I honestly can not remember a time in my life when Mr. Rogers wasn't on the air.
Only a few months ago, he did a phoner w/ the classic rock morning drive-time show (Arrow 93.7) and gave a detailed, insightful synopsis of his approach to child psychology and how it differed from childrens' shows today.
Years from now, people studying psychology are going to have to read chapters or books on his methods. Aside from *maybe* Sesame Street and Bill Cosby, I can't think of anyone on television who has made such a positive contribution to educational programming. He's left a huge gap behind him in childrens' entertainment.
