Won't you be my Neighbor ...

It's a sad, sad day!

I just saw this article and it's crazy!


PBS is ditching Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood after 40 years



If you’re like us, you grew up watching Mr. Rogers (RIP) change his shoes and sweaters twice a day, followed the trolley to the Neighborhood of Make Believe and enjoyed informational video clips on things like how crayons are made. You also will be devastated at the news that PBS has decided to cut Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood from its weekday syndication after 40 years (it will now air only once a week). We’re not just nostalgic—who else could possibly be better at explaining feelings and sharing to our own children than dear old Fred Rogers? We urge you to head over to SaveMisterRogers.com, created by Brian Linder who feels the program “is still such a special nurturing voice in the lives of children." We couldn’t agree more. Hopefully come September PBS will reconsider their lineup.
