You know, it's nice to have any surviving cast member from Mister Rogers recall their time on the show.
I know
They’re pretty rare to find
Yeah I know
Especially Mr. McFeely since he's probably the most iconic person on the show next to Fred himself
I was born in 1967 and am grateful that Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street were an important part of my young childhood. Also Miss Lois from Romper Room in St. Louis. I believe it was a great time to be a kid, and I wish today’s children had the same experience.
rest in peace fred rogers and caroll spinney
The joys of Public Television.
#remembrance of in the memory of Fred Rogers and Caroll spinney may both of them Rest In Peace
RIP Carol Spinney 🥺. He passed away almost three years ago
Yeah
Sesame Street was another good Kids show from the 70's till mid 2'000's! The groovy funky theme song from the 70's was just perfect and the classic cast will never be forgotten. It's like i'm a kid all again and life was so enjoyable not having to stress with today's madness, being able to have the family today.
Wonderful seeing this! Wow, had no idea Carroll was also the voice of Oscar the Grouch! :)
Rip Caroll Spinney and mr Fred Rogers
