Fred Rogers 1986 Interview

I thought that today I'd simply include an old video I watched on YouTube a few months ago. It's an interview with Mr. Rogers on the old talk show Our Magazine from 1986, and it touches on child rearing, Mr. Rogers' life and career, production of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, and other subjects. It's always greatly enlightening to see him talk about his own show, but the one thing that has stuck in my mind since I first watched it was that Mr. Rogers didn't call the show Mr. Rogers; he called it the Neighborhood. Fitting for someone who wouldn't want to be repeating their own name every five minutes; for him, the show never was about himself, but about the neighborhood and the people--particularly the children--in it.
