I love the ending slide with the trolley and episode number - the music that plays during it just takes me back. I probably hadn't heard it in at least 35 years. :-)

You know why it made you cry? Because that Trolley Card music is the exact audio representation of the fleetingness of childhood; a gentle cascade of wonder and beauty, which all too soon is but a memory.
I don't think you could have put it better.
perfect wording. exactly how I feel.
Cheers, Now im all effing choaked up again THANKS ALOT!!! Peace =)
I would like to tell you, to go fuck yourself...but I can't. You're right. Still wrecks me at 47 years of age...
I also think that...that was the last bastion of our innocence. It says a lot in that little title board trolley. It's very promising, calming, yet very melancholy.
People take different things from it.
The Museum of Classic Chicago Television (www.FuzzyMemories.TV) that and the combination of how great a person Fred Rogers was
2:08 gave me goose skin, and made my eyes well up. I remember how soothing it was to me when I was little.
yes but the version i remember hearing in california started at the 2:12 mark
I think we all want the Trolley to take us back to our childhoods.
MonitaLeaf12 I wish Fred Rogers was alive so I can tell him how much I love him and how much I cherish him
@@jonathanclary3992 I'm sure that he already knows, so don't worry about it, also I remember that Trolley Card Music, it's so calming and beautiful, I remember when I was living on the farm in Canton South Dakota, I remember sitting on the living room floor of our Farmhouse in front of the TV, and just watch Mister Roger's Neighborhood,
@@kellymiller1891 oh wow that sounds like an exciting Childhood you had years ago I remember when I was a kid I did more than just watch Mr Rogers I also watched Reading Rainbow, Sesame Street, Between the Lions, Zoboomafoo, The Berenstain Bears, Zoom, Cyberchase, Arthur, Postcards from Buster, The Teletubbies,
Thomas and friends, Franklin, Barney and friends, Dragontales, Jay Jay the jet plane, I've watched them all, I also remembered when my mom use to give me baths I was scared at first to be left alone in the tub by myself but my mom taught me that you can never go down the drain because I was too big to fit in such a small drain at the same time that was Mr Rogers was teaching us 😂😂😂😂 man I had some good times back then and now that my mom is gone now I'm on my own living independently and someday I pray 🙏 to have my own family and teach them the same things my mom taught me
2:08 is so beautiful. All of the music of this show is beautiful. It’s made me cry tears of joy, it’s that intricate.
The ending credits with the cars and neighborhood are great... But the part with the Trolley and episode card, with the music is EPIC... Saying, all is okay. :)
+boofdfast: Agreed...that episode ID music is one of the greatest ASMR triggers ever.
absolutely. no music today compares
man... too good.
Gotta agree. The Trolley card, the WGBH Boston logo and the 1970's PBS logo are my ASMR go-to's, and will always be until the day I'm gone.
How long did they use this ending with the trolley "saying" goodbye to us?
That floaty background music still does stick in my brain because there was something so haunting and comforting about it
I didn't know other people cared about that ending like I do !! 😢 Love it so much, glad someone uploaded this!! 😌
Cayla Bailey I thought I was the only one who was memorized by it as a little girl in the 70's to a teen in the 80's to now being middle aged.
@@chelleglenney156It shows that we as people are more alike than we ever thought possible
Man this take me back when I was little I used to watch this everyday 😪😭
That does it. It's official. I want this end theme and the Trolley end card theme played at the end of my funeral.
+Heather Ferreira Me too, girl. me too.
That's nice but don't end your life early God has plans for you for the future but try not to end your life so early enough for someone to play this song at your funeral
I ❤❤❤ old footage, especially PBS kids shows ...
Where would our world be if we had never had programs like Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Sesame Street, and so on ...
I agree with the commenters here about Trolley and the theme song ...
I still get sad sometimes, listening to the ending, even though it is upbeat and "waltzy", I felt lonely as a kid, watching the ending, because it was like -
"Wait! Don't leave yet! I still have to stay here, even though I don't want to ..."
And the sudden flourish of the piano and flute for the episode-number card, it made me think of, the suddenness of the Trolley conductor saying, "ALL ABOARD!" and seeing it having ambled down the tracks for a distance, made me feel like -
"Oh, no! I'm late and I missed the Trolley, and I want to run away from here and go on an adventure!
