I think that Mister Rogers' Neighborhood should be mandatory viewing for all children throughout the world. The show at its core teaches empathy, unlike a lot of children's programming these days that have the primary goal of selling merchandise.
If anyone is interested, there's a wonderful 4.5 hour interview with Fred Rogers: http://www.emmytvlegends.org/interviews/people/fred-rogers# http://www.emmytvlegends.org/interviews/people/fred-rogers#

I've always been very impressed with the music and talent of the musicians he had on his show - they actually played live during most of the shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peDn6XQ3bjI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peDn6XQ3bjI for an example.
- colinthompson 10y agoAmazing. Thanks for sharing. Also, +1 on Daniel Tiger's neighborhood. One of the few shows my 2.5 year old is allowed to watch, since the vast majority of them are trying to sell something, or promote disturbing body image messages, etc.
