I don't remember loving him when I was young, but I did come to love his gentle ways with children later, once I hit adulthood. I can see how teenagers would find him odd, but I swear, seeing that testimony before Congress, I have nothing but the highest respect for the man and his slow, soft ways.

Rogers came on the scene when I was already a teenager and we teenagers had not patience for his slow speech and mannerisms. We called him "Mr. Lobodomy!" Now, after raising and working with children for over 25 years, I am so grateful that he was able to use his "style" to keep that PBS money flowing! MR.

Totally. I especially liked him talking about how he deals with "the inner drama of childhood," like the first haircut, jealousy over new siblings, etc. And then the mad song? Slay me. I know, Diana.

But man, that clip made me cry SO MUCH. I'm done for. I don't know what got to me most: the transformation of the Senator, or the fact that this was filmed in a time where people didn't know who Mr. Rodgers was. "You're the host of the show?" Sniff. Sniff. Sniff... Though I have always admired Mr. Rodgers and what he did, I was never, as a child, a huge fan of his show. But man, that clip made me cry SO MUCH.
