That's it. No more zip up cardigans, or sneakers. He's
a one way pile of dust now.
I watched him as a kid, along with the Magic Garden
and Romper Room. He was a good presence for
children. Although looking back, he had too much of a
calming presence...like eerie or something.
I'll always remember the episode he visted Bill Bixby on
the set of the Hulk...I always thought that was so cool.
Nonetheless, Mr. Rogers is taking the Trolly to the sky
now. He's not my neighbor anymore.

Put up your rememberences, insults, and jokes here.

I always watched M. Rogers when I was a kid. Now anytime their's news about him my Mother brings up the fact that my Dad hated that I watched it and thought Fred was a fag.

I thought he died years ago. But then again I also thought he was the same guy as the "Paint a little happy tree over here." oops that was bob ross.

I had the genuine pleasure of meeting Fred Rogers several years ago and spent a few moments speaking with him. In the short time that I spent with him, I found him to be the nicest man I have ever met in my entire life and I came away from the meeting feeling wonderful and ecstatic about the trueness (for lack of a better term) of his persona.

I, for one, mourn his passing significantly.

I did love Mr. Roger and his programming. It was one of those shows I grew up watching.

This is a sad day. I hope PBS does some sort of tribute to this great man.

Fred Rogers was a great man, who had a profound and wonderful influence on myself, and the other children who had the privelege of watching his show. He will be sorely missed

that's right! Meow Meow like a mother f'er!
I just hope channel 13 stays away from trying to do a
memorial to Mr. Rogers and at the same time sell Mr.
Roger tote bags for $120 to get donations.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I loved Mr. Rogers Neighborhood! I always wanted a little Trollie like he did and he had that stop light in his kitchen and he even had one of the 'flat screen' tv's in the picture on his wall and he would show videos of stuff (I still remember the Crayola factory tour). That was the best show when I was little (next to Sesame Street) he will be missed.

Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood will forever be one of the best pieces of American pop culture. We will miss you Mr. Rogers.

Mr. Rogers has made the "Big Trolly Ride to Make Believe."

Please won't you be, my neighbor?"

RIP Fred.

I don't get it.

This is almost as sad as when Mr. Hooper died on "Sesame Street".

Crap on a stick.

Ah well, he did good...his show made a lot of kids happy, me included. Actually saw him and the rest of the cast at a live appearance when I was like three, and the picture is still up on my wall. A damn fine person all around.

Wow. What a shame. Even though I was into Sesame Street and the Electric Company more when I was a kid, I still occasionally watched Mr. Rogers. I always cracked up at Picture Picture and Donkey Hodey. Rest in peace Fred. Who's gonna feed the fish now????

So now it's time,
To say Adieu,
But I'll have more in store for you-
And you'll have thing's
You'll want to talk about-
I will too.

So long, Mr Rogers. You've touched so many lives, created so many smiles, made so many children happy.

Your tools were simple, your world was everyone's quiet escape.

Your Fishtank. Your Trolly. Your neighbors. Your smile and simple innocence.

You taught us to say "please," "thank you," and "yes Ma'am". Not because you had to, but because it was a nice thing to do.

That pretty much sums it up for Mr. Rogers- he was a nice adult who spoke directly to childrens' hearts. He gave them his undivided attention. He acknowledeged them without overdoing silly antics or being subtley condecending.

You never questioned his motives, never wondered why he behaved the way he did, or why he lived in his neighhborhood. All I know was that I went to his house every day, and for a brief moment, I lived in Mr. Roger's neighbood.

Rest in peace, Neighbor!

God.....What a great, great man. I grew up on him like the rest of you. It's like having a relative pass away. Who will feed the fish!!!!
.....Was Mr. McFeely the creepiest kids character name or what?

[ADF]

There was always some urban legend that he was a sniper in Vietnam.

I wouldn't mind living in Mr. Rogers' neighborhood.

[fluffernutter]

Such a great influence on children everywhere. I hope that only one day I can bring smiles to the faces of little kids around the world like he did. Definitely one of MY influences and I am kind of bummed out now. If I see a red sweater just hanging there next to the door on a hook, I just may bawl.
I am having a hard time remembering the Mr. Hooper death. Wasn't he still young when he passed. The only thing I do remember was Big Bird crying.

Anyway, I LOVED Mr. Rogers.

I grew up with him like all of you here.

He was a simple, kind, gentle man that did come off a little wimpy and faggy at times sure. But he wasn't.

He will be missed.

i never really liked the show, apart from the land of make believe. i always found it terribly boring when he'd take those stupid field trips to show you how stuff is made or whatever (although you people seem to like it). like i need to know how they make tubas...

still, it's kind of sad.. he was a part of all our lives growing up, and he'll be missed

Nah, Mr. Hooper was pretty old, and passed away naturally...but "Sesame Street" really stepped up and used it as a very gentle platform to teach kids about death without scaring the shit out of them...I was only like 3 or 4, but I remember it clear as day...the "humans" on the show had to explain what had happened to Big Bird, but it was like they were talking to all of us...

when asked for comment a devisted "trolly"
responded with the following statement:

" toot toot ding toot ding whistle whislte"


really tho, it's a sad day in the neighborhood of make believe. we will all miss the crazy man who talked to toy tains and addressed other adults as if they were children..
he seems like a cool cat who tried to influence children to use their minds for more than video games and really embraced the power & magic of imagination.
beautiful soul. rock on Fred~

So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we're together we might as well say:
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?

thank god muppets don't die


that is a great line. beautiful.



One of Fred Rogers' on-going messages has been, "There's only one person in the whole world like you." So we understand that every child and adult will experience this news in his or her own unique way, from their own relationship with him and from their developmental level.

Children experience death differently than adults do. Young children have a limited understanding of death. Some children may cry. Some may seem callous. You may be surprised to find that you're more upset than your child.

Children have always known Mister Rogers as their "television friend," and that relationship doesn't change with his death.
