hmm... I thought my parents were a bit obsessive when it came to stuff like that.

If you know anything about Rogers, you'd realize that he was truly a kind and rather inspired person. Despite being a Christian minister, he was actually very progressive in his stances on a lot of issues and was basically a defender of childhood. I can respect that a lot.

Although I never liked the show much. It seemed to be a ripoff of CBC's Mr. Dressup, which RAWKED!
