We should all petition Netflix, Hulu and other streaming channels to carry Mr. Rogers re-runs. There are no kids shows out there these days that can come close to having the impact on new generations as his old shows can. I wish I'd had Mr Rogers' Neighborhood to show my son as he was growing up (he's too old to get into them now). Even if the clothes are outdated, I think he'd still resonate with little ones today.
Mister Rogers was the only adult who spoke TO me as a child, not AT me, like so many did. Here I am, 58 years old and Mister Rogers still speaks TO me. Mister Rogers had a power, a power he used for good.
Agreed, Mr Rogers was a very powerful and influential person who has *NEVER* used his power for bad, or evil... He was also very persuasive... As it was him alone that saved public broadcast television...
I am 35. Amen brother. He taught me to be kind to others. Steve Irwin taught me to be kind to animals. And Bob ross taught me to be kind myself. I was lucky to learn from these men.
Am I the only one crying right now? Mr. Rogers was such a GREAT MAN, And sometimes it's hard to continue this cruel world we live in without him. When he was here the world sucked a little less. I love you Mr Rogers Just the Way You Are.
I didn't actually think this would get to me, but it totally brought it. Either that, or one of my co-workers is chopping onions for no apparent reason.
When he said "I like you just the way you are", I instantly broke down in tears. I've been having some mental health issues recently, and this meant the world to me.
TennoSkoom I’m so sorry that you’ve not been doing well. I hope you are doing better now, but if you aren’t I hope you see my comment as one human to another that “I like you just the way you are too.” I really hope things get better!
Me too, I needed today to feel loved. I am alone, only 2 family members will speak to me but they don't live in my city and I no longer have no friends. So I came here in desperation to find some where safe and soft to land and by accident found this and other videos of Fred Rogers. I cried but I felt not so alone. I hope you found some solace too. Take care. And remember we are all worthy of love. 💗
You posted this a year ago according to RUclips, and I just want to say that I hope you are doing better. I had much the same reaction to what he said, and for much the same reason. In the country where I grew up, there was no Mr Rogers; it was my first time hearing it, and it makes it very clear why this man was so important in so many peoples' lives.
Their was once a blind girl who watched Mr Rodger’s show. She heard that Mr Rodger’s had an fish, and she was worried Mr. Rodgers wasn’t feeding him. So, When Mr Rodgers would feed the fish, he would always say he was feeding the fish. Just for her. Mr Rodgers was such a beautiful man. He’ll forever be our neighbor!
Mister Rogers was my pen friend from 1991 until his passing, and in his letters, he was always as kind and loving as we have seen on here. I miss him and think about him often, but am also blessed to have exchanged those letters with him.
@@josefsteiner1544 and The Ichiban, I think that these letters are very private and once I did ask him if I could share one of them with a group, and he said in one of his letters 'I don't know anything about that group, but we have always considered our correspondence as personal and private communication and not for general publication. I hope you will understand.' It was something that I fully did understand and thusly, have respected his wish for it to remain private. Perhaps that is why I could not openly share them. I might make some pictures of the things I received from him, but the contents of the letters I wish to keep private because they are comments of very personal stories that I shared with him.
Dear lord. Not even 2 minutes in and here come the tears... Fred Rogers was a light in this cruel dark world and there will never be another person who was so caring, kind, and impactful as him in childrens television. I was in 2nd grade when he died and i can remember we performed a concert in his honor singing a bunch of his songs.. He will forever be missed, forever be loved, and forever be our neighbor..
It was hard to hold back tears during the documentary: Won't You be My Neighbor. I didn't really cry until the end. The documentary made me a softer person in not to take life so seriously. There is so much Love to give and to inspire others.
The worst thing anyone can find is a VERY OUT OF CONTEXT photo of him flipping off an audience of children, while laughing. XD It was completely unintentional. He was teaching them to count on their fingers on camera, and the method he used left him with both of his middle fingers up when he got to the number "two". He had a laugh at himself about it as he knew it was an obscene gesture but he knew the kids wouldn't recognize it either. XD The man was so pure. I miss him dearly.
I dearly hope I never live to see a day when people dig up terrible dirt on Mr. Rogers. If I can't believe in God, I still need to believe in a person as good as Mr. Rogers.
Not on his show but I wish you would have mentioned that he once sued the kkk and shut an entire branch down. That is something I will always love him for.
wow. I never knew he did that. I used to watch him as a kid in the 80s and the reruns when I was a teen. He was a one- of-a- kind human being with an AMAZING one-of-a-kind show.
It was a bit different. One of the chapters was using a voice actor that sounded like him to send out robocalls raising money. Roger's production company sued for copyright violation and got a restraining order forcing the Klan to turn over the tapes and to stop making the calls. A quick google should pull it right up and with a lot of misinformation.
Can you believe that? He knew he was dying of cancer, but still, he was trying to comfort everyone else! What an amazing heart he must have had. We need another Mr Rogers.
I like how he didn’t talk down to the children watching his show and respected all people either with disability’s or not he loved and respected everyone
Every time I hear his voice it just makes me cry in the best way. He made me feel like I was wanted and loved at a time that I never experienced that and it was absolutely life-changing. Such an incredible person.
He was a rare and gentle soul who loved us for who we were and told us that we were special. There will literally never be another man like him again. I feel happy knowing I got to watch him in my lifetime.
Mr Rogers was an amazing human. I learned and loved and laughed with him. His comment about when there are troubled times always look for the helpers has stuck with me my entire life. Rest in peace Mr Rogers!
Mr. Rogers voice was so comforting. He was one of the reasons why I always try to be a good person. My childhood was the best when I watched him I walked away feeling good about myself and I never looked at others differently all because of mr. Rogers. This was a joy to watch now I’m crying tears of joy thinking about how he was a wonderful man in my life...
