The Best Children's Show Ever Made. Educational and Positive.......2005-07-31

This DVD is very good because it includes an excellent episode on music. The other Mister Rogers DVD available at Amazon.com is also great because is focuses on friendship and love.

Mister Rogers' Neighborhood is probably the best show ever made for children, because he understands the educational and emotional needs of young children. It may not be obvious, but quite a bit of thought was put into the design, format and content of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.

Mister Rogers teaches young children to value themselves and respect others. He speaks to them directly on his show and encourages them to use their creativity. He brings them on field trips to interesting places, like a farm, bakery, barber shop, and balloon factory.

He is a good person - an educator - to invite into your home and share time with your child. If your young child does not watch Mister Rogers, she should. His goal is not catchy entertainment, but to help very young children with their early development. His message is simple.

"You're special.

"I like you just the way you are.

"There's only one person in the whole world just like you."

His television show is not as popular as it used to be (once hugely popular) and not as popular as other commercial, shallow television programs. It is not targeted at adults. Instead Mister Rogers is educational entertainment for young children ages two, three, four, and five; the little ones learning to count one-two-three-four-five, tie their shoes, and just beginning to understand themselves and their worlds. That's why Mister Rogers's Neighborhood is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics - your child's doctor.

Fred Rogers is a genius of early childhood education. He wrote over 150 songs, produced and wrote almost all of his shows, and staged most of his puppets himself. He collected four Emmy Awards, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Academy of Television and Arts Sciences, numerous honorary degrees, and other awards. One of his red cardigan sweaters is enshrined in the Smithsonian Institute. Despite his success, he refused opportunities to get rich off his fame and remained a humble man committed to his cause of quality entertainment for young children.

He became widely recognized as a trusted authority on early childhood education, testifying before Congress and interviewed frequently. In an Associated Press Interview he said, "We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say `It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.' Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes."

Fred Rogers is one of the unsung heroes of our society, helping children to learn about themselves, learn about the world, like themselves, and respect other people. He was very special.

Mister Rogers is excellent entertainment for your child. This DVD is highly recommended.

SUCH A GREAT DVD.......2005-05-03

I bought this DVD for my best friend's daughter along with the other Mister Rogers DVD ("Adventures In Friendship") and she LOVES them. She has made me watch it with her at least 10 times. I can only imagine how many times she has watched it when I haven't been there!? She loves to sing-along to the DVD even though she can't really understand the words yet. Aren't kids just too funny sometimes!? If you are looking for a DVD for a toddler. THIS IS IT. --- EDUCATIONAL --- ENTERTAINING --- PERFECT!!!

A Child Icon!!!!!.......2005-05-01

Fred Rogers was the host of this long running show. This DVD includes 2 episodes of the show, games, & more. Enjoy!!!!!

Oh, how I wish I could live in his Neighborhood........2005-04-09

Wouldn't that be lovely!? Well at least now we can bring a little of it back home with us into our neighborhood. My niece turns four this month and I look forward to giving her this and the Mister Rogers- 'Adventures in Friendship' DVD. I know she is going to love it as much as I remember loving this show. Her mother and I would watch it everyday. I have such great memories associated with this show. What a pleasure it will be to create some new ones with my new niece!

Filled to the brim with positive reinforcement and educational material taught at a slow pace so children can absorb it, Mister Rogers, remains after 30 years on PBS one of the best possible educational shows on television. Mister Rogers makes every child feel special and loved while helping them learn the moral lessons that are missing in so much current children's programming.

I would give this DVD more stars if they would let me... like 75 or so. :)

A Red Sweater, A Warm Smile and Memories To Last A Lifetime.......2005-04-07

Mister Rogers is a classic. A show that began in my parents time, that raised most children in my generation and now my children love it as well. What an amazing show that can span so many generations and yet be loved by all. Mister Rogers is one of those nice people who just make you feel good about yourself. I read him say once that the three feet between him and the children sitting in their homes from California to New York was sacred space and he dedicated his life to honor that space and those children. Such an amazing man. Anyone who has watched the show with their children know how delighted they get when he comes on the screen.

Mister Rogers Neighborhood is an educational springwell and a delight to watch. If you want the best for your kids, this is a MUST-HAVE DVD!

Slow, Plodding & Dim.......2007-07-06

Mr. Rogers is supposed to be some great teacher for the kids, but is he? He's not a good role model for the kids. Why?

1. Never changes clothes. HYGIENE!!!!

2. Doesn't have wife. Shouldn't adults model appropriate lifestyle choices.

3. Has imaginery friends. WEIRD

4. Foot issues.

A beautiful day in the neighborhood.......2007-06-06

When Fred Rogers passed away in 2003, I was surprised by the welling up of emotion I felt... I had, of course, watched him on TV when I was little and alwys liked him, although I intuitively knew the show was a bit babyish... Then, when "Sesame Street" came along, I switched my allegiance... I wanted to watch the more "grown-up" show...:-) but I always felt a lingering fondness for Mr. Rogers, and while an increasingly cynical popular culture made fun of his doting sweetness, I never did.

Now, a parent with a child of my own, in search of non-disturbing entertainment that won't insult the intelligence of a little kid, I've come back to Mister Rogers' neighborhood, and it feels like home. Sadly, amazingly, inexplicably, there are only three DVDs of Mister Rogers material to be found(!) and they are all from his later years, when his hair was grey and he tended to drop things a lot... But the sweetness, the sincerity, the earnest desire to make the world a better place still comes through loud and clear. Mister Rogers is a comforting presence, and his Land of Make Believe is still as magical as ever: we were hooked. It's a pity you can't see all the old stuff, too -- I imagine in a few years it will all be available online as downloads, but I'm sad that we will have to miss it, when the time is so right. Oh, well.

Anyway, these DVD editions are nice, although they do have their quirks. "A Day At The Circus" is one of the best because it has two stand-alone episodes, one about visiting the circus and another about making music. The footage of live animals and chats with various circus performers is nice, and as ever Mr. Rogers aims at making life easier for the littlest people: one of the messages he gives them is that it's okay to want to leave the circus if you feel you've "had enough", and that it's okay to say so to your parents.

The other discs are wonderful, too, though a little more problematic in that they tell whole stories, but in a fractured fashion. As longtime viewers will know, Mr. Rogers would continue plotlines from day to day, so that a story might begin on Monday but not be resolved until Friday... So for example, in one storyline two Make Believe characters get in a fight, but the resolution comes several days later. All very well and fine, except that there are only two episodes on each disc, so we see the beginning, and get the set-up, but when the next episode comes up there are references fto all many events that happened in the interim -- the lesson is still learned, but the gap in the narrative is disconcerting, and shows a surprising lack of respect for the audience. Nonetheless, this was a wonderful show, and if these discs are the only material available to households that do not watch "real" TV, they are still certainly worth watching. Hopefully the folks at Anchor Bay (Rogers' company) will open the vaults soon, and more Make Believe magic will be available again.

Such a wonderful show. Such a wonderful DVD. .......2005-04-12
