- webcure, on 10/10/2007, -4/+170Dude- you really made my day with this video. I'm serious. I don't care who laughs at me, this dude was really a hero!
I digg Mr. Rogers! - ChiliMac, on 10/10/2007, -2/+116What a strange site. A man speaking respectfully to Congress without trying to be sensational. And at the same time Congress being respectful of him. Listening to what he has to say rather than interrupting and trying to get more camera time. This is the way life should be.
- fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -0/+100Imagine the guts it takes to go in front of a US Senate panel and recite the lyrics to a children's song, with complete sincerity.
- SlamShut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+82Fred Rogers did more than think about kids. He thought about humanity as a whole. He just recognized the power and importance of dealing with kids, who would become the adults who run the world. There's no telling how many of us who are now adults owe a small or large part of our emotional sanity to the message that he brought us every day. He was one of the greatest people of the 20th century.
- mrchin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+65Wow, that felt refreshing! Great video. A great man. We'll miss him and let's hope his show continues to rerun for future generations.
- DualCortex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+60I've noticed Rogers is the only person that brings diggers together.
- dallascorbin504, on 10/10/2007, -0/+51wow. the budget for his 1st show was $30. can you imagine that?
He really was a huge part of my early childhood. Great man. - HA5TY, on 10/10/2007, -0/+49I could not spend my whole life thinking about kids....but Mr.Rogers did.
He was awesome - AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -0/+39Mr. Fred Rogers was also an ordained minister, a friend of mine's friends got married by him. :)
- Charlotte_Web, on 10/10/2007, -0/+37Fred Rogers symbolizes everything that's good and decent in mankind. The world definitely needs more heroes like him.
- supermanred, on 10/10/2007, -1/+31I do.
Anyone else? - GeneralGore, on 10/10/2007, -3/+32Finally, a reason to pay taxes.
- Joeyshinobi88, on 10/10/2007, -1/+28i cried the day Mr. Rogers died.
even though I was in high school.
it was like loosing a friend. - vamos, on 10/10/2007, -3/+28He's awesome and he actually gave a ***** about people.
- PlasmaFlux, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26It's a good feeling
Such a happy feeling
It's such a good feeling to know you're alive.
It's such a happy feeling
You're growing inside.
And when you wake up ready to say
I think I'll make a snappy new day
It's such a good feeling,
A very good feeling,
The feeling you know that we're friends.
It's a good feeling
It's a happy feeling
It's such a good feeling
To know you're in tune.
It's such a happy feeling to find you're in bloom
And when you wake up ready to say
I think I'll make a snappy new day.
It's such a good feeling,
A very good feeling,
The feeling you know that we're friends.
And I'll be back
When the day is new
And I'll have more ideas for you.
And you'll have things you'll want to talk about.
I will too. - TrevorBelmont, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26An open note to all the complainers about re-posting:
If something is re-submitted and hundreds of people digg the dupe, you lose. Complaining is more wasteful than a dupe story. It is also pointless. You might as well go yell at the rain not to fall.
If you're still angry, I suggest you go punch a bag or kneed some dough. - ThinkBox, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24This is the only story I dont mind seeing on the front page for the 4th time this year.
- thenoxx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23Ah, good ol' Fred Rogers.
What most people don't know is that he was also an amazing jazz composer (he wrote all the music for the show; just go back and give it a careful listen if you don't believe me) as well as a Presbyterian minister. Probably one of if not the best Christians of today. - compgeek, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22Rock on Fred Rogers. this man was a huge part of my early childhood watched his program every single day practically. He truly helped shape a generation. he taught us that you can overcome disputes with words instead of violence and then also had the fun things he did like crafts and such. every child even today should watch at least one episode. I'm actually tempted to torrent it for my brother and sister so that they can see the great man that is Fred Rogers. they were born long after the program went off the air and I see them know running around fighting with each other or w/e and it makes me sad cause I know that I took a lot of what Mr. Rogers said to heart when I was younger I didn't get into a lot of fights unless someone took a swing at me (still am that way) I knew to respect my parents and understood feelings of anger and such at a young age and Mr. Rogers played a part in that. a very very stirring speech by a great man Dugg
- ChiliMac, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21Mr Rogers should be watched by everyone. Sadly those days seem to be gone. Respect is no longer given. People do not listen and understand others even when they disagree. To many people think only about themselves and show little empathy for others.
