Saving "Mister Rogers"
We've all heard about those campaigns to save "Jericho" and "Moonlight," but here's a new one to save an endangered THIRTY-year old show. "Mister Rogers Neighborhood," as you may be aware,. is slowly dribbling away from the PBS airwaves and will be reduced to one airing per week this fall. The sweaters...the Zenmaster Fred, and his shoes, and love, and "won't you be my friend..." All about to become memories. This campaign is being organized by a self-described "concerned parent" from South Carolina, Brian Linder, who writes on his website, “I was a highly-sensitive child [and] It was Mister Rogers who taught me how to begin to deal with my feelings. I think he taught my parents a lot, too. I know I’m still learning from him.” So there you have it, and here's the website.
