Who remembers watching 'Mister Rodger's Neighborhood' as a child? This was one of my favorites back in the late 60's before heading off to school at six years of age. My favorite part of the show was when he would take us to the Neighborhood of Make Believe and my favorite two characters in that land of make believe was Daniel, Striped Tiger who lived in a clock and Lady Elaine Fairchild, a puppet that owned the merry-go-round museum. Actually, I believe I had my first crush on Lady Amberline, King Friday's human niece. Other parts of the program that were fun was when Fred would go in the backyard and either do experiments or activities with a sand or water table. There was a picture on the wall that showed film strips and I think it was called Picture picture. Oh yeah, who could forget Mr. McFeely, Chef Brocket, and a few other characters from the human neighborhood on field trips throughout the neighborhood. This was a show that taught children many social skills and prepared them for kindergarten. Please comment any memories of this program that you may have.

    My kids probably liked this show more than I did. I did, however, enjoy the Saturday Night Live spoofs with Eddie Murphy that were done based on it.
