Starting Monday at 3 p.m. through June 2, Amazon's gamer-oriented streamer Twitch will start running in a marathon every one of the 886 episodes in production order of the landmark PBS children's series "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," including episodes that were never repeated and episodes that have not been seen in decades--the marathon will begin with Fred Rogers' famous 1969 testimony to a Congressional committee on why public television should be supported by taxpayers and will include messages inviting viewers to support their local PBS station:

(Of course, I realize that binge-watching wasn't around in 1968.) -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