His intro was always so comforting. And that was his intent. I sometimes watch his intro on RUclips as a way to ground myself when life gets hectic. He walked the beautiful line of talking to children about heavy topics in a way they can understand without talking down. I remember when I heard he'd died, I went to my room and just sat there in my bed for a little while.
You know, I said this in another comment somewhere, that, Mr Rogers never really changed the world, that was never his intentions... But rather, he gave us the tools and the means to make this world "suck a little less"... You see, there *IS* another Mr Rogers out there, and it is you, me, and each and every one of us... See, Fred Rogers gave us the means, and the tools... Now, it is up to us... *ALL* of us, to carry on what he started... You see, it matters not who, or what you are, "I like you just the way you are"... Let us all carry on Mr Rogers legacy, and be good neighbors...
I had Fred Rogers in my daily life . I was born in '64, so I was right in the perfect demographic, and it was really perfect. When my dad died, I was only 12 and it was terrifying. Even though I was very old for the neighborhood, I felt that it was one place I still belonged.
I had Mr. Rogers too. 😊 I was born in '92 and my mom said that every time he'd talk to the audience via the TV, I would talk back to him like he was in the living room with me. 😂
I didn't grow up watching him, I only found out about him several months ago because of Tom Hanks. I'm so intrigued by his idea that I watch several videos of him, and I can't stop my tears. It's just keep flowing. I guess his sincerity and love can be felt even through the screens.
Same here, I watch the movie at 9 am, it’s almost 5 pm , still watching videos of mr rogers and crying even when i never watch the show when little and that in Mexico the closest tv show to mr rogers show was sesame st.
Dana says- I still can't watch clips of Mr Rogers without crying. As a child of a broken home who watched his show, he made me feel safe and secure and understood. He made me feel like I was good enough, just like I was. He obviously had a huge impact on all the children who once watched his shows, and the absence of his kind heart, mind and voice really shows in the generations who have come since then. He taught common decency, how to love everyone- even if they are different or we don't agree. He taught us how to love ourselves and be kind to ourselves, without doing so at the expense of others. He taught us to appreciate everything and wonder at the little things in life. What a wonderful, God-fearing man he was. The people who never knew him or his show really missed out on something life-changing and wonderful.
They need to start re-airing some of Mr. Rogers’ show. Everyone needs an angel in their lives, and there is no one more angelic than Mr. Rogers, everyone’s favorite neighbor.
OMG I used to love Mister Rogers Neighborhood, this is so nostalgic, PBS should continuously play reruns and definitely put him into syndication, WONDERFUL VIDEO MsMojo
I also think someone should take up the mantle of being our Neighbor. Certainly no one could ever replace him, but I think there are a few who could possibly at least help fill his sneakers. LeVar Burton may be an excellent candidate, what do you think?
hands down one of my all time biggest heroes. I grew up in the 90's, and that meant Mr. Rogers every day like clockwork. I loved him, but it wasn't till I was an adult that I realized just what he had meant to millions of kids across three generations. i am going to cry like a baby when i see the documentary.
We need more people like Mr. Rogers, in today's world where people are horrible to each other we need someone who can show people how to treat each other.
I must say this publicly Fred Rogers was a modern day Saint from heaven that many people today don,t care about anymore and would like to forget how important he was and how much of a wonderful human being he was.Are people that horrible now with those thumbs down comments? This has to be from the young people of today under 40 or under 30 who can,t feel the magic and wonder this man gave for over 30 years to people of all ages! What does it take to get people to believe that God put him on this earth for over 73 years to show us the way of life through kindness and caring. Someone or anyone please agree with this observation because it,s true no doubt about it!!! Is it so wrong for people to be good is it ???Unbelievable !!!
☺️ Mr. Rogers would smile at those thumbs downers and send a prayer out to them. But you and I can drag them into the alley and- 😂 Umm, do you suppose Mr. Rogers is watching....? 👀
I miss Fred Rogers he was my hero when he said goodbye i cried so much i had to hug my dad my mom had a little tears because she loved him also "love u Rogers"
I’ve looked at the comments and most of them are “We need him again we need another Mr Rogers in this cruel world” and I think that’s not what he wanted he wants us to be us and for us to spread his message to others not as Mr Rogers but as us
I was too old to be a Mr. Rogers watcher but he certainly had an effect on my children. I really believe he was part of the reason both of my adult children are kind, caring people.
Heroes are hard to come by. I was born in 1969, and from the very first time I watched Mr. Rogers, King Friday, and Henrietta Pussycat, I was mesmerized. His message was so affirming, and his cadence was slow and thoughtful. He embodied love, acceptance, and taking a stand against evil. He was much more than a messenger of tolerance. He was also a strong man who was unafraid to support ideas and people he knew made the world a better place. What a beautiful and inspirational man. He is no longer part of this material world, but we can all try to be more like Fred Rogers.
There may never be another Human Being like him, but if I could name one person in television who could ever potentially be our new Neighbor, it would be LeVar Burton. If you haven't seen the clip where LeVar was a guest on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, you should. Reading Rainbow was also a wonderful show way back when. Hmm,... maybe a collaboration of the two. Or something totally new. Either way, same heart, same warmth, same love and same messages, just for a new time and new audience.
K1productions "Reading Rainbow" got me into "ST:TNG", which is the only "Star [x]" anything I've ever watched. Capt. Picard is my captain because of that.
Everybody loved this man just for being a kind person. I wish more Christians where famous for what Christianity was supposed to be about like this man was.
He was an ordained Presbyterian minister, but NEVER forced his religion on others. He was able to reach so many people by simply being a compassionate human being.
