Mister Rogers Neighborhood, Fountain Pen Episode

[JordanN]

Today, I discovered a very old Mister Rogers Neighborhood episode, season 1, episode 6 (Jealousy, #1176) on Amazon Prime.

 

In this episode, Mister Rogers shows off a lever filled fountain pen, italic script, and a handwriting class he attended. At the end, a lady stops by and shows off a personal creative handwriting style.

 

The land of make believe story in the middle was pretty slow, so Id recommend skipping past it.

Hi Jordan,

 

Thanks for posting this... one can always find good life lessons in Mister Rodger's neighborhood.

 

 

Hi all,

 

For those of you who do not have Amazon Prime; I was able to find this poor, but adequate substitute. (Btw, FWIW, this was the FIRST color episode):

Thanks Anthony!

Thanks for the video link.

 

I enjoyed the recent "Won't You Be My Neighbor" documentary. Nostalgic in that I grew up watching Mr. Rogers, inspiring and touching in that it appears that he really was like he appeared - a genuinely nice, concerned, patient, empathetic person.

I chuckled a bit at the joke made during President George Bush's funeral today.

I was a little too old for Mr. Rogers. But I did run across an episode in reruns years ago where he was talking to a professional weaver, and that was pretty cool.

Actually saw him one time (from a distance) while I was waiting for some car repairs (the place I was having work done didn't have a waiting area, so I was just sitting on the sidewalk, and IIRC he got off the local bus.

Yes. Fred Rogers taking a PATtransit bus.

I also was a bit too old when his show started, but I caught it later when my daughter was young.

And I wonder if I might have walked by him in Squirrel Hill at one time or another without knowing who or what he was, back when I attended CMU.

I had forgotten that he was a Pittsburgh guy. I was 10 that first year of the show.(1968) I remember watching it at times though my sister was 7 during that season and my brother much younger and would have watched later episodes.
