(Pittsburgh) – In honor of what would have been Mister Rogers’ 80th birthday on March 20, Mr. McFeely has a special request.
"We’re asking everyone everywhere — from Pittsburgh to Paris — to wear their favorite sweater on that day," he asks in his best speedy delivery voice. "It doesn’t have to have a zipper down the front like the one Mister Rogers wore on the program, it just has to be special to you."
I was never a huge Mister Rogers fan, but I watched his show enough to know that some of his friends sorta creeped me out. I swear, the creators of the show must have done some experimenting with hallucinogens in the writers' room. The puppets were just weird. Some of the guests—yikes. Nothing was wrong with Mr. McFeely, really, if you don't think about his name. Who came up with that anyway? Watch his video request here.
