"Won't You Be My Neighbor" was an excellent documentary. I think a lot of you would enjoy it, whether or not you grew up with him, as I did.

Not big on documentaries. I rely on drama to keep my imaginative mind flowing properly for what I want to write.

For real? I'm so jealous. You'll get to see the awesomeness that was Fred with fresh eyes. You're obviously an adult, so you probably won't get it by watching the show, but definitely give the film a watch. I loved it.

Documentaries are full of drama. You don't know what you're missing.

He was the speaker at my brother-in-law's graduation.   It was a decent speech.  

I always want to like him more than I actually do.  Nice, extremely principled person, pianist, creative, humanist...plus there's a cool train.  I love that shit at Wegman's!  But Mr. Rogers walks in the door and takes off his shoes and puts on the damn sweater and I'm annoyed.  I know that says way more about me than it does him, but the annoyance dates back to age 5 or so.   He was a great guy and made wonderful television, just not for me, somehow.

I watched "Mister Rogers: It's You I Like", that first aired in March on PBS. Doubt I'll go to the theater for the documentary.
