No see, what we needed was MORE like him. Bob Ross and Fred Rogers were two persons making a world more pleasant just by being generally nice, and we needed the ratio a little higher than what we've been getting.
I actually shed a few tears watching this. Growing up, no matter how rough or scared I got, I always felt safe with Mr. Rogers. I'm almost 40 now and will always consider this man as one of my heroes. How this world desperately needs a Fred Rogers today.
Safe - yes that’s the feeling he so exudes and safety is what so many children (and adults!) need to feel. He helps my nervous system feel safe and therefore calm💚
I was born in 2004, but they still showed reruns of this show when I was growing up. I’ll always look back on it with immense nostalgia. Thank you, Mr. Rogers
Same. I remember that this was one of my favorite shows on PBS when they would show reruns, and I often think about it and wish they would show it again.
I was born in 2005 and grew up with reruns of Mr Rogers. Mr Rogers' tree, castle, part of his living room set, trolley, some of his puppets, his shoes, and some of the clothes worn on his show are in the Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. I went there earlier and it was an amazing blast from the past seeing all of his stuff
Same! I was born in 2006. Every day when I was little I watched PBS kids and they rarely ever played this as I aged. But once you saw that red house in the intro, you knew today was going to be a good day.
To add insult to injury, his passing was exactly two weeks prior to that of Lynne Thigpen, who provided the role for the Chief in the Carmen Sandiego game show. Just mentioning the titular neighborhood in the briefing of Pittsburgh, PA in the jail time challenge of the episode "You ain't nothing but a house thief," (meaning that Graceland was the loot) should serve as another painful reminder: ua-cam.com/video/YlPf7drO8VM/v-deo.htmlsi=WZ8HWCVaqaai3hiB
Jus a humble question how old are you precious Rick cuz the electric company ran out of business inn like the 79s is cable still 12 dollars for u lucky man
@@AlexAcosta-nj1ym let's just say i am old enough to have watched the Electric Company when I was a kid. I also remember Felix the Cat, Magilla Gorilla, and Mighty Mouse. Those were the days!
I grew up with Daniel Tiger and never watched this when I was younger but I've heard the theme songs and seen images over the year and listening to this made me cry. He's so wholesome and I would love to be his neighbor.
For those curious, the primary instrument behind the song's beautiful, dreamy, soothing opening sequence from 0:00-0:18 is a celesta. It's played with a piano keyboard but has metal bars over wooden resonators instead of strings. It's actually the same instrument heard in the Nutcracker's Sugar Plum Fairy. It has to be one of the most beautiful sounding instruments ever, and yes, that was Johnny Costa playing a real celesta live in the studio as was the rest of the music
Thank you for that info. I was trying to play that heavenly intro on the piano and couldn't figure out the instrument! Those chords are killer and complex but soooo beautiful and worth a try.
If there's such a thing as pure/impure souls, this man was probably the purest soul to ever walk this Earth. As somebody who never watched this show enough to ever remember it, I think this theme song unlocked some sort of hidden memory.
Happy heavenly birthday Mr Rogers 🎂🎉🎊🎁🎈. Thank you for making so many childhoods memorable. We love you. But why does this bring tears to my eyes 😭😭😭😭😭
I'm a 37 year old man and I just started crying because of not only what Mr. Rodgers represented, but the warm memories of when I would watch this and my grandparents were still alive.
This man is a shining example of what a wonderful human being can be. He is a jewel of our human experience. He is sorely missed and absolutely needed now.
if i was born in the 80s/90s, i would've met this happy, cheerful, and fun-loving person, and would've loved to be on his show. ever since i heard he's passed away since 2001, it still makes me really cry in tears.. i wish i could've _been_ his neighbor.. :'(
Even now -I can't resist the big wide grin that finds it's way to my face everytime I watch as this man walks through the door with that song in his heart and getting ready with his cardigan and house shoes to start the show and be our neighbor:)
Never had anything I wanted to be growing up, but I realized later in life I’d enjoy being nothing more than being the next Mr. Rogers. Teaching kids lessons they need to learn, boosting their self esteem and being a positive role model sounds like the best job in the world.
I can honestly say that my heart warms hearing this song . Me and my brother watched most of the time . Brings back good memories . When childhood was about simply playing fun games and learning how to be thoughtful of others .
One of my favorite shows as a kid, I absolutely l love Mr. Roger's, born in 85, when tv programming was largely censored and the programming for children taught values and built character ❤
“What’s your favorite music genre?” Childhood TV theme songs. Mr Rogers Neighborhood never gets old, and also classic Thomas has ♾ classic pieces as well.
I'm a 28 year old woman and i still like this show! Mr Rogers was a wonderful man! I miss him so much! He was one celebrity i would have loved to meet but sadly never did. Between him and Steve irwin were the 2 celebrities i would have loved to meet. Rip to both of them!
@@NoBallzTimmyWalzthe piano in the background was always improvised and recorded for each episode, meaning yeah, technically cause of the slight differences in the improv, each theme song was slightly unique.
Exactly. Until 1996, almost none of the background instrumentals were unedited. Johnny Costa and his trio played live and unedited in the studio as each episode was taped. Definitely a special aspect that makes a musician like myself only appreciate the show even deeper
Reminds me of being a young kid. Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood was a show i never missed. What a wonderful man. 55 now and he resonates more than ever as a person to emulate.
I'm 29 and I remember watching Mr Rogers after school on PBS back when I was in elementary school. Watching this brought tears in my eyes. He really was like my third grandpa
I remember watching this as a baby, but I was 1 year old when he passed . He had the same impact on me, like when Robin Williams died. Pure souls never last forever .
I’m 46 and still love this man and appreciate how much he was here for me As a Child true legendary life. I was fortunate enough to visit his grave and simple And humble a true legumes of what legacy is thank you father for all The teachings on how to life a full life I love you
Just watched it again... and... still love it, but what grabbed me most this time.. is how simple and intro it is.. and the production quality. Not a huge budget, simple set.. and yet.. sooo many people loving this show for so many years. I met Fred.. briefly .. a few times. A genuinely amazing person
I remember coming home from elementary school in the late 80's and watching this. Back when my mom was still alive, and the future felt bright. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I never liked him, until I actually watch his show. I'm now a fan. I'm here to remember the song. I'm singing this song to my grandson as he's on his way to sleep. Mr. Rogers is very much missed.❤
I am not American so I didn't grow up watching his show, but this makes me feel nostalgic nonetheless! I'd definitely watch Mr Roger's as a kid, I loved wholesome, "comfy" shows like this. ❤️
It always put a large smile on my face when Mr Rodger’s came in and sang, “it’s a wonderful day in the neighborhood” wow, what a wonderful man. We need more shows like this in this day and age.
@@mr.dirtydan3338 The television has always been satanic, there are just a few things that manage to squeeze past all of that propaganda and bullshit they push us on.
➡️Absolutely it was always “THE” neighborhood, not “This” neighborhood in my last reality. I thought of something tonight to check for more residue…Remember when Eddie Murphy did the parody on SNL “Mister Robinson’s Neighborhood”?… Well I did a search and pulled up multiple parody’s that Eddie Murphy did of the show and in his parodies he always says “It’s a beautiful day in “THE” Neighborhood. I wonder why he would say “THE” if the line is “This”???🤷🏻♂️
This brought me to tears! Back when times were so different. I was a child with my siblings, everyone was still alive and well and our biggest concern was going outside to play.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm 26 years old and still watch this man's show whenever I'm feeling depressed or on edge.

