*Brodie* · 02-27-2003, 02:46 PM

Any one else find it odd that the man (tv show wise), lived in a house with a puppet monarchy in his wall.

*Eye of Sarnath* · 02-27-2003, 03:18 PM

Yes... I lost sleep over that as a child.

*J Legault* · 02-27-2003, 05:18 PM

Oh man Mr. Rogers thats been doing learn shows for many years.

It'll never be a beautiful day in the Neighborhood again.

I was sad when the Great Chuck Jones died in a year ago.

*That Matt Guy* · 02-27-2003, 05:35 PM

He also did all of the voices to those puppets too.

*Voltron* · 02-27-2003, 05:38 PM

Mr. Rogers, Dave Thomas. WHY MUST THOSE WE LOVE ALWAYS FEEL THE BITE OF THE REAPER?! DAMN THIS EXISTENCE.........

TMNT571 · 02-27-2003, 05:45 PM

Yeah those crazy puppets scared the **** out of me as a kid.

i mean come one they where freaky looking puppets. I am glad the puppets died with him but i am said that he died.

~~PWDESAI~~ · 02-27-2003, 05:58 PM

hmm not the most sympathetic responses i've ever heard

*Jephael* · 02-27-2003, 06:00 PM

Anyone remember that one dude with the baggy eyes, orange hair and a big nose? He just popped into my mind. He was freaky!

*That Matt Guy* · 02-27-2003, 06:33 PM

You must be really wimpy to be scared of a puppet, especially one thats being puppeted by Fred Rogers. Mr. Rogers was awesome, and the King Friday puppet was too!

*Kameko* · 02-27-2003, 06:55 PM

I grew up watching Mr. Rogers. I loved it all -- the projects, the puppets, the trolley, the visitors, the song. I think his show is probably one of few 'children's' shows (ie Barney, Teletubbies...) that I would be able to sit down and watch with my baby brothers without wanting to puke.

Did you know that he was also an ordained Presbyterian (sp?) minister?

He was also awarded in 1993 for the longest running children's program ever. It had been on for 25 years at that point.

He will be missed.

I would like to thank my 2 year older cousin for getting me in the habbit. 2001 was when I revised my knowledge on TMNT. And today I'm a bigger fan than I was years ago. I have all 3 TMNT Movies, current Toon, and old school Toon on DVD.
