I like you too

I can still remember about 25 years ago throwing a huge temper tantrum, slamming my tiny hands hard against 70s-ish, tacky-looking, artificial wooden walls. My outrage: I missed an episode of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood". And yet it was certainly not the response that would have pleased my idol.

Now I look back and smile, not only because it's a little funny, but also because after many years of being "grown up" and asserting my "maturity", I am once again on the Mister Rogers bandwagon, perhaps even more so than when I was a child.

No doubt, it began in 1998 when I read Tom Junod's extensive (but worthwhile) article about him in the November issue of "Esquire". But this DVD has now put the icing on an already delicious cake. My only wish is that there could have been an interview with Tom Junod, the writer who was at least partly responsible for re-introducing Mister Rogers to the current pop culture.

Mister Rogers was the word gentleness made flesh. He was kind not only in front of the cameras, but even in his own private life. He was in fact the real deal! He was genuine with everyone regardless of age, economic position, or power. He talked to congressmen, co-workers, Joan Rivers, small children, and you and me all alike. He displayed a gentleness and genuiness that our world is not at all comfortable with and yet in dire need of, never more so than today.

I highly recommend this DVD to everyone. Even if you hated the man (it's hard to believe, but there are such people out there), or you're a skeptic, or a mocker. Mister Rogers could tame even the toughest audience, and if you're up to the challenge, you can see him do it over and over on this DVD. And lastly, I recommend this DVD to anyone who is just aching to see something decent on their television screen.

God blessed us.

Great documentary on an extraordinary man!

I found this very fascinating. I always thought Fred Rogers was extraordinary, but never knew the full picture. Thoroughly enjoyable way to find out about him and how he worked. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to know how to talk to kids or planning a program.


He Was Truly America's Favorite Neighbor

This is a great look at the life of television's most beloved personalities, Fred M. Rogers.

This wonderful documentary chronicles his life from infancy to his untimely death in 2003. The documentary is also narrated and hosted by former "Neighborhood" crew member, Michael Keaton.

We see Fred's transition from floor manager at NBC, to finally having his own show on WQED out of Pittsburgh. Mr. Rogers truly was a neighbor to us all, and this DVD is a testament to his influence on our culture. Enjoy!

The Story of a Great American

Fred Rogers was a man of many talents: Presbyterian minister; puppetier; child psychologist; musician; television personality: he devoted his life to providing small children with a nurturing, educational, non-violent alternative to the slew of cartoons and toy commercials that saturate them.

Mr. Rogers let children (and adults) know that it is wise and healthy to grow up to be a crative and gentle adult. He taught tolerance and anger management. He did a great service for children and our country. I grew up with Mr. Rogers and I watched my older children watch him. Now that he is gone, I try to talk to my little boy in a way that is partly influenced by Mr. Rogers's kind and gentle tone.

A true inspiration

This DVD was a great tribute to a truly inspirational man. I grew up watching 'Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood' and it still stands out as a genuinely unique program for children, in it's one-on-one sense of communication and the lessons the show taught.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because of the inexplicably extended interviews with Joan Rivers (of all people!) that followed some truly moving segments that talked about his lifetime achievements for his sincere mission to reach children with gentle compassion.
