I wish we had more M. Rogers today..... what a treasure that man was.

Probably all the more reason Fox and Friends called Mr Rogers an "evil evil man". Sure their stated reason is because he told children they were special just as they are... the shame of uplifting children apparently and not telling they'll only be special if they work hard and become rich and powerful. But I'm sure his patience and kindness to all people, was a great affront to their mentality, and the mentality of all their ilk. How dare he suggest people be decent to one another.

Mr. Rogers understood children deal with every aspect of this world and dialog is the best way to help them understand and cope with issues no matter how good or atrocious.

Considering the topics and images in the Mr Rogers Trailer one would wonder how is it worthy of the Kids Channel. Death, Divorce, Racism... I'm still wondering what was that stuff the guy was dumping in the pool while the black kids swimming?

@dag Looking at the members who up voted this "kids" sift .

Fred Rogers believed the pain that exists in our lives every day is even more difficult to process. For this reason, he kept it real on his show, despite how much of his target audience couldn't even spell "real." In fact, he believed that it was even more important to equip them early on with the tools they needed to navigate life's most treacherous moments.

If you watched his show, you might recall that he covered a wide-range of topics, and many of them involved things that even adults struggle to confront. In one episode of Neighborhood, the prince has gone missing, and people correctly assume that it's because he can't deal with his parents' constant fighting at home. In a story arc that lasts several days, people search for him and, when he is found, a classmate tells him that he had been scared the prince was dead.

You know why that's important, that the prince disappeared because of real reasons and not "evil dragon" ones? Because kids at home probably wondered the same thing when Mr. Rogers and his friends couldn't find the prince. Instead of skirting around the issue, he faced it head on, as he did with many issues on his program, showing children that they can learn to cope with difficult emotions like fear, shame, and anger. He understood that kids might be innocent, but they still needed to understand how to live in the real world. He taught them to be open, brave, and resilient while owning their feelings, which was something they could carry with them for the rest of their lives. It wasn't all sweaters and fish-feeding, you know.

This looks like a phenomenal doc. I can't wait to see it.

Mr. Rogers was a real pimp.

I grew up watching Mr. Rogers. I love in the beginning of this trailer how he says he didnt feel like he needed to put on a funny hat. He wasn't a character. He was real, and that is what I liked about it. Don't get me wrong. When trolley, would take you to the imaginary castle, that was pretty awesome too.

It's not that Mr. Roger's Neighborhood are some of my fondest childhood memories, but thinking of the show, relates to so many other childhood memories...the look of the living room where I used to watch...my family being around...watching with friends...

Great....another afternoon of crying at my desk at work.

Of course, it's not too early to start getting psyched up for the Mr. Rogers movie. Here's a good interview with the film maker :

A real American hero.
Thanks, Mr. Rogers, for being you.
Thanks again for saving public broadcasting.
Mostly, thanks for teaching multiple generations of kids to be not simply human but humane.

Now even Guinness is pulling all of Roger's records. Ouch.
