Mr. Rogers has always given me the creeps since i was old enough to watch television. not only that, i thought he was boring. granted, sometimes i'd stick out the creepiness and boredom just in case i might catch the land of make believe (i wanted to be in that land, too). but usually, i'd flip through the channels to try and find sesame street, electric company, or three's company (god knows why). if none of that was on, i'd go out in the hills by myself amidst the threat of possible rattlesnake bites and pretend i was in the land of make believe all by myself.

Ah, c'mon... (none / 0) (#2)

You outgrow him pretty quick, it's easy to make him the subject of parody, he's a bit simplistic for any kid past the age of 7 (or in the case of the amazing Phoebe, 3), but you just can't dig up any dirt about the guy. I can think of far more insidious and questionable influences on children than Mr. Rogers. Barney, for example. He simplified things WAAAAY too much. What really impressed me was that Rogers did a week about kids suffering through divorces. I mean, that's just sad. So I don't think he simplified it. Hell, I wish I were more like Mr. Rogers sometimes. Although I'd cream his ass on "Bohemian Rhapsody." I still just can't knock the dude.

And he kept religion out of it. Dude's a total separation-of-church-and-state champion, whether he meant it or not.
