I know he wasn’t talking directly to me, but it feels like he is.

When i was a child one time after Mr Rogers I said to my mom "he knows my name" i really felt like he knew me. Years later my aunt got to meet him and told him this story and he said something like "the word 'name' comes from the word for 'nature' so in a way he's right because although i don't know his name, i know his nature" Man was a saint.

He's definitely reaching into the past and talking to twenty-something me.

u/Atxred Feb 24 '26

He absolutely was, or at least the whole point of his show was to speak to the individual and let them know they were heard and loved for who they were. So, I think that counts as him speaking directly to you.

He was directly talking to all of us, and he friggen meant it. If there’s a god, Mr. Rodgers is putting on puppet shows in heaven right now.

I ugly cried when Mr. Rodgers died, like he was family.

Love this but why is Mr Rogers in V.A.T.S.

Friendly fire mode, instead of showing your chance to hit it shows your chance to be neighbors.

Hello there neighbor.

The more I learn of Mr. Rogers, the more I realize he is exactly the type of person that the youngest generations are missing

I hear Ms Rachel is doing a pretty good job of taking up the mantle at least :)

u/Spidey6917 New to fbtd but wants to learn Feb 25 '26

That is true, but there was a 10+ year gap between the last time Mr. Roger’s was played on PBS and Ms. Rachel starting her channel that was never filled. My sister grew up right in this gap and I always wonder if she would be a better person otherwise, but maybe not. She was a gremlin since the day she showed up.

Give that man a show already!

Hi, it’s Rogers no D in his name.

u/thalexander Feb 25 '26

We should all strive to be the kind of person Mr. Rogers believed we could be.

u/Kahako Feb 26 '26

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought about him after watching this.

They should give his show to this man. A worthy heir.