Trolley, you look empty, so I would have you all to myself, we could "talk" to each other ("Ding, ding!"), wherever you're going, I want to go with you!"
I felt like all of the life was knocked out of me when the show was over, having to wait until the next day for the next episode, but, still -
Beautiful memories of a beautiful, and quite necessary, concept -
Well loved to this day -
For the best reasons, ever!
Thank you for your channel!

The music from the episode card and the trolley picture is one of the most powerfully nostalgic tunes that I know. I think it's amazing that some people find it creepy. To me, it's beautiful, sad, peaceful, and hopeful, all wrapped up in one. Hearing it instantly brings me back to summer afternoons of my childhood. So much love for this.
+KurtK54241 I agree I wondered why caught me so much, just hearing it again takes me back again so quick!
I was always creeped out by it.
Kurt - Without reading you're post, though I don't know how I could've missed it, I made a post, that is almost verbatim to yours. Thumbs up for you're comment my friend.
Give me a lump in the ol throat and a few tears as well EVERY TIME
Nostalgia at its best. Hearing the trolley music instantly takes my back to the late spring of my Grade 2 year, when I stayed behind after school to help the teacher. Leaving the school, there was an open field beside it, kind of like in the episode card picture. It was a beautiful sunny day, and I was the only one around, and for some reason, I thought of the trolley card music in that moment, and almost expected to see the trolley make an appearance.
That was the late spring of 1979, and every time I hear that music, I’m transported back to that day, over 40 years ago. It’s one of my strongest and most cherished memories of childhood, and makes me smile every time.
I have to admit, I got a little emotional during that trolley music clip and all the other intro's and the PBS jingles. The nostalgia is real. If you know what I'm talking about, you know what I'm talking about. If only we could travel back in time. I remember the days I would be home from school sick with the flu and my mom would put this on for me and always made me feel better and safe. Fred Rogers was a Legend. The world we live in today has all but vanished from so many good things. For me when I was a child, whenever I heard this music it always gave me something to look forward to. It was that tomorrow a new day will come and positives vibes would follow.
I...want my childhood back. I used to cry when he went off. So did my older bro and sisters. 28 yrs old, tear almost came to my eye.
My favorite part of the entire ending is 2:09-2:20. I play this over and over again just for that
I love that segment with the title card and music too. The music was perfect.
Yup, Johnny Costa knew exactly how to play the perfect music for the show. He well used all 3 of his instruments in that last segment; the piano, synth, and the celesta. It sure does give me the chills too
Me too jkenun1! I LOVE it!!!
+Saleem Ismail me three =)
me too. like 30 times right now.
thanks for posting!! i'd always wait for that last part of the show before going outside to play. ahhhh the good old days.. sadly the world is a different place today and my daughters will never be able to enjoy what we used to..
The ending music on the episode card starting at 2:08 still puts a huge lump in my throat after all these many years and I don't know why. Maybe as a child it signaled that the show was over? Nonetheless This is and always will be timeless. Thank you for uploading
😊😂
+Vinny Veducci Same here!!! :(
I thought I was the only one that liked that. Very simple, but why am I drawn to that?
Does me the same way. A tear rolled down hearing it. The ending with the trolley was always one of my favorite parts of Mr. Rogers. It feels good knowing I'm not the only one who get emotional when I hear the ending
This part of the song gets me EVERY single time! Sends goosebumps through me because it was a peg in almost MILLIONS of children's child hoods back in my day (80's-90's). I'll never forget waiting on the show to end, JUST to hear it! Mr. Rogers was an absolute GENIUS! May he rest in peace🌹
the musical riff@ 2:08 is residing in my memory as well, though it always made me sad as it seemed like the trolley was saying "goodbye" to me...
I felt exactly the same! There's some musical magic to this segment that resonated with me as a child, and still does. When I hear it, I'm reminded of times long lost.
Mister Rogers is the person who teaches us to always be ourselves. : )
What a warm blissful tune, takes me back to when I would come home after school and watch this.
Always loved this. I wasn't a big Mr. Rogers viewer as a child in the 70s, but as a budding musician, I've always loved that jazzy ending! Really takes me back!
