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?

    He was a nice, calm, gentle man who talked about emotions and feelings, and I really did not have that in my life.

    He also, alongside superman and many others, helped destroy the third Klan, which is nothing to scoff at.

    And i liked the segments where he went to someone’s job factory to show how their job worked and how the factory or plant worked.

      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.
