"Some public stations, as well as commercial stations, program the "Neighborhood" at hours when some children cannot use it ... I have always felt that with the advent of all of this new technology that allows people to tape the "Neighborhood" off-the-air, and I'm speaking for the "Neighborhood" because that's what I produce, that they then become much more active in the programming of their family's television life. Very frankly, I am opposed to people being programmed by others. My whole approach in broadcasting has always been "You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions." Maybe I'm going on too long, but I just feel that anything that allows a person to be more active in the control of his or her life, in a healthy way, is important"
That man was my hero... - revme, on 08/08/2008, -0/+0I've just sent letters to PBS and my two local PBS stations. Feel free to use this as a springboard for ideas, but PLEASE write your own letter:
I was incredibly saddened when I discovered that Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was going to be removed from the national PBS daily syndicated feed in September. Mister Rogers is one of the best television shows for children -- past, present and future. He teaches not only informational knowledge but EMOTIONAL knowledge -- compassion, understanding and, above all else, love. People of all ages need those skills, and Fred Rogers was the best person I've ever seen at teaching those. He has been one of my biggest heroes for a very long time, and I was lucky enough to grow up watching his show -- and even years later, at 28, I still enjoy watching the show. It was a tragedy when the man died, but at least we can still turn on the television to visit with our favorite kindly neighbor. I encourage you to -- even if the national PBS doesn't change their mind -- still carry Mister Rogers on a daily basis.
Thank you very much for your time.
