Unnecessary Censorship: Mister Rogers Edition

GiggleSugar — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 10:14:01 -0700

Mr. Rogers dedicated his life to the provision of wholesome programming to educate young people, inspire their imaginations, and foster a healthy curiosity of the world around them. Enter Jimmy Kimmel. His curiosity stays on one track and one track only - the track of innuendo. He took old clips of everyone's favorite neighbor and "freshened" them up a bit by adding a few too many censors. Before long, our trusty imaginations take over . . .

VOTE: Was Mr. Rogers Crazy Or Cool?

I used to look forward to the daily puppet shows on "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood." They were off the hook. Now that I'm older, I can't help but wonder about the ritualistic behavior the man demonstrated at the beginning and end of every show. Mr. Rogers was on the air for just under 40 years and he never changed the routine! Check out this clip and ask yourself: was Mr. Rogers crazy or cool?

Wee TV: Save Mr. Rogers

You probably still hum the theme song in your head:

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

Sadly, if PBS has its way, future generations of kids will never have the opportunity to get to know Mr. Rogers and his neighborhood as we did. The public television network recently announced plans to drop Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood from its programming schedule next month, removing the show from its daily syndication lineup and only sending it out for one weekend airing each week. The network says it is doing so to make room for new children's programming.

Though today's tots may be more attracted to the fast-paced, high-tech shows that air on Nickelodeon and Disney, Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood stood as a reminder that children need calm and reassuring environments for learning. Mr. Rogers' common refrain, you're “special-just because of who you are,” is rarely communicated as simply. For 33 years he donned his cardigan sweaters and sneakers and spoke slowly and directly to his viewers about reality and make-believe, as well as a variety of other subjects.

The fight is on to save this landmark TV show, and you can join in the campaign by visiting Save Mister Rogers' Neighborhood to learn more about what you can do.

The Cruise Family Goes Green

Molly — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 08:49:50 -0700

The Cruise-Holmes troupe were back in the stands to cheer on Isabella this weekend -- and in their festive St. Patty's Day gear at that. Suri was excited enough about the holiday to get all gussied up in an adorable green dress (since she chooses her own clothes and all), while Katie just took the opportunity to debut her new similarly-adorable green bag. Meanwhile, Tom continued a resurgence of handsome, despite his odd decision to rock a Mister Rogers sweater. This family is just more endearing than ever these days. Obviously there's no way to say anything bad when that baby is involved. Someone get that child an agent. On second thought, she probably already has one.