I’ve been sitting here thinking about my childhood, and how much he really helped me get through things . It was such a comforting the show
I still feel safe with him at 26 years old.
Alot of people don't even like kids anymore. Will be hard to be find someone as passionate as Fred Roger's.
Safe - yes that’s the feeling he so exudes and safety is what so many children (and adults!) need to feel. He helps my nervous system feel safe and therefore calm💚
This is true! I would get sad too! I wanted to be his neighbor…
I was born in 2004, but they still showed reruns of this show when I was growing up. I’ll always look back on it with immense nostalgia. Thank you, Mr. Rogers

But they retired his page on the PBS website, so you have to pay to see certain episodes:(
I love this show because it's calm, gentle, and soothing.
Me too! Just like Bear In The Big Blue House.
Maaaaaaan this takes me back. My dad would pick me up from preschool on his lunch break and I’d get to watch Mr Rogers. Wonderful times
John Mandy Perez 2020
Where I live it was on in the morning 6am and 630 two episodes
Awwwe I definitely want my daughter to watch this this was my childhood
This really hits a spot in my heart. I never had a grandpa growing up so watching this show was like having a grandpa. Thank you Mr Rogers.
He is missed 😢

We’re the same age and I feel the same way my dad would make me a grilled cheese sandwich while I watch this
You are definitely a 90s early 2000s kid, I would wake up to this and coming back home to watch pokemon. Much simpler times!
Oh my God. What a blast from the past. If Heaven is a place, I can't imagine a more deserving person to be granted entry than Mr. Rogers.
It definitely is real and if we all choose to live beautiful lives like Fred Rogers, we’ll also be able to call Heaven home at the end of our days. 💗
If Heaven is a place, I would hope it resembles this place. I loved Mr. Rogers. RIP to a legend
I can speak with authority on this. Fred Rogers is indeed in paradise.
He and Bob Ross are the only two people who are definitely in heaven if there is one
