I watched Captain Kangaroo, but I felt like I related to Mr. Greenjeans more. Maybe I'm more of a Soupy Sales kind of guy.

BTW - Interesting interview Gale King did with Tom Hanks. He said he was terrified of doing this part because Mr. Rogers was so well known and almost universally loved. Fred Rogers, by all accounts was really playing himself (i.e. he was no put on).

As a kid I didn’t watch Mr. Rogers, he was just TOO nice.  (= boring)

 

I was more into Garfield Goose.  Maybe that was a local Chicago thing since it was on WGN.

 

And Mr. Wizard.  Sheesh, today he would probably be arrested as a pedophile.  Did kids come over to visit Mr. Rogers?  Yep, he’d be in jail too.

PG probably.  No foul language, a minor amount of violence.  No sex or nudity.  Just a story about a guy who had issues with his father.  Based on a true story.  He was a writer assigned to do a piece on Mr. Rogers.

Younger kids will not get it at all.  They would be totally bored I think.  Teens may appreciate it, especially if they are having issues with their parents.

Surprisingly good.  Not for kids. Not what I expected.
