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

@squishymage42 Yaaaaaay!

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

@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

@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.

[squishymage42@dice.camp]

@arisummerland I watched the making of video for that Lady Gaga commercial and it was cool that even though there's this realtor commercial thing, the music people still put love and feeling into doing the song right.

[mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca]

@squishymage42 I had a nightmare exactly like that.

[mlanger@mastodon.world]

@squishymage42 @jdarnold I think this is excellent considering how the orange clown's administration is gutting PBS.

[serge@babka.social]

@squishymage42

A-MAZING.

I have a collection of the episodes through "less than ideal means" because they haven't released them on DVD. This is a godsend.

[chip_unicorn@im-in.space]

@squishymage42
Do it! It's wonderful, imaginative, and so relaxing.

[thumper1964@mindly.social]

@squishymage42 @boogiechild I would be so up for a Mr. Rogers marathon. Maybe a week-long one.

@squishymage42 Watch and listen to what he says carefully. I think my generation got some of it wrong when passing it along as parents. He says we are each special, not the we are especially special or the best. It's actually a bit nuanced, and I think we've muddled it a bit.
