Never encountered Mr Rogers before and have to say his very disturbing. Beyond creepy, is this a spoof trailer of a horror movie?

You're kidding, right?


I can understand when you're not a child it seems weird. That's not really the guy who plays Mr. Rogers fault though. He had to read off of a script that was vetted by child psychiatrists. Even if he improvised a word they had to go back a re-record the scene as it was written and vetted. So some of his wooden line delivery and carefully chosen wording does seem a bit odd to me now. When I was a child though, he was my neighbor and I loved watching him.

Growing up in Canada without cable, I seldom watched Mr. Rogers (we had Mr. Dressup ) so I can understand how his demeanor can seem a little... different than how most people operate on television or in person. I found the way Mr Rogers spoke a little hard to get used to, but over the last few years I've come to appreciate the way the man can speak simply and directly, right through the television screen. His words can be simultaneously piercing and comforting, yet always kind.

Without the sift I'd never have discovered the kind of impact he has had *promoting honesty and good nature over a generation of children and grownups.

Dupe? http://videosift.com/video/Mister-Rogers-receives-his-Lifetime-Achievement-Award-1997

I agree with both of you.

What always baffled me was that he had an opportunity to be the Mister Rogers of this next generation and he didn't want that. Why wouldn't you want that?

Like spoco2 said, he comes off like he's trying wayyyy too hard to be edgy, and he seems like a dick.

Prove it!

I finally understand @ant's hyper-sensitive, hair-trigger downvoting tendencies: He's actually the ghost of Mister Rogers.

If only talk show hosts these days actually cared to present information rather than meaningless babble and gossip to fill up a time slot. The only thing that I can think of that was anything close to this on a general television show (Discovery and TLC aside) would be Mister Rogers.

COD4 > WoW


I love COD4, but it's the same thing repeatedly. Headshot, headshot. Hee.. WoW is variety for me.

If you ever get shot in the face by a sniper named Mister Rogers, that was me!
