Mr. Rogers bought the farm :(

:( It's NOT a beautiful day in the neighborhood today. Fred Rogers, aka Mr.
Rogers of Mr. Rogers neighborhood, passed away from tummy cancer at the age of
72.
I have to admit, his show always creeped me out as a kid...those puppets just
frightened me. But Mr. Rogers himself seemed like a cool dude, so here is a RIP
for him.

I always loved watching when Mr. Rogers brought out the models from the Land f
Make Believe. The puppets are creepy..especially Lady Elaine. But when Creepy
Kids shows comes to mind - TeleTubbies and Zoobily Zoo comes to my mind.

and folks in the philly metro area that remember that train wreck involving an
owl, hippo, frog, doug and the chick with gogo boots. Not as regional as
captain noah (now that I think about it, his send your pictures song kinda
sounds like a pedophile parade theme). I once met Mister Rogers at the U of
Pitt when I went to grad school at WVU. He was a nice guy but you just had to
know deep down somewhere that had to be a tiny kink streak....like this guy can
not be this pure. I heard stories of him snapping on the set (his show was
filmed at Pitt for along time) and ranting like a lunatic. I guess another star
from my childhood has dimmed (see tagline). Who is next...Chachi of joanie and
chachi fame?*sigh*

I remember seeing that one, and rapidly grabbing the pliers to change
the channel...

I never met him, or really watched his show. I read a lot more than I
watched TV at a young age.

This was on the west coast too, but I recall it being called The New Zoo Revue.
My best friend growing up actually had a stuffed Freddie the Frog. But that
show was on at dark 0-30 in the morning
HOWEVER, my favortite neighbor, Mr. Rogers, will be missed.

What's scarey, is that he was actually a trained killer. I believe he was a
Navy SEAL!!

sweaters to hide the tattoos on his arm... rumor has it there was a rose on
his arm for each man he killed. Now how much of that is true, I don't know,
but he /was/ a sniper and the tattoos are there... he kind of thought it his
way of giving back to society.
But I'll still kick anyone's ass at my high school who makes light of his
death. Sniffle.

"The John Denver "sniper" story is a typical example of the "he's not what he
seems to be" legend type, tales of contradictory excess generally applied to
celebrities who entertain children or otherwise have a cloying public image that
show them to be the opposites of their public images. (Other examples include
radio host Uncle Don and singer Mariah Carey.) Thus John Denver, known to the
world as a gentle, nature-loving pop singer, is transformed into his antithesis:
a professional killer. (As is Fred Rogers of television's Mister Rogers'
Neighborhood. He too is rumored to have been a sniper, with even his penchant
for long-sleeved cardigans ascribed to his hiding tattoos from the eyes of
curious little tykes. Like Denver, Rogers never served in any branch of the
military. He is an ordained minister in the United Presbyterian Church.)"

New Zoo Review:
Doug: Guitar playin' mustache hippie type guy
Emmy Jo- His helper who always wore go go boots (One of my first crushes)
Freddie the Frog- juvinile trouble makin' frog.
Henrietta Hippo- big time gossip and eaves-dropper, never could mind his
business.
Charley the Owl-crabby old fart that liked to be alone in his tree and conduct
experiments (possible mad scientist with aspirations of world domination.)
Yeah, New Zoo review was on waaaaaay early in the morning.

Ah, my legecy. Lucky (or unlucky) for me that both " funny" and "morbidly
