I admit, I didn't grow up watching Mr. Rogers...but now a part of me wishes he was immortal. Just imagine how many kids of this generation he could assist...
Mr. Rogers tackled so many extremely sensitive issues with such dignity....racism (the infamous feet in pool scene), divorce, war, death....... This scene with Jeff was one of the first in television dealing with accepting handicapped people as just people.
My mother grew up with Mr Rogers, and my 3 younger brothers and I were fortunate to have grown up with Mr Rogers as well. Everyone should know what it feels like to be loved and accepted for who they are, so that they may love and accept others for who they are. Mr Roger’s and PBS put so much good out into the world, there was nothing like him before or after, and if I ever have children of my own they’ll be fortunate enough to meet their loving neighbor just like my mother and all of us did, and they’ll be better for it. To all the neighbors out there, it’s you I like. :)
Very few people could take a situation like this- too easily contrived and maudlin- and instead be genuinely accepting. Mr. Rogers' kindness effortlessly cuts to the heart. Thanks for posting.
I never got to meet him either. But I DID write letters back and forth to him. I never got to see or talk to him either because I was always in surgery getting a cat scan or having surgery done.
Ah shit! 🥺😭😢 I wish that I would’ve had Mister Rogers for a dad. I just wish that I could have someone like Mister Rogers for a friend. I just wish that I knew someone like this man who could accept me for being the loser that I am. I find myself being the guy who has to call first and reach out to people, only when I speak to them - I get, “Umm, this is Steve - Right?!”, only to tell them, “No, it’s Steven.” - And then given some awkward excuse. I feel like Brendan Fraizer in ‘Bedazzled’. Anyway, I’m sorry for posting something so stupid and retarded.
No one is a loser, we are sometimes lost, but we are never the last ones to run our own race. Life is hard for a lot of us, the hardest part is to realize we aren't alone and that we can sometimes find friends that help us ease our way through life. I don't know you friend, but I hope someday someone warms your heart the way Mr. Rogers warmed the worlds. I too have a lot of hurt and sadness, but I like to think someday someone out there will bring a nice big bottle of sunshine my way. I don't live in darkness, but on the day's I can't see the light. . . it would be nice to have someone shine that light upon me like an umbrella in the night to block the darkness that swallows it all up. I believe we all have a song to sing, so please don't leave this world before singing it out.
Whom ever gave this a thumbs down? Mr Rogers would’ve loved you anyway.
I wouldn't know.
That is the most beautiful comment you could have made.
it is amazing that this kid introduced Mr. Rogers into the hall of fame.
Amazing
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Fred never breaks eye contact for the whole song. So there couldn’t be a doubt he was sincere.
R.I.P Fred Rogers & Jeff Erlanger

Hi Brad
I wish I could've met this man and gave him a hug
I'm crying right now 🥹
I never got to meet him either. But I DID write letters back and forth to him. I never got to see or talk to him either because I was always in surgery getting a cat scan or having surgery done.
