Wow he was a truly good man. The passion he had just to make the world and people around him a better. Used to watch his show as a kid as well. Looked like he had tears in his eyes at the end there. If only this world consists of people like Mr. Rogers. Maybe we have something to learn from him.

I almost cried when I saw this. My mom was good friends with Fred Rogers, and I met him when I was very young. He was one of those few people in the world who was genuine and earnest in his efforts to make kids feel special and safe in the world around them.

It's been a long time since I watched the Neighborhood...and a long time since I heard Fred Rogers' voice.
I had to fight back tears when I heard him speaking. If ever there was a good man in living memory, it was him. I wish I'd met him, at least once, just to thank him.
RIP, Fred. ( 2 weeks ago by DarthJend)

When I was little, I never watched his show. I just made fun of it and thought he was a weird guy.
I just got done reading about his life and watched this video and his 1997 Emmy acceptance speech, and I've got tears in my eyes.
I'm 20 years old. Hopefully one day I can show my kids his show, and maybe they can become a better person than me.

As a child of the 80's...You know i certainly grew up on Mr Rogers, and i sincerely hope that when i have children they can grow up watching great shows such as this one. Hope is the key word. Too much has been put into what will "sell" and that is somwhat sad; i think. What will we do W/O Fred Rogers? Damn i hope i can find his program on DVD in the future for my children. It holds in it simple, timeless lessons to be learned by youth of all generations.
