flashback friday ~ fred rogers

this is a flashback friday favorite post remembering fred rogers & the pbs show mister rogers' neighborhood on this the 51st anniversary of the classic pbs kid's show ~

this signed photo is actually one of my favorite items, as much as i poked fun at mr rogers in my youth (i even used quotes from him in my demented highschool mixtapes..) honestly i think he was one of the finer people on the planet, & am sad that he is gone now. i can hardly believe it's been over 15 years now since he passed ~

this little neighborhood snowglobe sits on my wall unit & we have several of these magnetic postcards up on the fridge ~

i also have a bunch of his books from over the years as well ~

i even received the neighborhood puppets one birthday years ago ~

king friday & queen sarah ~

about queen sarah saturday ~

about king friday the 13th ~

& lady elaine fairchild ~

x the owl & henrietta pussycat (strange, it looks like they used the same eye just turned upside-down on x the owl?) ~

about x & henrietta ~

& daniel striped tiger, who now has his own show on pbs ~

somehow his tag was misprinted as x the owl again? ~

i also found this signed poster ~

this vintage vinyl lp from 1973 features songs from the mister rogers show ~

although they're sung by jerry whitman ~

a disneyland record ~

dvd ~

if you haven't yet seen the new mr rogers special documentary, i highly recommend it, & there's the new movie out now too ~

you can watch episodes of mister rogers' neighborhood vintage & newer at the pbs website or on amazon, i still hope one day i'll be able to purchase a full collection of all of his shows.. this youtube is one of my very favorites..

& there's more mr rogers goodness:
