Happy Birthday Mister Rogers

[StreetScenes]

March 20 is a big day! first, it's supposedly Big Bird's birthday (though I don't know where they come up with birthdays of muppets...), and he is, of course, turning 6...again...

but it's also Fred Rogers's birthday, and he would have been 81. so happy birthday, Mister Rogers, we miss you! i think i'll celebrate by watching his appearance on Sesame Street--those clips are on youtube: part 1 and part 2. and if you haven't seen the Archive of American Television interview of him (also on youtube: here's part 1), i highly recommend it--he brings out his puppets and talks about the origins of the characters and stuff. he's so...well, he's so himself. and we love him just the way he is.

Very cool, thanks for the link!

Mister Rogers is indeed missed. I'm thankful that a few PBS stations are still airing the programs. I hope that someday in the future we'll be able to see many more classic episodes from the series.

Here's a blog posting about Mr. Rogers that I sometimes re-run.

Hey wait, there's more! I recently re-added the "Mister Rogers Goodbye" clip into my favorites folder. You can find it at the link below, or visit my YouTube page at the link below that one.
