1. Fred Rogers was the best thing to come out of Pittsburgh.

2. National treasure

to be sure.

ETA: It is no wonder that the return of Fred Rogers to our consciousness through this movie, the 2018 documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7681902/...and more tells us how much we need his kind, gentle voice at this moment. We have fallen so far and many of us feel frightened and alone.

5. Can you imagine Mr. Rogers crying on air about the children in those concentration camps?

Trump wouldn't stand a chance.

3. Got a little teary watching the trailer

We need more Fred Rogers in this world.

4. Ahh jeeze

Every time I see or read something of Mr. Rogers I tear up. What an amazing man. Tom Hanks will do him justice I believe. I babysat with Mr. Rogers and raised my own kids with Mr. Rogers. We need so many more like him to right this world.

EDIT to say, I had not read the comments above mine. Interesting how we all feel about him in such a similar and loving way.

6. Everytime I see a 'how things are made' video...

I think of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.

I can't think of any actor who could possibly portray him other than Tom Hanks.

7. My favorite Mr. Rogers moment is really a remix.

Garden of Your Mind
Mister Rogers

Mister Rogers, the children's program host,
is remixed in this track by John D. Boswell.

Hey Neighbor, welcome again to this neighborhood.
I'd like to show you something. Do you know what this is? Well,
maybe if I push this button.
This is a cassette player with a little cassette in here.
And there's nothing written on it so
we'll have to play it to see what's on it
Did you ever imagine things?
Are they scary things?
Did you ever imagine things
Things you'd like to have?
Did you ever see a cat's eyes in the dark
And wonder what they are?
Did you ever pretend about things like that before?
Did ever grow anything in the Garden of your Mind?
You can grow ideas
In the Garden of your mind
It's good to be curious about many things
You can think about things and make believe
All you have to do is think
And they'll grow
Imagine every person that you see
Is someone different
From every other person in the world
Some can do things
Some can do others
Did you ever think about the many things you've learned to do?
Did ever grow anything in the Garden of your Mind?
You can grow ideas
In the Garden of your mind
It's good to be curious about many things
You can think about things and make believe
All you have to do is think
And they'll grow
Did you feel like going like that? (hand snap)
Let's give the fish some food
Mr McFeely, I didn't order any whistles
(music break)
That's what they call these slide things
Did you feel like going like that? (hand snap)
There are so many things to learn about in this world
And so many people who can help us learn
Did ever grow anything in the Garden of your mind?
You can grow ideas
In the Garden of your mind
It's good to be curious about many things
You can think about things and make believe
All you have to do is think
You can think about things and make believe
All you have to do is think
And they'll grow
