Monday Night Open Thread

Posted by on

I never watched Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. I had nothing against it, but by the time I was old enough to be allowed to change the channel on the TV, I was beyond that show’s target audience. If I was changing the channel from 3 to 11 — those were two of the only three Savannah-area channels we got — I’d have to go past 9, which was the NET station in Pembroke (there’s the third one). Sometimes, it would be carrying Mister Rogers. I would hurry past it.

I have seen some episodes over the years, and I really don’t remember why. I don’t think it was related to my children watching the show. I just don’t know why I watched any of the episodes. Probably curiosity. I discovered it was actually a good thing for children.

Anyway, I got on this because Harvey posted a link to a fact sheet on Mister Rogers. I thought you might find it interesting.

You know what else is interesting? You don’t? Aw, heck. I was hoping you did. It’s time for Monday Night Open Thread. That’s your turn post something fun, interesting, or whatever. Comment on something. Share a link. It’s up to you.

Who wants to start?

  6. In the later part of the 80s five engineers employed by a major coal company died in an unbelievable accident. I knew two of them, Their funerals were back-to-back at a Catholic church. The priest apologized for not not making coffee since he hadn’t realized there would be so much overlap of the attendees. One of the families that I knew had toddlers. Mr. Rogers reached out to comfort them. Class act all the way.
