Fred Rogers (1928\u20132003) was known as a beloved television neighbor to generations of children. His groundbreaking public television series \u201cMister Rogers\u2019 Neighborhood\u201dinspired and educated young viewers with warmth, sensitivity and honesty.<\/p>\n

Filmed in Pittsburgh and first distributed nationally in 1968 by a predecessor of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), the program was innovative and unlike anything on television for children at that time. Each episode of \u201cMister Rogers\u2019 Neighborhood\u201dbegan with its host welcoming the audience into his television house. While singing \u201cWon’t You Be My Neighbor?\u201d Rogers always put on his trademark cardigan, changed into sneakers and then introduced the day\u2019s topic. He discussed many of the experiences of growing up, delicately covering everything from sharing and friendship to difficult subjects like anger, fear and divorce.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