Everything jazzy is so rad.
he cared about communicating with children, too often we forget that they're people too, Rogers taught us great things for sure
That ending has to be the most CALMING thing ever.
the ending trolly card number theme brings refreshment back to that innocent childhood of mine and still does , summer months at the Herman Park here in Houston , the mini train they have goes through the park as a kid and awe well what the hell it still does remind me of trolley ! Thank You for uploading
2:08
I've been searching for this for years and years and described it as: At the very end of Mr. Rogers, there was a painting of the trolly with a show number placard with music that always gave me a weird warm fuzzy feeling inside."
No one ever knew what I was talking about until now! The feeling was a warm fuzzy kinda creepy feeling but a feeling I sought out even as a teen I would want to watch that last 6 seconds to catch it every time I caught it on after Jr High. I thought it was for sure, just me. How is it so many of us got the same feeling????
Agreed, the trolley music was a bit unnerving...to me it sounded like "falling" or "panicking" if I had to describe it
I just recently lost my father. His passing was VERY unexpected. It is in this music that I find comfort. The horrible grief washes over me from time to time. When it does, I watch this video, as well as others with music from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. It helps me so much during this dark time in my life. THANK YOU for posting it!
I miss the way PBS used to show promos for its "adult" shows (like Nova and Nature) during the children's programming blocks. Some of these promos intrigued me as a kid and made me want to watch the shows, but unfortunately most of them aired after my bedtime. This practice seemed to end with the introduction of the "PBS Kids" block in 1992.
I stared watching NOVA when I was about 9. The first episode I remember watching was about SETI and hosted by Lilly Tomlin. Been hooked since.
PBS never used to condescend to children like it does now.
Same year when Barney and Friends came out
1:58. Back then they used the read the funding credits during the end credits instead of after.
What’s your opinion on Barney
2:07 was such a lovely way to close each episode. I'm so glad that this was uploaded!
RIP Fred Rogers!! we'll miss ya!!
I always loved the trolley jingle at the end. I haven't seen it in 30 years at least.
marioTmaggot it's so amazing how many of us were effected by this the same way.
OMG!!! I haven't heard the ending music with the trolley still since maybe 1985. It used to scare me a little... and I've tried for the last however may years to explain this to my sisters, but I was only 4 or 5 and couldn't remember all the notes exactly. Now I can show them. Thanks for posting this!!
I wonder if younger viewers thought that the Trolley was lost in the middle of nowhere, or was stuck on the tracks there and couldn't get home, and the music just added to its misery, like "Help me! I can't get home!".
PBS should ALWAYS air this show! Start from the very first episode until the last and then start it over again!
Agree with you about the music. I was just a simple little kid in the suburbs of Boston and through some of the closing credits on PBS everday we were being weened on Toots Thielmanns doing the ending of Sesame Street and this guys Costa, who sounds a bit like a combination of Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum. We were getting culture just sitting by the tv in the afternoon during the early 70's. Awesome childhood.
I remembered watching mr Rogers neighborhood for many years since I was a little girl.
I got a little emotional seeing this.. The kids of today have no clue about Mr. Rogers or Captian Kangeroo. Both of them served in our military and did some amazing things for children. I'll always be thankful and grateful for their contribution towards helping children with learning. RIP Mr. Rogers and Captian Kangeroo ♥️
I agree. That little tune was the sign that it was naptime.
Mr Rogers was just golden! Times were so much better back then. People as awesome as him are hard to come by these days 😰
Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and The Electric Company used to be the perfect lineup of kids shows ever!
Exactly, they even showed it in the afternoons, as well as early mornings. Old school PBS goodness.
Boy,you said a mouthful! I couldn't agree more! Thanks to WNET 13 Newark,NJ(serves New York,New Jersey and Connenecticut)
I grew up in VT where WGBH from Boston and Vermont ETV (now VPT) were my PBS stations.
WGBH reached VT,huh? Alright, thanx!
And 'GBH are the producer of #novapbs.
I found this for my wife, she was telling me about her even as a teenager waiting until the very end to see the picture of the trolley and the different music. It's cool to see so many people got that warm fuzzy feeling seeing it as well. She never thought I would find it....
chris story I can't believe you found this! I've been searching forever no one knew what I was talking about. My beloved trolley picture and melody.
