I'm too old to have watched Mr. Rodgers, I'm sure Tom Hanks will do an awesome job, but this is a movie I'll wait for on HBO... (If I watch it at all) _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.” |

I watched Sesame Street....but I never recall watching Mr. Rogers. Too dull for my pace at that age. Turn it on Romper Room or something a little more fast paced....and that lady may see me in the Magic Mirror. |

Man, I didn’t think it’s possible to be old enough to predate Mr Rogers

It was on PBS when I was a kid. Even with the limited broadcast channels available back then, I still never watched PBS unless my parents had control of the TV. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

honestly, me either. Like I said, I watched some Sesame Street but was not crazy about it like some of my cousins. I do recall watching reruns of Perry Mason and The Rifleman around that age for some reason during the day.....Three Stooges and Little Rascals in the mornings. |

Me too. Those and the Bugs Bunny cartoons that are now considered to be too racist for TV. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

Mr. Rogers was for little tykes, not hardened 8 year old criminals like the people above. I watched me some Rogers and Sesame Street, Electric Co reruns, Capn Kangaroo, Romper Room, all that stuff. Course at the same time I watched stuff like Ridgemont High on cable. Phoebe... Anyway, I saw the documentary and found it surprisingly interesting and there was a scene at the end that made me misty where he was speaking at a college and a girl came up to him and told him about her travails as a kid with a couple of disorders and she was crying because he was a rare man with longstanding moral authority who never disappointed and never proved the cynics right as pukes like Jimmy Swaggart did. This is just too soon of a jack for my taste, but I'll eventually catch it on telly. I'll give anything with Hanks a shot. It's a departure from roles like Captain Phillips and Sully. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

Some of the cartoons they had to pull are oof. YT has a lot of them. Heckel and Jeckyl, Bugs, etc. I remember in the 80s they still aired ones where Elmer Fudd would get blasted with his own blunderbuss and he'd turn to the audience with a temporary Sambo face. That joke was a common gag in Bugs Bunnies. A lot of Japanese stereotypes post-War too. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

Big fan of Tom Hanks but if you want to watch something truly inspiring about Mr. Rogers, watch the documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbor?"
I watched it last year on a flight back East and I loved it. This man was truly amazing and his love for humans should be something we could all strive to be, even a 1/10th of the human he was.
I realized how great this man was..... |
