Mr. Roger's Neighborhood -- Today marks the anniversary of the first time it was a beautiful day in the neighborhood. 40 years ago Mr. Rogers entered our living rooms, changing the face of television with the same ease that he changed his skip sneakers. I grew up watching Mr. Rogers Neighborhood as a child and learned my alphabet along with the many songs, puppets and characters. I wanted more than anything to have a model train that traveled through my house. Along with Sesame Street, The Electric Company and Villa Allegre, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood is a symbol of kindness and simplicity in teaching manners, tolerance right along with my numbers and ABCs. As I raise a toddler now, I am often nostalgic about the shows I grew up on. What are your memories of Mr. Rogers?
And the Oscars... I was going to do another breakdown tonight - 5 days and counting, but Mr. Rogers deserves his own space. So more tomorrow.
