I Love To Talk About Shows We Watched As Kids

@Eeyore122 i loved him to

@tindrummer I don't think I watched it growing up. My little sometimes watches it. My first introduction to Mickey was the "Christmas Carol" version

@hami1091 Don't remember seeing that. Mickey was great in Fantasia.

@MarmeeMarch That's scary

@hami1091 im serious thats why the show went off he thought he was offair and he yells im sick of these lil bastards and it was on air

@Lilnonames I wasn't aware of that but the entire sweater and shoe thing scared me.

@Lilnonames Bullshit. You are confusing this with an old radio show from some time before TV was generally available.

(It is an infamous bit at the end of the show, sthg like: "And this is your Uncle Dan[Don?] saying, 'Good-night': [sings] Goooood niiiiight!
[pause] We're off? Good! That oughtta keep the little bastards happy!")

You might want to get your facts right.

Mr. Rogers became a minister and was assigned to the particular ministry which he created on PBS, his "Neighborhood" show. It seems you never saw it--I did not, at the standard time for it--but, if you ever HAD, you would have seen a guy who tried to explain all manner of hard things to children, showed them his friends, the characters in the Land of Make-Believe, and crafts, etc. He offered a comforting, safe "space" for children; in some ways, he was the daytime equivalent, for children, of what Walter Cronkite was for adults in the evening news.

And before you go running to the "he killed x people in some war & had tats all over his arms", a quick fact check will show you THAT is also bullshit.