Mr. Rogers was just an amazing human being. One of the best human beings that has ever graced this planet. My childhood was profoundly affected by him for the better and I still remember so much of what he taught me. He was the friend of entire generations of children and he'll not soon be forgotten.
Im 38 years old and still to this day Mr Rogers is my hero and biggest influence. Fred was the shining image of just being yourself and people will love you for it.
I really loved watching Mr. Rogers as a little kid and even now, as a 35 year old grownup he still is a calm and reassuring voice to hear whose message of "I like you just the way you are" and other positive message still rig loud and true today. His goodbye message/video makes me cry every time I see it cause I really miss him and his words of love and kindness. Kids need them today as much as they did when I and generations of other kids who grew up watching Mr. Rogers needed them.
Another great moment is when Mr Rogers (a deeply committed Christian) shared a stage with Bill Nye (a stanch Atheist) about baking soda and vinegar chemical reactions. They were polite to each other and were able to be civil.
I didn't know Bill Nye was an atheist. But that's one of the things that made Bill Nye just as great. He educated kids and adults like without forcing any of HIS beliefs down anyone's throat either.
"It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood, A beautiful day for a neighbor, Would you be mine? Could you be mine? It's a neighborly day in this beautywood, A neighborly day for a beauty, Would you be mine? Could you be mine? I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you, I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you. So let's make the most of this beautiful day, Since we're together, we might as well say, Would you be mine? Could you be mine? Won't you be my neighbor? Won't you please, Won't you please, Please won't you be my neighbor?" R.I.P, Mr. Rogers. You will always be loved and never forgotten. 😇
I love how he never shied away from tough topics and he tackled them head on, his method was lighthearted, but he understood the gravity of the topic and was never disingenuous about it. He was the light in a dark world. I talked to my mom about how much I missed Mr. Rogers and how we need somebody like him today, and she said to me, we all have a little bit of Mr. Rogers in us. We just have to find it.
I remember that last episode I was in high school when it aired and I told my mom I didn’t want to go to school the next day and she already understood why I was upset growing up with this man!
Because you see the beauty of what kindness brings to a world that can seem cruel and dark at times, perhaps. That, or you forgot to season your quinoa with something tasty.
Loved him growing up. Still love him. He never ran away from discussing the difficult subjects and always had a way of simplifying and breaking down those complex societal issues into more comprehensible parts. A great humanitarian... RIP we love you
I lived in USA from 1988 to 1993, and during all this time we watched Mr. Roger’s neighborhood with my wife and kids. We shall never forget him. Ever! Many thanks for being such a wonderful neighbor.
He was such a great man and I’m so glad I grew up watching him. Truly one of my heroes and this list made me cry. Thank you for liking us just the way we are.
I love Mister Rogers neighborhood. He was such a positive person and had such a gentle manner. He dealt with many difficult topics. I lost my mom my mom at 7yrs age. I appreciate his show and the support it gave me at that time.
He was such an original...an innovator...he genuinely cared for children and not in a weird or creepy way. TV needs more like him but nobody can ever replace him.
I grew up in the 2000s and I'm so very grateful that my parents made me watch this show. Fred Rogers was a man who I admire greatly for all he taught me. I truly believe that I was molded into the person I am because of him. 💗
As a child I just liked coming to the neighborhood but watching him as an adult I cried because every episode was a lesson about living in harmony in the simplest form! He was the best of mankind!
he loved us and he thought we were deserving of his love. there is no better feeling than knowing that Mr. Rogers cared about you... even if you never met him.
I watched "Won't You Be My Neighbor" this morning. I was born in 1974 and grew up in a poor family in a very small New England town. We had three television channels so Mr. Rogers on PBS was something I watched daily for many years. Of course being a 44 year old man now, ex military, current merchant marine, tattoos, metal head, etc..I'm no softy. But within minutes of watching this documentary, hearing his voice again, being welcomed back into the neighborhood and the land of make believe the tears started to flow. It was as if we were never apart. Mr. Rogers was a saint, a national treasure and we did not deserve him. He is dearly missed and will never be forgotten.
This absolutely touches yet breaks my heart at the same time. Fred was someone we all needed in our lives. Notice that I did not call him Mr. Rogers because he was my friend. He was all of our friends. He was so unique and special and the world just isnt the same without him now. Take 10 seconds to think about about Fred. Imagine how happy he is to know ypu are thinking about him! 😭🙂
What a beautiful man...please never stop playing reruns of his show...every child ..young and old , can benefit from his timeless messages of kindness, patience and love...thank you Mr. Rogers
It was hard watching this video not tearing up Mister Rogers was namestay in my childhood and I feel like he still lives on today not just out the memory
I'm not American, so I've just came to meet this person through the movie with Tom Hanks. I cried with the movie, and crying harder just watching these clips. It must have been great to grow up watching such a man. 🥺 We need more like this nowadays...
I watched Mr. Rogers everyday when I was young. I learned so many things. Things I didn't learn in school so when special people were brought in to talk about topics, I had answers I had no right to have. One asked me if I played the violin since I knew all the terms. I said no. He then asked how do you know all of this? I replied: "I watch Mr. Rogers." A bunch of kids laughed since I was now in the 6th grade ( but with a home life that made his show often the only kindness in my world ) The man then said "I don't know why you're all laughing. She got the questions right. None of you did." Years later I had a son and while it had been 15 years since I had seen Mr. Rogers I had no problem with settling down to watch him again with my child. I wrote on behalf of my son and received a letter for him, photos of all the cast and a signed one of Mr. Rogers & a letter for ME! Personalized! He thanked me for sending extra postage (I wasn't sure if they filmed at station 13 in Pittsburg still or someplace else & this was before the internet so I mailed the letter to the station with a special postage to go from State to State in case he was taping elsewhere) & he answered other personal things in the letter that made it clear he had read it and signed it. He may have dictated the letter to be typed but the signatures on the photo and letter were the same and match others I have seen online since. The world has rarely seen such a caring individual. I was graced to have him balancing out many of the ugly things I was hearing in my childhood. While my son didn't hear that at home, he did at school and Mr. Rogers comforted him as a father figure in a way I couldn't. There is a void where he once was.