It really is a good feeling to know were alive and such a happy feeling that were growing inside thank you Fred Rogers for teaching us that Rip Fred Rogers (1928-2003)
I never realized the big red/brown building at the end of the credits was the same shape as the old NET logo
One of the rare times Mr rogers wore red pants
Loved Mr. Rogers while growing up! One of the best shows a child could watch. R.I.P. Mr Rogers, you were a true childrens icon.
Its magical at the end with art work with Trolly on the tracks that snippet of music is timeless...
It wasn't until Twitch played a marathon of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood that I really remembered the show, and all the good feelings I had about it..
But their was one thing that stuck with me for decades. Ever since I was a kid, up until BEFORE the marathon. But I always remembered 3 major things.
The Trolley, The Traffic Light in the house, and especially the ending Trolley card. This image, and it's music was burned into my brain, and the memory of it would always fill me with such a nostalgic feeling.
The image of a beautiful canvas with the title up top, as well as the beautiful, fluttering flute playing us out in a downward tone. It's almost like a "Goodbye" kind of sound, as it trails on. And the sight of the Trolley, as if it's moving off to the left and off-camera, furthering the "Good Bye" feeling of it all. It's beautiful, and even though I was only born 1994, I have memories of the show I can never forget, and would never forsake. Thank you, Mister Rogers. 143.
The model neighborhood is the best in the show! 😊
For many years as a child I thought that that model was real aerial photography. It was only after I reached the age of about 9 that I realized it was a model.
Thank you for that! Really brought me back
In death, Mr. Rogers became a saint who takes care of all the fallen children who have gone to heaven over the years!
That’s a comforting thought!
I don't know what years they aired it, but I loved the credits where they show the trolley going through the neighborhood. I also like seeing the trolley at the 2:07 mark and that beautiful music. One of my all-time favorite shows as a kid, and Mr. Rogers is definitely one of my personal influences.
I think it's a shame PBS isn't currently airing this show. They should ALWAYS air this and keep replaying every episode FOR GENERATIONS.
Was anyone else scared the crap out of when they showed the episode card? I don't know why that part of the music freaked me out.
maybe i mistook it for asmr when i was little lol
+lsdeimos yes that is pretty creepy.
it actually made me cry, I have no idea why but it did
Yepp...hated it!
Even though I don't really mind the stuff on tv nowadays, what's bugging me is that I don't think there are any shows like this that teaches you anything every day/week/episode. I hate that now MRN isn't even on PBS at noon anymore. It's no where on any channel I have and if it WAS, then I'd be a lot more happy.
When I was a kid, there used to be these bus stops in my small town that reminded me a bit of the trolley and I wished they had those still.
I remember CH 11 when I was a kid in Chicago ILL from 1969-1979. One of my Favorite TV channels.
thanks so much for posting this!
From a January 28, 1983 rebroadcast.
No. In the video description, it says this episode aired Friday, February 18th, 1983
When that Trolley Card and music played after the credits, my brother and I used to yell at the TV "goodbye trolley, goodbye trolley!" Lol. Hearing and seeing it again is so heartwarming.
It's a beautiful thing.
There's an article, on "Fred Rogers Was My Real Neighbor, He was just like he was on TV and then Some." I've watched him in political hearings, and how he fought for more money into children's lives. He was one of a kind...
A Teacher for all times, the end credits with the Trolley music makes me crave for my childhood.
Oh man, that musical riff at 2:08 is still burned into my memory to this day lol
2:08
Great stuff. I've always loved 'Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood' since I was a little girl.
'It's such a good feeling' to know I remember at least a few things from Mr. Rogers, like the traffic light signal, the way he tooses the shoe from one hand to another, and the coat room closet door. I'm glad that I am me (in this respect, at least)!
"I love the ending slide with the trolley and episode number - the music that plays during it just takes me back. I probably hadn't heard it in at least 25 years. :-)"
Gosh, me too. Makes me wistful.
Kinda wish they kept the 10 second "Trolley" closing cards going throughout the series. It was sort of like a final wave goodbye before the next show.
I don't think anyone can replicate the end trolly theme song. Great pianist.
That building is suppose to be his work place.
I've heard many people say that originally the music that played when they showed the episode number was "scary sounding". Anyone can vouch for that?
I can recall times when that tune would scare me as a child, but I kept watching 😊
Is there a video of the original ending tune on UA-cam?
