The Mr. Rogers Quiz!
By Glinda
I remember watching Mr. Rogers all the time as a young girl. I liked him, but didn’t fully appreciate his particular brand of self-esteem building until my son began watching.
Yes, he seems a bit old-fashioned in this day and age, but what is so wrong with that? His message is timeless, the delivery perfect. I’ll admit that the puppets are a bit too slow in this era of lightning-quick cartoons, though. Even I found them to be a tad tedious at times.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t love him still.
How well do you know Mr. Rogers?
And lordy, how much do I love that picture up there??

I loved Mr Rogers when I was a kid–except for the land with the king, etc, that they went to via the little train, even as a kid I thought that was dumb. Otherwise, I loved his show. I met him once, he did an in-house book signing at the publishing company where I work, so I got my book signed. Later that day I happened to ride in the elevator with him and chatted for a few minutes afterward in the lobby. I told him how much his show meant to me as a child, and he actually remembered my name, out of all the people he had met that day and all the books he signed. He was an amazing man–he seemed to radiate kindness. There’s no one like him today. I’m looking forward to introducing his show to my daughter when she’s a little older.
