100% agree. While I respect the man and his mission, his show was the show I had to suffer through while waiting for Zoom. Plus, his show lacked the trippy, psychedelic charm of HR Pufnstuf and The Banana Splits.Trident 88 said:
Am I the only kid who thought Mr. Rogers was boring and weird?
And now, everyone adores him in hindsight. He's the Jimmy Carter of children's television.
That being said, I'd probably go see this movie even if it was actually about Mr. Rogers.
don't assume that just because you thought he was boring that everyone else did or does.Trident 88 said:

Why would anyone care about watching this?

Wow, I looked up the reference. I knew Tim Madigan from when we lived at the same apartments. He had some very interesting stories from covering the Saragosa tornado.

My buddy Noah wrote this screenplay with his writing partner Micah. Super excited for them.

Yeah I still remember how they were working on it when I was still in LA. They even got to go chat with Mr. Roger's wife at some point if I recall.
They've since been writing on Transparent and One Mississippi (Noah plays Tig's brother as well) but obviously working with Tom Hanks is gonna be the biggest thing they've done so far.

You didn't like The Terminal, Captain Phillips or Toy Story3?Dr.Rumack said:
Last watchable movie he did was Ladykillers.

So, are the rumors about Mr. Roger's coke habit true and will they show that? Or, was that just urban legend?

If you haven't seen the Mr. Rogers documentary do so ASAP.
McFeely was Fred Rogers' grandfather's last name. The character was named for him.Quote:
Oh the good times of Mr. McFeely. Who could ever question the show?