I'm crying like a baby. I remember watching Mister Rodger's Neighborhood while growing up. I could write an essay about what memories you just brought back. This show was when children were being raised as such. I appreciate my childhood though bad or good because of innocent shows that catered to children. I'm also glad to know that they dedicated the show on PBS... Daniel's Neighborhood to Mister Rodger's.
I love Mr. Rogers so much. I had a lot of horrible things, when I was growning up. Thanks to him, I could exacape for awhile. He had such a pure heart.❤️
I broke down when I saw #5. There’s so much of that happening right now. I feel like Mr. Rogers would be sickened by it if he were around today. We need him back now more than ever...
I’m not crying, you are crying…. What a absolute joy it was to been a kid back then and I remember all these moments. Thanks so much for the flashbacks!! And thank you Mr. Rogers for being all our neighbors!!
The other day in my Master’s Program, my professor brought up when Mr. Rogers talked about looking for those who are helping. He was right then and he is still right now.
I’m 21 and I remember watching Mr. Rogers reruns on PBS with my mom. I wish it was on Netflix or another streaming service so my little niece can grow up with this wholesome man as well. The lessons are still extremely relevant today.
Okay, I was pretty much a blubbering mess from about 10 seconds into this. I love that in a sense he's far from gone. If we remember what he taught and hear his voice in our heads, he's sitting right next to us.
Fred Rogers was a TRULY great human being. I believe so many of us have tears thinking about him because we miss his being there, caring for and about each of us in a personal way. We're all Fred's children.
I miss watching Mr. Rogers. 44 yrs old and still looking on you tube to see reruns. I like you just the way you are too wish there were more neighbors like him. #143.
This man was the greatest. I grew up with him, and he's one of the few reasons my faith in humanity isn't completely shattered. I hope that I get a chance to see him in the afterlife. He was and always will be my hero. *sniffs loudly*
Kaysee Coward do you remember how in between little Arthur episodes they would have that now a word from us kids moment? But this time they had the behind-the-scenes part where they interviewed Mister Rogers and showed us how they made the episode. I will never forget that.
that debut actually coincided with a rerun of the MRN ep ft author Marc Brown, creator of the near-sighted aardvark and his Elwood City friends, as a guest
I never had him in my life until now, and I'm 25 yeard old. However, ever since I got to know about him, the sincerity in his eyes and genuine care in his words have made me cry like a baby. Simple words like "you are special" manage to touch something inside me, and I feel so happy to have footage of a human being like him. I envy all children who had the opportunity to grow with him, and I hope that he's managed to pass his message on to at least one of them.
We should all petition Netflix, Hulu and other streaming channels to carry Mr. Rogers re-runs. There are no kids shows out there these days that can come close to having the impact on new generations as his old shows can. I wish I'd had Mr Rogers' Neighborhood to show my son as he was growing up (he's too old to get into them now). Even if the clothes are outdated, I think he'd still resonate with little ones today.
Twitch is rotating the show with a few others. The run thru them every few months.
I would love to watch reruns myself. Bring back Mr. Rogers!
Yes. Especially these days, even if we can't physically bring him back, we can at least bring back the reruns.
But it's not just a kids show.

Dear lord. Not even 2 minutes in and here come the tears... Fred Rogers was a light in this cruel dark world and there will never be another person who was so caring, kind, and impactful as him in childrens television. I was in 2nd grade when he died and i can remember we performed a concert in his honor singing a bunch of his songs.. He will forever be missed, forever be loved, and forever be our neighbor..
If you have't seen the documentary yet, I'll warn you now...it won't be even 10 seconds in and the tears start coming.
I almost cried too.
It was hard to hold back tears during the documentary: Won't You be My Neighbor. I didn't really cry until the end. The documentary made me a softer person in not to take life so seriously. There is so much Love to give and to inspire others.
Clexanvers X Amen
LOL!!! Me too!!
I’m so impressed that there’s no dirt on this man. He was really and truly a caring soul all throughout his life.
Some folks have tried to create dirt though.
The worst thing anyone can find is a VERY OUT OF CONTEXT photo of him flipping off an audience of children, while laughing. XD It was completely unintentional.

I dearly hope I never live to see a day when people dig up terrible dirt on Mr. Rogers. If I can't believe in God, I still need to believe in a person as good as Mr. Rogers.
Laura Zaetz I don’t want to force you to believe in God. But, why can’t you?
One of the biggest hearted gentlemen in the world
Not on his show but I wish you would have mentioned that he once sued the kkk and shut an entire branch down. That is something I will always love him for.
wow. I never knew he did that. I used to watch him as a kid in the 80s and the reruns when I was a teen. He was a one- of-a- kind human being with an AMAZING one-of-a-kind show.
I never heard that!
It was a bit different. One of the chapters was using a voice actor that sounded like him to send out robocalls raising money. Roger's production company sued for copyright violation and got a restraining order forcing the Klan to turn over the tapes and to stop making the calls. A quick google should pull it right up and with a lot of misinformation.
Damn
@@theapparatus still though
Can you believe that? He knew he was dying of cancer, but still, he was trying to comfort everyone else! What an amazing heart he must have had. We need another Mr Rogers.
I am 35 years old, and that episode where he went to the crayon factory is still my favorite thing in the world.
That segment is one of my clearest childhood memories. It's funny what sticks with you.
Same with me
Forty years old here. Same.
I think Sesame Street had a similar clip at one point? But it’s just not the same.
