Mr. Rogers' Place. Found while goofing around for gomi's thread below. I watched a lot of the Mr., especially with my younger brother. I feel like I know his LR and Kitch. as well as the real house we lived in.
Oh, the excitment. The thrill when the table became a water table. The wit of that wily traffic light. The mysterious picture that showed manufacturing videos on demand...in the Seventies. The frisson of feeding the fish!
Thanks for the cool link. I liked the show much better when I grew up. When I was a kid, it was too "pandering" for me and I wouldn't watch. Now I have a Mr Rogers t-shirt, heh.
I've heard Mr Rogers gave a commencement address at Antioch College one year and the entire attending student body stood up together in unison and sang, "It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood..."
