Fred Rogers
The feed package should always include Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. To change the delivery method is a mistake.
Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood is as American as Apple Pie and Motherhood. During the 80's and 90's there were many shows that were directed at the pre-schooler and kindergartner, but I believe Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and Sesame Street were by far the most educational presentations that taught our children how to be good people, and 'do the right thing.'
I agree wholeheartedly with Chris Ware when he wrote "For Fred Rogers to be shunted to the sidelines by PBS when he singlehandedly lobbied Congress for continuing to fund its very existence in 1969 is unconscionable. I imagine that many of the people making this decision wouldn't even have jobs today if it wasn't for Fred Rogers."
If you view the video of his testimony before Congress, you would agree too.
Please keep Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood in the daily feed. America needs him.
Yankee Doodle!