Mine too and when he showed hoe paper bags were made.
Yes! I’m 34, and it’s the one episode that I remember with absolute clarity.
I like how he didn’t talk down to the children watching his show and respected all people either with disability’s or not he loved and respected everyone
"Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people." ---
Mr. Rogers
Khalid Henry Ooooph my heart
BRB, going to cut down a tree for all the tissues I'm going to need....
I'll be back I'm going to go cry myself to sleep now. 😭😭
Every time I hear his voice it just makes me cry in the best way. He made me feel like I was wanted and loved at a time that I never experienced that and it was absolutely life-changing. Such an incredible person.
Whoever dares to press that dislike button has lost his/her humanity or was never a child.
or maybe they can't see clearly though the tears
I personally hated watching him growing up, I just thought he was boring. BUT he, now that I’m older, I appreciate him that he even existed
The human race is a joke
No one should think that. We're chosen to help others. ^-^
Don't attack someone for the way they feel, or because they dislike something that you like. Mr. Rogers would never want that.
Can we all just agree that Mr. Rogers should be Saint Rogers.
iKollector YES! I hope pope Francis does make him a saint.
Saint Rogers the Gentle
Unfortunately to achieve sainthood within the Catholic Church you need a minimum of three confirmed miracles
@@theshrimp1657 I'd say he's done far more than three confirmed miracles.
I would sign a petition like that!!
He was a rare and gentle soul who loved us for who we were and told us that we were special. There will literally never be another man like him again. I feel happy knowing I got to watch him in my lifetime.
Mr Rogers was an amazing human. I learned and loved and laughed with him. His comment about when there are troubled times always look for the helpers has stuck with me my entire life. Rest in peace Mr Rogers!
Mr. Rogers voice was so comforting. He was one of the reasons why I always try to be a good person. My childhood was the best when I watched him I walked away feeling good about myself and I never looked at others differently all because of mr. Rogers. This was a joy to watch now I’m crying tears of joy thinking about how he was a wonderful man in my life...
That is so awesome to read, wow. ❤️
His intro was always so comforting. And that was his intent. I sometimes watch his intro on RUclips as a way to ground myself when life gets hectic.
He walked the beautiful line of talking to children about heavy topics in a way they can understand without talking down.
I remember when I heard he'd died, I went to my room and just sat there in my bed for a little while.
I'm a jaded cynic, but I still find Mr. Rogers pure and good.
Its like he is the one person in this world that no one could ever say anything bad about.
omg, same here....same here. will always love this man for what he did for me and so many other children who were able to watch his shows.
I’ve actively looked for negative Mr Rogers stories. I couldn’t find any, I’m satisfied in thinking he’s a purely Lawful Good man
Nelson Ricardo same here
because he is
When I was severely abused by my step-father, Mr. Rogers was there and I gotten strength from his shows.
Why can't more people have hearts like him?
:/ I wish
Margann Laurissa because there are Trump supporters
Last Survivor Yeah true. Trump doesn't allow for anyone but him to have nice things.
I'm calling it... we need a mr rogers day
Margann Laurissa he was smart. He even knew that entertainment is the cause of mental illness.
Closest thing I've ever experienced to a modern Jesus. Compassionate, loving, kind.
He definitely acted like Jesus
He lived his Christian Faith, very sincerely.
Mr. Rogers was a beautiful soul. I wish that we were still lucky enough to have him around. I feel like we need him now more than ever.
I think, if we live as he did, he can live on through us
Yes we do.
UR RIGHT KAYLEE WE NEED HIM NOW!!!
Lets not be sad that he is gone. Lets be happy that he was here
You know, I said this in another comment somewhere, that, Mr Rogers never really changed the world, that was never his intentions... But rather, he gave us the tools and the means to make this world "suck a little less"...
You see, there *IS* another Mr Rogers out there, and it is you, me, and each and every one of us... See, Fred Rogers gave us the means, and the tools... Now, it is up to us... *ALL* of us, to carry on what he started...
You see, it matters not who, or what you are, "I like you just the way you are"...
Let us all carry on Mr Rogers legacy, and be good neighbors...
I had Fred Rogers in my daily life . I was born in '64, so I was right in the perfect demographic, and it was really perfect.
When my dad died, I was only 12 and it was terrifying. Even though I was very old for the neighborhood, I felt that
it was one place I still belonged.
A 53-year old RUclipsr? Now I've heard everything.
Magnificent Failure no matter what age you were Mr. Rodgers would have welcomed you with open arms
I had Mr. Rogers too. 😊 I was born in '92 and my mom said that every time he'd talk to the audience via the TV, I would talk back to him like he was in the living room with me. 😂
❤️
Beautiful story xo
Grew up watching him and proud to say so! He was a hero of my childhood!
Add Jim Henson and his OG Muppeteers and staff also. Same for Walt Disney years before.
hazeleyedlady66 mine too
Fuck Walt Disney, but Mr. Rogers and Jim Henson were blessings to every child out there.
The man is a saint.
I didn't grow up watching him, I only found out about him several months ago because of Tom Hanks. I'm so intrigued by his idea that I watch several videos of him, and I can't stop my tears. It's just keep flowing. I guess his sincerity and love can be felt even through the screens.
Same here, I watch the movie at 9 am, it’s almost 5 pm , still watching videos of mr rogers and crying even when i never watch the show when little and that in Mexico the closest tv show to mr rogers show was sesame st.
Mr. Rogers was the most humane human ever. Wasn't he?
Sean Horace He definitely was❤
Could you imagine if everyone in the world had a heart like his
You are so right
YES and these horrible young people of today need to know this before its too late and we all are destroyed by ourselves !!!!!!!!!
@@scottmiller6495 "Horrible young people"? That's a little harsh...
