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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.....
