Mr. Rogers – How Well Do You Know Him?
Fred Rogers has been gone for eight years, and Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood has been off the air on most PBS stations for one. The adults who knew and loved him as kids are left nostalgic for his calm voice and gentle story lines that just aren’t as common in today’s programming for kids (can anyone say Spongebob?).
Gone, yes, but not forgotten. Mental Floss list 15 reasons why Mr. Rogers was the perfect neighbor: He was tolerant, he was exceedingly kind, he never let fame get to him, and every one of his sweaters was hand-knit by his mother. Even Koko the gorilla was a fan.
When you get done reminiscing, take the quiz and see how well you really know Mr. Rogers. I got six out of 10, passing but barely. How did you do?

MoreAnon commented on Nov 05 09 at 2:50 amWe have just discovered Mr. Rogers at our house, and he was delightful! For some reason I never watched him when I was little … but my 2yo toddlers just love him. Our local PBS plays one show once a week, and we record them and hoard them like gold. I wish PBS would run Mr. Rogers all over again! Much better than that “Angelina Ballerina” cr*p and some of the stupid dinosaur cartoons they run.
GP commented on Nov 05 09 at 7:22 amYeah…our PBS station doesn’t even air them. What a shame.