I cried the whole time. I love this man with all my heart 😭❤️
Dana says- I still can't watch clips of Mr Rogers without crying. As a child of a broken home who watched his show, he made me feel safe and secure and understood. He made me feel like I was good enough, just like I was. He obviously had a huge impact on all the children who once watched his shows, and the absence of his kind heart, mind and voice really shows in the generations who have come since then. He taught common decency, how to love everyone- even if they are different or we don't agree. He taught us how to love ourselves and be kind to ourselves, without doing so at the expense of others. He taught us to appreciate everything and wonder at the little things in life. What a wonderful, God-fearing man he was. The people who never knew him or his show really missed out on something life-changing and wonderful.
They need to start re-airing some of Mr. Rogers’ show.
Everyone needs an angel in their lives, and there is no one more angelic than Mr. Rogers, everyone’s favorite neighbor.
OMG I used to love Mister Rogers Neighborhood, this is so nostalgic, PBS should continuously play reruns and definitely put him into syndication, WONDERFUL VIDEO MsMojo
I also think someone should take up the mantle of being our Neighbor. Certainly no one could ever replace him, but I think there are a few who could possibly at least help fill his sneakers. LeVar Burton may be an excellent candidate, what do you think?
hands down one of my all time biggest heroes. I grew up in the 90's, and that meant Mr. Rogers every day like clockwork. I loved him, but it wasn't till I was an adult that I realized just what he had meant to millions of kids across three generations. i am going to cry like a baby when i see the documentary.
We need more people like Mr. Rogers, in today's world where people are horrible to each other we need someone who can show people how to treat each other.
I must say this publicly Fred Rogers was a modern day Saint from heaven that many people today don,t care about anymore and would like to forget how important he was and how much of a wonderful human being he was.Are people that horrible now with those thumbs down comments? This has to be from the young people of today under 40 or under 30 who can,t feel the magic and wonder this man gave for over 30 years to people of all ages! What does it take to get people to believe that God put him on this earth for over 73 years to show us the way of life through kindness and caring. Someone or anyone please agree with this observation because it,s true no doubt about it!!! Is it so wrong for people to be good is it ???Unbelievable !!!
☺️ Mr. Rogers would smile at those thumbs downers and send a prayer out to them. But you and I can drag them into the alley and- 😂 Umm, do you suppose Mr. Rogers is watching....? 👀
I miss Fred Rogers he was my hero when he said goodbye i cried so much i had to hug my dad my mom had a little tears because she loved him also "love u Rogers"
Aww that's so great. ❤️ He'd love that so much.
I’ve looked at the comments and most of them are “We need him again we need another Mr Rogers in this cruel world” and I think that’s not what he wanted he wants us to be us and for us to spread his message to others not as Mr Rogers but as us
My take on that is people are saying we need to remember the lessons he taught us & act on them.
Good point. You can start by sharing your bacon.
@@ahill4642 let’s not get crazy now!
We can ALL be the best version of ourselves and be our own Mr Rogers. That would truly change the world 🌍❤
He meant people with his kind of ♥️
I was too old to be a Mr. Rogers watcher but he certainly had an effect on my children. I really believe he was part of the reason both of my adult children are kind, caring people.
Heroes are hard to come by. I was born in 1969, and from the very first time I watched Mr. Rogers, King Friday, and Henrietta Pussycat, I was mesmerized. His message was so affirming, and his cadence was slow and thoughtful. He embodied love, acceptance, and taking a stand against evil. He was much more than a messenger of tolerance. He was also a strong man who was unafraid to support ideas and people he knew made the world a better place. What a beautiful and inspirational man. He is no longer part of this material world, but we can all try to be more like Fred Rogers.
We need someone like him now.
pathofthedragon agreed
There may never be another Human Being like him, but if I could name one person in television who could ever potentially be our new Neighbor, it would be LeVar Burton. If you haven't seen the clip where LeVar was a guest on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, you should. Reading Rainbow was also a wonderful show way back when. Hmm,... maybe a collaboration of the two. Or something totally new. Either way, same heart, same warmth, same love and same messages, just for a new time and new audience.
the world needs someone like him now more than ever.
K1productions "Reading Rainbow" got me into "ST:TNG", which is the only "Star [x]" anything I've ever watched. Capt. Picard is my captain because of that.
Amen!
Everybody loved this man just for being a kind person.
I wish more Christians where famous for what Christianity was supposed to be about like this man was.
He was an ordained Presbyterian minister, but NEVER forced his religion on others. He was able to reach so many people by simply being a compassionate human being.
@@HookedOnSonics518 That's what we Christians should do not to force religion but to spread the love and kindness to others
Mr. Rogers was just an amazing human being. One of the best human beings that has ever graced this planet. My childhood was profoundly affected by him for the better and I still remember so much of what he taught me. He was the friend of entire generations of children and he'll not soon be forgotten.
Im 38 years old and still to this day Mr Rogers is my hero and biggest influence. Fred was the shining image of just being yourself and people will love you for it.
I really loved watching Mr. Rogers as a little kid and even now, as a 35 year old grownup he still is a calm and reassuring voice to hear whose message of "I like you just the way you are" and other positive message still rig loud and true today. His goodbye message/video makes me cry every time I see it cause I really miss him and his words of love and kindness. Kids need them today as much as they did when I and generations of other kids who grew up watching Mr. Rogers needed them.
He was such a beautiful kind soul...I wish there were more people like Mr Rogers in today's world. RIP dear sir.❤
Another great moment is when Mr Rogers (a deeply committed Christian) shared a stage with Bill Nye (a stanch Atheist) about baking soda and vinegar chemical reactions. They were polite to each other and were able to be civil.
