Does anyone else feel no nostalgia at all for Mr. Rogers? (hexbear.net)

Dude took off his shoes and then put them back on again twenty times before walking into his own home. When I was a kid I thought his show was fucking boring. I think libs are just pretending to love him because he was a civility republican. CMV.

PS: what the fuck is the deal with Lamb Chop’s Play-Along?

Mister Rogers' Neighborhood finished before I was born and doesn't appear to have in fact ever been broadcasted in my country, nor do I remember even hearing about Mister Rogers until I was honestly probably a preteen watching Epic Rap Battles of History, so... Uh, no.

My mom who was born in the USA a few years before Mister Rogers started its 33-year-long run, however, attests that when she was a kid that she thought Mister Rogers was fucking boring, and she told me that she thinks the whole Mister Rogers nostalgia craze that's been going around for a few years is some trendy nonsense, basically. Though it could be that she just wasn't the right age for it.

I was like, idk, maybe 5-8 when i was watching it, and i do wonder how much age was a factor.