It is sad that today's generation will not be learning from Fred Rogers example. - ziffel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20I think there's an important addendum here: He did all these things without interjecting religion. Fred Rogers taught that people could be decent to each other without implying that any kind of help from a supernatural being was required. R.I.P. Mr Rogers, I'll always remember your neighborhood fondly as part of my childhood.
- tnoy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19This has been on here a whole bunch of times, but still dugg. Hell, I logged in JUST to digg this. He's done nothing but good for children, and will continue to do so for many more through syndication.
- WolvenSpectre, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Ignore this, Idecided to double checkmy sources and it turn out that is and urban legend (sort of) MisteRogers was originally a CBC show and the design of the trolley, castel, and other things are Canadian. Mr Rogers Hired Ernie Combs from Maine, then bought his show and left a year later.
Ernie Combs then joined another CBC show and soon was offered his own and he invented Mr Dressup.
Sorry, to anyone who I mislead by propagting the legend I have heard for YEEEEEEEARS. - super_spyder, on 10/10/2007, -4/+22i can honestly remember this being on diggs front page over 5 times, but i digg it every time
- addiggt, on 07/06/2009, -3/+18What's your problem? I hadn't seen it on Digg before, not everyone goes to the video section so PLEASE forgive me for ruining your day. I really don't think it was worth telling me "***** you" for. *****.
- chukd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Mr. Rogers and his show amaze me everytime I see them. A man dedicated to making the world a better place and he tried to do it to the age group most apt to listen. A hero to the world, I wish his program was broadcast to every kid.
- svenathon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Easily the most genuinely moving thing I've ever seen on the internet.

- doctechnical, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14And let's not forget Fred Rogers had an asteroid named after him:
http://www.space.com/news/mr_rogers_030502.html
Meow meow big space rock meow. - darthmoonman, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16What's wrong ***** don't you wanna be our neighbor?
- YuriSakazaki, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15gtfo
- sedawk, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15Umm, becuase it has been on the video front page at least three times!!!
- gingerbreadcat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12That is the coolest thing I've heard all day. I wonder how many other people he performed the service for and what happened to them?
- doctechnical, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11I knew he was a composer, but I didn't know he was a minister.
Wiki for Mr. Rogers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Rogers - Jeebugorn, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12if only i could digg you down more than once!
i AM a soldier in the US Army, and not just any soldier...i am an infantryman...aka "grunt". i live by a code of honor which you will never be able to understand. i am not a mindless robot, nor are any of my soldiers. they know that they are responsible for every bullet that comes out of their weapon. people die...and when people see their friends get blown up and/or shot, sometimes they overreact. again, this is something that you will never understand. i dont condone any atrocities that our soldiers have committed over there, but that only represents a small fraction of the entire force. that would be like blaming every american for crimes that serial killers commit. we have a saying "one screw up overpowers 1000 at-a-boys", meaning no matter how much good you do, one screw up is what everyone remembers.
i watched mister rogers everyday as a kid. fred rogers is by far the most decent, caring human being i have ever seen on television. i wish that there were more people on this earth like him. - thredden, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11these are one of the posts that makes you login to digg it.
i wish digg could back to things like this more often... - Joe_rigby, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11The Mr. Rogers goodbye.
Seeing Mr. Rogers makes me nostalgic.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=UcvRMHz4mb4&mode=related&search= - AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -1/+12Well my friend's friends are still together.
- Joeyshinobi88, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10dugg for correcting yourself =) wish more people would do it.
- ziffel, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Funny thing about your troll, delta, is that the man you just insulted would've responded to you in a respectful way. Your comment is the attitude he worked to prevent from happening in society. You are the type of kid he was trying to help kids from becoming. Your generation is lacking so much, and you probably don't even know it.
- bariswheel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9It could be on the the Digg Top 10 EVERY DAY AND I WOULD BE FINE WITH IT.
- svenathon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Thanks for helping put it there, this was the first time I've seen it
- akeating, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I want to download all his shows before they're unavailable so I can show my kids.
- TrevorBelmont, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Nice try at trolling there, jackass. way to swim against the current.
- Brianguy2000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8A good man.
- proliance, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Because PBS is funded by govt. grants and public fundraisers?
- jgreene777, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7What do you do with your anger?
- dannyboy3020, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Deal with your anger : :(
- ggnictee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I miss Mr. Roges.