I didn't know Bill Nye was an atheist. But that's one of the things that made Bill Nye just as great. He educated kids and adults like without forcing any of HIS beliefs down anyone's throat either.
colleen too bad bill nye has turned into a narc after his show ended
This is the crossover we didn't know we needed. I need to see it! Is it on youtube
@@1712Overture No, have you SEEN his new online show? Unfortunately, irisheyes is right.
Ya. That's how most people are. IRL the vast majority of people don't give a shit what you believe in
"It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
It's a neighborly day in this beautywood,
A neighborly day for a beauty,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.
So let's make the most of this beautiful day,
Since we're together, we might as well say,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please,
Won't you please,
Please won't you be my neighbor?"
R.I.P, Mr. Rogers. You will always be loved and never forgotten. 😇
Came here after watched Tom Hanks new movie trailer. Anyone?
Meeeeeee ✋
Yes lol♥️
Same lol
i did.
so true
I love how he never shied away from tough topics and he tackled them head on, his method was lighthearted, but he understood the gravity of the topic and was never disingenuous about it. He was the light in a dark world. I talked to my mom about how much I missed Mr. Rogers and how we need somebody like him today, and she said to me, we all have a little bit of Mr. Rogers in us. We just have to find it.
This man helped me survive my childhood.
I remember that last episode I was in high school when it aired and I told my mom I didn’t want to go to school the next day and she already understood why I was upset growing up with this man!
Why am I sitting in my work lunchroom, crying into my quinoa?
serina sommer I literally thought I was the only one. And I was just laughing a few minutes ago watching As Told by Ginger.
Nope, you are definitely not
I’m crying into my fried rice, you’re not alone
Because you see the beauty of what kindness brings to a world that can seem cruel and dark at times, perhaps. That, or you forgot to season your quinoa with something tasty.
This made me burst out out in snot and laughter after sobbing through most of this video. Thank you neighbor!
I never fail to get choked up when anyone mentions Mr. Rogers. I’m truly so thankful to have lived in the same time as someone so pure and good.
I loved Mister Rogers' Neighborhood as kid. He made me feel special! RIP Mister Rogers and thanks for everything you've done for us!
Loved him growing up. Still love him. He never ran away from discussing the difficult subjects and always had a way of simplifying and breaking down those complex societal issues into more comprehensible parts. A great humanitarian... RIP we love you
Honestly we don't deserve someone like Mr. Rogers. What an amazing man he was 🥰
I lived in USA from 1988 to 1993, and during all this time we watched Mr. Roger’s neighborhood with my wife and kids. We shall never forget him. Ever! Many thanks for being such a wonderful neighbor.
He was such a great man and I’m so glad I grew up watching him. Truly one of my heroes and this list made me cry. Thank you for liking us just the way we are.
I love Mister Rogers neighborhood. He was such a positive person and had such a gentle manner. He dealt with many difficult topics. I lost my mom my mom at 7yrs age. I appreciate his show and the support it gave me at that time.
He was such an original...an innovator...he genuinely cared for children and not in a weird or creepy way. TV needs more like him but nobody can ever replace him.
He had such a huge heart. It was never a product, just listening and communicating, and caring. Thank you for the trip down memory lane, MsMojo. #143
I grew up in the 2000s and I'm so very grateful that my parents made me watch this show. Fred Rogers was a man who I admire greatly for all he taught me. I truly believe that I was molded into the person I am because of him. 💗
As a child I just liked coming to the neighborhood but watching him as an adult I cried because every episode was a lesson about living in harmony in the simplest form! He was the best of mankind!
he loved us and he thought we were deserving of his love. there is no better feeling than knowing that Mr. Rogers cared about you... even if you never met him.
I watched "Won't You Be My Neighbor" this morning. I was born in 1974 and grew up in a poor family in a very small New England town. We had three television channels so Mr. Rogers on PBS was something I watched daily for many years. Of course being a 44 year old man now, ex military, current merchant marine, tattoos, metal head, etc..I'm no softy. But within minutes of watching this documentary, hearing his voice again, being welcomed back into the neighborhood and the land of make believe the tears started to flow. It was as if we were never apart. Mr. Rogers was a saint, a national treasure and we did not deserve him. He is dearly missed and will never be forgotten.
This absolutely touches yet breaks my heart at the same time. Fred was someone we all needed in our lives. Notice that I did not call him Mr. Rogers because he was my friend. He was all of our friends. He was so unique and special and the world just isnt the same without him now. Take 10 seconds to think about about Fred. Imagine how happy he is to know ypu are thinking about him! 😭🙂
ppl call him *mister* rogers out of respect, just like you'd call a fancy (cue "everybody's fancy") lady *m'am*
What a beautiful man...please never stop playing reruns of his show...every child ..young and old , can benefit from his timeless messages of kindness, patience and love...thank you Mr. Rogers
It was hard watching this video not tearing up Mister Rogers was namestay in my childhood and I feel like he still lives on today not just out the memory
Mr. Rogers was by far the best tv personality ever. He was so genuine and kind.
Mr. Rogers was a great man and we are all grateful that he was our neighbor.
I'm not American, so I've just came to meet this person through the movie with Tom Hanks. I cried with the movie, and crying harder just watching these clips. It must have been great to grow up watching such a man. 🥺
We need more like this nowadays...
Yes we do n it was great but one thing is he was on Monday - Friday 6am n 630 am
I watched Mr. Rogers everyday when I was young. I learned so many things. Things I didn't learn in school so when special people were brought in to talk about topics, I had answers I had no right to have. One asked me if I played the violin since I knew all the terms. I said no. He then asked how do you know all of this? I replied: "I watch Mr. Rogers." A bunch of kids laughed since I was now in the 6th grade ( but with a home life that made his show often the only kindness in my world ) The man then said "I don't know why you're all laughing. She got the questions right. None of you did."
