Oh my stars! I loved his show and it’s amazing how his voice brings back so many memories. He’s so correct. It was the beginning of the deterioration of the families. Then the break down in morning children shows.

I loved this man when I was a small child. God bless you Mr. Keeshan... my Captain!

[@rogerweafer2179]

I would probably re-watch the whole series.

One of my childhood staples, along with The Lone Ranger and many others.

Bob Keeshan and Fred Rogers were the Alpha and Omega Gatekeepers of Childhood.
Those two incredible men maintained a world where being a child was honored and never less than upheld.
They were never demeaning, they never talked down to and never once displayed requirements for the child to become a miniature adult.
They spent their time in UNDERSTANDING the unique gift of a child's Intellect and Sensibility while structuring their programs to specifically address and reflect each.
They taught CITIZENSHIP in a child's own language and terms. They valued that much missing today quality known as FUN.
Their programs created a safe world where a child was celebrated and affirmed as a unique, cherished, and equally valued human being.
Creativity ruled. Imagination was endlessly coaxed and teased out; given full reign. PLAY of all sorts informed every single part.
Bless these Men, both for their bravery, steadfastness and qualitatively concerned love.
