smile. My dad also worked at WQED for a while and apparently met Mr. Rogers, and I'm told he really was a great guy.

Now, through the amazing U-Tube, I can go and watch episodes and I tear up, cry and loving every minute of it. I'm 62 and watching what I've missed the first time around.

[@johndenicola6173]

Yet another fantastic video you presented. I was born in 1965, and watched Mr Rogers' Neighborhood (as well as the other PBS programming). Fred Rogers was a very kind, caring, and wise man. His manner was very positive and uplifting. He was also an incredible gentleman. His teachings were wonderful things - which are important in the hustle-bustle (and crankiness) of today's society. It was interesting seeing the sets as they were built, but the ending of your video was incredible. Although I have seen his Golden Globe award speech before, I was suddenly drawn in as if he was speaking at that moment, listened and followed what he said to the audience. My thoughts went directly to my mom (living) , and especially my dad who left this world 4 years ago (5/25/2014). It was at the point where he said (to paraphrase) "...those people that you were thinking about are proud of you for who you are and what you became..." It was at that point where my emotions flooded me, and "saw" my dad smiling at me. Thank You again for presenting this video and including his speech. This video couldn't have been better any other way. Bravo.

Unless one of us take up mr. Rogers torch there won’t be another one like him. I don’t even think anyone who lives in this world that was born after 1970 can possibly fill his shoes because we grew up with different values even though he instilled as much as he could his values on us the world is just way to different now.

Agreed ☹...born in 1988 I am proud to say I grew up watching him daily as a child. I now know what I had.

[@daffers2345]

I dunno, I think his messages about everyone being special and such are timeless. I watched some episodes more recently, and besides some outdated tech (VHS, for example) the show is still relevant. Maybe no one today can "fill his shoes," so to speak, but I am one of those ones who thinks they should be re-run. (Yes, I know this comment is old. Thought I'd respond anyway) :)

This is such a neat tour of the set! And a beautiful tribute; if anyone truly earned a Lifetime Achievement Award, it was Fred Rogers. When the 'Won't You Be My Neighbor?' documentary came out in 2018, my mother and I were so moved when we learned about the efforts Mr. Rogers made for PBS funding and how much he advocated for children's programming. I was born in '71, and was among that first generation of little ones to love the show. My mom often watched it with me. :)
