So today we are going to talk about Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, the classic childrens TV show that ran from 1969-2001 featuring a man, his puppets, an occasional neighbor and some fish that he always fed.
So today we are going to talk about Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, the classic childrens TV show that ran from 1969-2001 featuring a man, his puppets, an occasional neighbor and some fish that he always fed.
Why talk about this? Well this weekend after about a decade in storage, the studio where it was filmed in Pittsburgh reassembled the neighborhood of make-believe for people around the world to tour as part of their special christianing of the Studio after the late Mr. Rogers.

Over 5,000 people came to tour the set from all over the country.
Some of my memories about the show:
He always fed those fish, every episode... and that was it... its like the fish didn't really have a purpose now that I look back. They should of named them or something.
He always put those VHS tapes into the wall... and his picture became a TV screen... cool I guess but pretty impractical as he always stood up to watch it. The guy needed a lazy boy or something.
The land of make-believe wasn't that creative of a name really, and why a trolly?
What did they make in the factory in Mr. Rogers Neighborhood? I remember the pink building was a factory but I can't remember if they ever built anything there
Why did they have Frank Rogers do all of the voices, seriously he wasn't a voice actor and looking back now it sounds pretty bad. If this was modernized their would be at least 5-6 voice actors on the crew. For better or worse I don't know maybe that was part of the charm?
X was the owl, Daniel was the Lion in the clock, there was Prince Henry, the king, Isabella his wife, Pricilla the Pussycat... anyone else remember any of the others? What was the live actor girls name?
Fell free to share so Mr. Roger's memories.