I've searched for other end credit videos, but I think this is the only one on UA-cam
InvaderPet Not sure about the episode number part, but there were times when the show would use 'modern' composition techniques as opposed to the pure jazz we remember. I hear a Pierre Boulez or Toru Takemitsu piano piece and my brain instantly starts to remember Mr Rogers, so the modern 'classical' music had to be in there at times. I need to watch through the early 70s episodes on Amazon Prime to be sure.
I know that similar modern-classical music was in bits of early 70s Sesame Street as well, but little of it survives in public release (though fortunately the Phillip Glass work Geometry in Circles does).
Admittedly, as Noncarrow and others discovered, there are more than one 'techniques' of composition that can eventually result in the same 'sound'. Johnny may have sounded modern-classical but to his experience was still playing jazz like any other.
I could have that music from the trolley card at the end playing every 15 minutes!! 🙏🏻😀
Things happen when someone passes away, but we all have feelings of when we are sad, happy, upset, proud, or angry, but I will always remember the good things in life about Mr. Rogers and all his neighborhood friends because he always talked about how everyone felt about feelings that we're good and bad. But most of all, he sang about it too. I don't expect people to live forever, but I would recommend God to handle all the pain that Mr. Rogers had went through before he died.
Nostalgia.
Long time Ago shining time station aired before mr rogers aired in the morning in the late 80s early 90s early mid 90s on pbs stations like wkar and wnit pbs station and other pbs stations
Some considered that vanity plate/ending slide with the trolley and episode code number to be scary. It was...slightly unnerving to me.
From Episode 1315. 5 years before Twitch.
I remember 1983. I remember watching the show in 1983. Now I'm sad. 34 years have passed, as of today. Where did it all go?
I love that medley that's played during the funding card.
Also, did anyone else want to live in that modelled neighborhood shown at the end of every episode? It looks so nice!
Me too! 😊
OK, Because I've noticed a handful of episodes with the NET logo (which edit the actual logo being formed after the building fades out), and being replaced with this card.
But I take it that after 1995, all the post-1979 episodes edit that card out and replace it with the Family Communications logo and the 1979-2001 model neighborhood (not to mention replacing "Tomorrow" with "It's Such a Good Feeling", and separate funding credits as well). Am I right?
I always wondered as a kid if that big red building was another place he lived in.
Maan Mister Rogers had like the best, most memorable music.
"I love the ending slide with the trolley and episode number - the music that plays during it just takes me back. I probably hadn't heard it in at least 25 years. :-)"
Especially for all of us who haven't seen this since they stopped showing these episodes in the 90's!
I watched the full episode back in 2013. But it was in high quality like the twitch one.
Show 1315? Wo that's a lot of shows. :)
it was always sad when the show was over for the day. fucking memories like a mofo
@CelesteK The color shows started at 1001, so this is actually the 315th show.
wonderful memories , wonderful times
No trolley through the Neighborhood til 1981
Oh Pavarotti, RIP
I'm 49 and that title card music and probably mutual of Omaha's wild kingdom theme is the best take me back melodies I can think of
I have often wondered if that trolley card at the end was intended to show the trolley going between both neighborhoods
This!!
Yeah. The red building always intrigued me.
Me too!? 😮
I miss watching this
Am I the only one who was scared of the trolley card music from 2:08-2:20? As a child I would have to leave the room or turn off the TV. Maybe its the way its starts off high pitched.
I found the sound unnerving to be sure. It reminds me of a "softer" version of the 1971-84 PBS P-head ident, which I had a love/hate relationship with. There was definitely a "scare" element to it that was hard to pinpoint, and the graphic itself was okay. That being said, watching the show MRN itself were some of my favorite childhood memories.
2:12 you remember the screen gems night mare well I remember that and it kinda spooked me as a child...but still ITS HERE!!!
lol me too
R.I.P. Mr. Rogers :(
Could be a local deal with the station itself if they cut out of the episode early.
May 4, 1973 is the OAD here
It may be my memory playing tricks on me, but I seem to remember there being an alternate riff that went with that slide. It ended with a flute arpeggio. I'm guessing it was used earlier, before the more well-known piece of music was used. Or maybe it was a figment of my imagination.
I like the music at the ending title card starting at 2:07.
RIP old PBS shows
