This is worse than when Charles M. Schultz died.

What a shit way to start spring break.

To those of you wondering, before he died, he sat down and picked out something like 200 of what he considered his best episodes for re-running, and PBS plans to run them pretty much forever.

I never really cared for Charles Shultz. But that is just me. Mr. Rogers was someone that I had hoped to meet someday.

I didnt find Schultz to be impressive either. Mr Rogers was great though.....rest in peace....

It's sad. I remember watching Mr. Rogers when I was lil. To bad he didn't get that much time to enjoy his retirement. I think that his last show was only a few months ago (or a year). I was shocked to find out that one person actually never hear of Mr. Roger before today

. Of course there are some people on this board that didn't know who Mr. Rogers was but they are from out of the country so they don't really count.

You will be missed.

Really? I'll bet that Mr. Rogers would've written the guy a note back saying, "Apology accepted; just don't do it again" if he knew who the guy was.

man! that sucks...... Anyone up for one last trolley ride to the land of make believe?

I did get to meet Theodore Suess Gisel MD, Ret. once.

I cried when he died, (and I was a cold hearted teenager then)

Yeah, I'm onboard for the Trolly

This was how I started my day, too, with the announcement on the news. That guy made a big impression on my life as a youngster and it was, indeed, admirable how he never compromised his values or turned out to be a wierdo. He was our best neighbor.

Lonestar · Post by **Lonestar** » 2003-02-27 03:27pm

Also how I started out my day. Gawd that was depressing. Don't meet that many decent people who aren't "strange" in some way....other than being decent, sadly.

He did a children's tv show called Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.

and he did that show for more than 30 years I think. I don't know how people can seriously not know who this man is.

Do they show it in Australia?

I honestly don't know, but then again I suppose I was thinking of Americans and not other countries. sorry my bad for being a concieted lame-O-American.

On a different note: I want to take a vacation to the "land down under" do you have any good suggestions?

Slowly but surely all the people of my childhood are passing away. Getting old sucks.

A moment of silence for Mr. Rogers...

That is all.

Mr. Rogers was awesome. This makes me so sad... I don't want to think about it anymore.

I don't really remember much of the actual show. But I know I always watched, and he was the best.

Post by **Zaia** » 2003-02-27 05:13pm

You know that huge traffic light that he had, right next to his fishtank? I used to want one of those so badly when I was a kid. I thought he was so awesome.

I loved Mr. Rogers, watched it daily as a little tyke. All gone now, no more King Friday the XIII, Prince Tuesday, Daniel Striped Tiger, Lady Averland or Handyman Neghrey......*sigh*

You know, I watched that show for years and I just got "King Friday the XIII" now.

Vympel lives in Australia, which probably didn't get it.

I like many people grew up on Mr. Rogers. Well, it's a sad day in the neighborhood. He'll be sorely missed.
