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?

Same. I'm AuDHD and his show was calming and positive. He spoke and sang about anxiety and fears for a kid who was full of both.

Also, people forget or just don't know how much garbage was on TV at the time. First of all, there was only one day a week dedicated to kids programs and what little else there was, was pretty awful. As an immigrant, with a family dealing with PTSD from fleeing a civil war, Mr. Rogers calming voice and attitude was halcyon to my little brain.

I legitimately loved his show as a kid.
