Such a wonderful show. A big influence on me as a child. I wonder why there are no shows prior to 1979 represented?

I remember his speech before Congress, and the things he said actually made a difference to getting money for public television.

Hopefully not a sign of what has and hasn't survived.

Amazon Createspace (read: MOD) had a bunch of sets available a while back, each covering a specific week. Many were from the original run (1968-1976).

All episodes still exist, however the second run from '79 to '01 is more popular since that's what has been broadcast the most in the last 20 or so years. Much like Dragnet, the original run went into the vaults for the most part when the new one had enough episodes to be shown in rotation.

They all survive (although most of the pre-1974 color shows only exist in slightly reedited versions done for reruns in 1976).

Interesting. I watched this show and Sesame Street as a child before I went off to Kindergarten and onwards. Around 1978 to 1983 it was pretty non-stop. I remember quite a few fun episodes.

This one's on my August 19 list. It will keep my Mill Creek Howdy Doody set company and, if the Lord allows, will be accompanied by my 100th Serial!

According to the South American river site ...

There's quite a few DVDs of Misterogers ...

The ones currently offered on Amazon appear to be complete episodes on DVD-R (MOD) direct from the Fred Rogers Company ...(I'm sure the PBS set will be pressed discs)
The new one is $16.99 for 30 episodes which is still a pretty good deal ...

The ones I remember from my childhood are from the original run (1968-1976), but it's good to see this getting a release.

One of the first reviews for "Won't You Be My Neighbor?", a documentary getting wide release in early summer.

Amazon Prime has free episodes to stream as far back as 1967. It's amazing to see how the show evolved over the years. So many great memories of some of the places he visited and his "neighbors". However, I never liked the operas. Ever.

my happy nostalgia tears just now are flowing down the street and knocking over everybody's garbages cans setting off car alarms.

If I can't get more Dragnet, I'd accept the complete Mathnet from Square One TV set.

And now a biopic starring Tom Hanks as Fred Rogers!

 

[Charles Ellis]

But can Amazon do a 'speedy delivery' like Mr. McFeeley?

That has me a little worried. Fred Rogers apparently had no "dark side" to speak of, and people without dark sides tend to make pretty boring subjects for biopics. I'm worried they'll try to gin something up in order to create drama.
