Fred Rogers is a national treasure. When his new biopic ‘A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood’ (trailer below) starring Tom Hanks is released Mister Rogers will likely become an international treasure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course this channel<\/a> has long celebrated Mr Rogers as an unintentional ASMR <\/a>treasure. But for people outside the U.S. who, like me, did not grow up with the mild-mannered, softly-spoken Pennsylvania native on our television screens, we missed an incredible man who tried to raise an entire generation of children to be kind, caring and respectful. He believed that television could be used in a different way than it had been previously utilized. He wanted to show that television could be used to educate and bring people closer together with their families and of course their neighbors. He was sometimes ridiculed for this belief but now in 2019 his legacy lives on in other PBS shows like Sesame Street and Fred Rogers is now rightly remembered as one of the greatest American entertainers of all time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please enjoy this Mr Rogers unintentional ASMR interview where he talks about his early life, breaking into television, starting Mr Rogers’ Neighborhood, his thoughts on television, retirement, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Part 1 <\/strong>of the Fred Rogers unintentional ASMR interview:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
