A long-running children's TV show on PBS. Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was deliberately simple and straightforward, marked by Rogers' purposeful actions and soothing voice. Every show he would enter his home, take off his jacket and shoes, and put on a sweater and comfortable footwear while offering a welcome for his viewers.
The slow-paced show offered an alternate universe to most of today's quick-edit cartoon children's programming. On the eve of his final show, Rogers told CNN's Jeff Greenfield he looked at the program as more than entertainment; it was a chance to reach young people and give them a foundation for a good life.
Through the years, Rogers featured artists ranging from cellist Yo-Yo Ma to bodybuilder-actor Lou Ferrigno. He dealt with the death of pets and divorce, while teaching children to love themselves and others. During the Persian Gulf War, he made a series of public service announcements telling parents how to talk to their children about war.
His recurring characters included Mr. McFeely and Lady Elaine Fairchilde, as well as puppets King Friday the Thirteenth, Daniel Striped Tiger and Curious X the Owl.

When the host of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood died, the godwhacks from Westboro Baptist Church protested at his funeral, because Mr. Rogers never said bad things about homosexuals.

Get the Mr. Rogers' Neighborhoodmug. One who is paralyzed and ineffectual, usually with fear or anxiety, at a time of crisis or danger. Refers to the tendency of a deer to freeze and stare at an oncoming car, resulting in death and disaster.
The President just sat there reading My Pet Goat,like Bambi caught in the headlights, and the terrorists tripled the amount of time they had to attack America.

Get the Wascomug. Not to be confused with the Jimi Hendrix song, cross town traffic, is a deed of love making/ coprophelia/ scat fetish/ poop love in which to lovers/fuckers both drop trough and poop into each others buttholes simultaneously. This act, in its purest form, is physically impossible, however, in theory it can one of the most beautiful acts of love making that ever existed.
HEY! BRO! me and that girl last night was KARAZEE we fucking partook in cross town traffic all night all over the frat house.
SISTA, SISTA, SISTA, I nabbed me some hawt white boy dick last night and we scatted, tossed each others salads and even did this crazy ass white boy thing called cross town traffic. To say the least I was thorougly satisfied.
