As a child of the 80's...You know i certainly grew up on Mr Rogers, and i sincerely hope that when i have children they can grow up watching great shows such as this one. Hope is the key word. Too much has been put into what will "sell" and that is somwhat sad; i think. What will we do W/O Fred Rogers? Damn i hope i can find his program on DVD in the future for my children. It holds in it simple, timeless lessons to be learned by youth of all generations.

What a hero! Mr. Rogers saved PBS.. without his testimony there never would have been a sesame street or any of the other great programs they produced.

i was just saying, whenever they have a wierd long drawn out monologue it sounds like a deeper voiced Mr. Rogers

Family Guy isn't worthy of mention in the same breath as Fred Rogers.

When I was little, I never watched his show. I just made fun of it and thought he was a weird guy.I just got done reading about his life and watched this video and his 1997 Emmy acceptance speech, and I've got tears in my eyes.I'm 20 years old. Hopefully one day I can show my kids his show, and maybe they can become a better person than me.

Fred Rogers was one of the most wonderful human beings that God has ever blessed the world with. Thanks so much for posting this.

The judge guy was all like "Would you feel better if you read it out loud? BWAHAHAHAHA" then he was all "Oops, you made my heart melt Mr. Rogers."
