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?

I feel nostalgia for Mr Rogers, but more for Peewee’s Playhouse, which was basically Mr Rogers made by (and for?) people that do psychedelic drugs.

EDIT: if you’ve never seen it before, you should check it out: https://youtu.be/H9RAVEaYS70

I am struggling to avoid making an inevitable joke about his legal issues.

I always felt kinda bad about what happened to him. I mean, sure, he was caught masturbating in a porn theater. On the other hand… It was a porn theater. Isn’t that where people do that sort of thing? It’s not like he was doing it at a bus stop or something.

Yeah, it was utterly bogus. If there's one place in all of society where masturbating in "public" is normal it's a porn theater. Dude didn't do anything wrong or hurt anyone and he got absolutely dragged. Just pigs fucking people over to meet quotas, or out of spite.

And if you are aware of Paul Reuban's comedy career before Peewee's Playhouse, and what and how Peewee was portrayed in his act, its confuses me that it was turned into a kids TV show.

Same goes for things like, Life with Louie and Bobby's World.
