the world lost a great man when fred rogers died yesterday... personally i watched the show every day for about six years, and mr. rogers was my hero for most of my early childhood... i wish there were more people like him in the world... did anybody else here watch as much "mr. rogers" as I did? -------------

I did, and am deeply saddened by the loss.The little red trolley has made it's last run. He will live immortal in our hearts, and minds, as we watch his show with our children, and our children's children. God bless, and may the Lord rest your soul, Fred Rogers.

I watched Mr. Rogers ALOT when I was just a wee lad... but what would really kill me?if Mr. Conductor from Shining Time Station died... I would curl up in a ball and cry for a LONG TIME.... that was MY favorite childhood television show  I still wouldn't mind living on the Island of Sodor... they pack so much fun stuff and great economy into such a small island... and so many great stories..... I wonder if they were still making new Mr. Rogers Episodes recently (within last 5 years?) Official 68k videographer |

The world lost when Mr. Dressup died too, any Canadian can back me up on this one. I read Mr Dressup and Mr Roger's worked together, I think in the 60's.Editor of the printed word, Ministry of 68k Truths (mini6)

Just the first year or so, it was awesome in the beginning, the CGI stuff I saw recently was good too, but I liked the first season. The kid grew up on Mr. Rogers and Shining Time Station and I watched it with him . . . luckily, I haven't matured quite as much . . . :rolleyes:Wait'll you guys get to watch Mr. Rogers with your own kids, it's a real treat. Farewell, Fred! jt  ™.
