So apparently Fred Rogers Productions just started a new YouTube channel where they'll be uploading every episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood

@squishymage42 I watched a bunch of eps of it years ago online and my favorite thing as an adult is watching his interactions with other adults when he travels to another location, because he basically tried to ask them the types of questions a child would ask, and some of his tour guides understood he was asking on behalf of kids and some of them seemed really confused as to why this grown man filming with them was asking mid tour if lighthouses have bathrooms or whatever

@squishymage42 "What would Fred Rodgers do" is a pretty good way to live your life.

[squishymage42@dice.camp]

@kib Yeah, and never asking like it's "the dumb question I have to ask, because of the kids"

[kib@shotjr.net]

@squishymage42 he's so sincere with how he asks that I kinda can't blame people for thinking they're his questions, man was just a master at his craft

“Can you say ‘monetize’? I knew that you could.”

@squishymage42 this is what the world needs right now.

[entangledpear@mastodon.social]

@squishymage42 I think this just might be what I need now. Thanks for letting the world know ️

@squishymage42 Yaaaaaay!

So I actually heard his show's theme song in a commercial yesterday, and I was incredibly disheartened.

[chip_unicorn@im-in.space]

@squishymage42 I'm watching the first episode for the first time in over 40 years.

It's... spectacular. It's run on a tiny budget, but it's deeply imaginative.

I would so want to run this with a conversation alongside, so that everyone can react to Mister Rogers.

@squishymage42 @Chip_Unicorn some people just want to see the world learn.

@squishymage42@dice.camp FINALLY

[justcameheretosay@beige.party]

@squishymage42

If only they’d set up a PeerTube instance.

@squishymage42
There goes the neighborhood, Alex!

[lacybarry@climatejustice.social]

@squishymage42 awesome! I thrived on this show as a kid.

[michaelgemar@cosocial.ca]

@squishymage42 @mpjgregoire We SO need Mr. Rogers in these times.

[bruce@allovertheplace.ca]

@technocounselor Mr. Rogers would have approved of that.

[craftydifficult@hoosier.social]

@squishymage42 This is cool, I just wish it was on PeerTube

[squishymage42@dice.camp]

@Guillotine_Jones It was a neighborly day

[squishymage42@dice.camp]

@Chip_Unicorn Oh, now you've given me the idea to break out the projector and invite over the friend with a kid the same age as mine to have a watch along

[c_reider@sonomu.club]

@squishymage42 incredible. hell yeah.