Years later I had a son and while it had been 15 years since I had seen Mr. Rogers I had no problem with settling down to watch him again with my child. I wrote on behalf of my son and received a letter for him, photos of all the cast and a signed one of Mr. Rogers & a letter for ME! Personalized! He thanked me for sending extra postage (I wasn't sure if they filmed at station 13 in Pittsburg still or someplace else & this was before the internet so I mailed the letter to the station with a special postage to go from State to State in case he was taping elsewhere) & he answered other personal things in the letter that made it clear he had read it and signed it. He may have dictated the letter to be typed but the signatures on the photo and letter were the same and match others I have seen online since.
The world has rarely seen such a caring individual. I was graced to have him balancing out many of the ugly things I was hearing in my childhood. While my son didn't hear that at home, he did at school and Mr. Rogers comforted him as a father figure in a way I couldn't.
There is a void where he once was.
So special that he wrote. Dear man. Such a national treasure he was.
There will never be a better human being than Mr. Rogers. Imagine what a beautiful world this would be if everyone was like him.
We're all Mr. Roger's neighbor. And he's ours. Now and forever.
I grew up watching Mr. Rogers. He was so far ahead of his time. He never patronized anyone. He made me feel good about humanity.
I want a Mr. Rogers Neighborhood Entire Series Box Set
Gol D. Luffy same
I think it's on Netflix
RAch711baby it’s not on Netflix anymore. It’s now on Amazon Prime! :)
Thevidgame oh my god thank you!!!!!
Gol D. Luffy is it back on Netflix yet? Or Hulu 😞
How can 101 people dislike a person like Mr Rogers? He was a nice person that we didn’t deserve.
I'm crying like a baby. I remember watching Mister Rodger's Neighborhood while growing up. I could write an essay about what memories you just brought back. This show was when children were being raised as such. I appreciate my childhood though bad or good because of innocent shows that catered to children. I'm also glad to know that they dedicated the show on PBS... Daniel's Neighborhood to Mister Rodger's.
I love Mr. Rogers so much. I had a lot of horrible things, when I was growning up.
Thanks to him, I could exacape for awhile. He had such a pure heart.❤️
This is a great inspiration list he is one of the best people ever
Thank you a lot for like my comment
I’m almost 40 years old, and crying watching this. Mr Rogers was definitely the real one.
I broke down when I saw #5. There’s so much of that happening right now. I feel like Mr. Rogers would be sickened by it if he were around today. We need him back now more than ever...
I’m not crying, you are crying…. What a absolute joy it was to been a kid back then and I remember all these moments. Thanks so much for the flashbacks!! And thank you Mr. Rogers for being all our neighbors!!
The other day in my Master’s Program, my professor brought up when Mr. Rogers talked about looking for those who are helping. He was right then and he is still right now.
A man so loved by his friend becomes him. I'm filled with the sensation of emotions. I guess we all need a Mr. Rogers wherever we live.
I’m 21 and I remember watching Mr. Rogers reruns on PBS with my mom. I wish it was on Netflix or another streaming service so my little niece can grow up with this wholesome man as well. The lessons are still extremely relevant today.
Every time I watch something like this about Mr. Rogers I get emotional. What an incredible man. I which he was still here today.
Okay, I was pretty much a blubbering mess from about 10 seconds into this. I love that in a sense he's far from gone. If we remember what he taught and hear his voice in our heads, he's sitting right next to us.
Fred Rogers was a TRULY great human being.
I believe so many of us have tears thinking about him because we miss his being there, caring for and about each of us in a personal way.
We're all Fred's children.
Whenever I see videos of him, I end up crying. Gosh was he such a beautiful gift to the world.
I miss watching Mr. Rogers. 44 yrs old and still looking on you tube to see reruns. I like you just the way you are too wish there were more neighbors like him. #143.
He was a great source of inspiration for many. May he rest in peace.
This man was the greatest. I grew up with him, and he's one of the few reasons my faith in humanity isn't completely shattered. I hope that I get a chance to see him in the afterlife. He was and always will be my hero. *sniffs loudly*
I will always love the episode of Arthur that he was on. Arthur was my homie grown up, so see mr. Rogers on there, man that was some good stuff.
CartmanFrost11 I remember the first time that episode aired, I was about 4 or 5 years old and it was so magical to me
Kaysee Coward do you remember how in between little Arthur episodes they would have that now a word from us kids moment? But this time they had the behind-the-scenes part where they interviewed Mister Rogers and showed us how they made the episode. I will never forget that.
I remember being so excited when they played reruns of that episode. It was definitely one of my favorites
that debut actually coincided with a rerun of the MRN ep ft author Marc Brown, creator of the near-sighted aardvark and his Elwood City friends, as a guest
What is it about this man that always makes the tears come flowing like a river? What a wonderful person.
One of the most genuine souls ❤
Mister Rogers saved My Life as a child. He made me feel special. And I miss him every day this generation needs more Mister Rogers.
Break out the tissues.
Didn't need to be said. ;-; It's been done already. ;)
Youtubing Jaguar my personal favorite moments are at number 7, and the first honorable mention.
RIGHT A BITCH IS ABOUT TO CRY
Oh did u whack it too?
SonicSceptileWarrior fffffffvffffffffffffffffvfffvffffytggr f dvx dcehftturfgghyh
I never had him in my life until now, and I'm 25 yeard old. However, ever since I got to know about him, the sincerity in his eyes and genuine care in his words have made me cry like a baby. Simple words like "you are special" manage to touch something inside me, and I feel so happy to have footage of a human being like him. I envy all children who had the opportunity to grow with him, and I hope that he's managed to pass his message on to at least one of them.
To bad u most definitely like his show I know I did i love it
