Please bring Mr. Rogers back onto PBS five days a week. The lessons he teaches in his show are just as relevant today as they were back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

Most of the other childrens shows are very hyper. No wonder so many children are labled with ADD.Evidence has shown that many children process language at a slower rater than adults.
Mr Rogers speaks to children at a comfortable pace in the way that all children should be treated and is so lacking still in this culture. Fred Rogers was surely ahead of his time.
Please keep his show running PBS.

I never realized how much that man meant to me, until, while I was at work at the age of 23, I heard on the radio that mister rogers died. My eyes started to tear up... He was a great mentor of my childhood, and every child deserves his candid style of honest compassion and friendship.

As an educator, and soon a new parent, the removal of Mister Rogers Neighborhood from regularly scheduled programming is detrimental to current and future generations. Mister Rogers was an educational innovator and his unique approach to children should not be lost to the PBS archives. His openness and frankness with children allows them to experience life and find answers to their big questions without embarrassment. In a sea of programming aimed at children's so-called short attention spans and buying power rather than their hearts and brains, the quality programming from Mister Rogers is sorely missed. I sincerely hope Mister Rogers Neighborhood will be available from my neighborhood PBS station when my future son or daughter is a preschooler.

The day you removed Mr Rodgers Neighorhood from our sets and from our children and grandchildren, was a Very Sad Day in our neighborhoods. We feel as parents and grandparents that Mr Rogers was a very positive role model in their lives, and a show we daily set down to watch as a family. This show and what we learned from it was our topic of discussion very often at our dinner table ... Please reconsider your decision. Please return him back to our home and our neighborhoods. We miss him very much ..

Please keep Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood on. I always sit down with my grandchildren and watch it. It is the only show I watch with them and it is a very special time. Thank you from all of us for putting it back on.

Please bring Mr. Rogers back!

Please bring this show back! It is one of the few educational shows left for little ones to watch! Our boys would enjoy watching him.

absolutely one of the best , formative and peace loving on TV. from my childhood and my kids. Impacted multi-generations and still relevant today.

Mister Rogers is the best thing out there. He needs to stay put for the benefit of all the upcoming generations. His teachings and his soft, gentle demeanor is necessary for the well being of all ages and different societies. Please Keep Mister Rogers on the air! The world cannot afford to loose him!

Please put misterrogers back on. He is a wonderful person and that is the kind of shows our kids need to watch. I love him myself and enjoy watching each day. Thank you

I have a mentally retarded grandson that just loves misterrogersand he cannot understand why he is not on the tv. Please put him back on again, Thanks Eliza Hall

im 17 and came home everyday and watched Mister Rogers its possibly the best show ever and should be put back up on the regular weekly line up. He is a great person and taught me alot and that more kids should be watching his show they can still learn the values i learned from that show. it makes me sad to think that they would take such a great show with great lessons off the regular schedual

if it wernt for mister rogers i would have grown up to be a horible human being. if not for his show i might have grown up to be a rapist of small children rather than thinking about it while masturbating like a normal funcioning adult member of society

If the piano player is still alive, he should be the new host! And childeren should know how good that guy is...I can hear him 30years later!

I am 52 years and a big Mr. Rogers Fan!
His photo is hanging on the wall at home. Really, for years. I want him to still be on tv so my grandkids will be able to enjoy learning from him about life, art, communication, etc. The list goes on and on.
He is awesome, and we NEED his view and culture for the children of America!

Mr.rogers is the best i have loved him since i could walk and talk he is my idol he faught to keep his show on the air and your going do this to him thats like disrespect he made many of shows so that when he died he would be rememberd and so the younger generation would know what to do when thair are problems in thair life im only 14 and i have watched him all my life an i still do this is depresing to me he worked so hard to make people happy and to keep his show on air your makeing a big mistake all my friends and family love him pleas reconsider your choise

I loved the Program MISTER ROGERS' NEIGHBORHOOD. I've learned so much from watching him. I even tried to get a petition signed to bring him back. So, I just hope this works.

I have enjoyed seeing Mr. Rogers ever since I was little. After I married a girl from India, I showed it to my children for over a year. It was their favorite show. I limit my children's television viewing to mostly Mr. Rogers. I sent an e-mail to channel 13 stating that I could not find Mr. Rogers. They stated that it was on cable TV. Their original announcement was that it would be broadcast once a week. That is fine with me, since I limit my children's viewing. However, they did not say that it would be moved to cable TV. If they did, then I would not have deleted old episodes of the show. If people have to pay to see this wholesome show, then should channel 13 expect to receive donation for their regular non-cable station? I have worked as a math teacher in middle school and high school. Currently, I teach at Lehman College.

I have been a huge fan of Mister Rogers since I was a little girl too. I was surprised that he is no longer being seen in my area. Kids these days need Fred in their lives!

I have been a fan of Fred Rogers since I was a young girl. I am now 51 and all of my children were raised with Mr. Rogers neighborhood, I am also involved in ealry childhood education and sincerely feel that Mr. Rogers makes points through his sincerity and simple, pure unadulterated kindness and gentle manner that is for all time. This show is enduring and timeless and should continue on as such.

I am 60yrs old and look fordward to seeing Mr Rodgers every day. Infact when I do side jobs, my clients actually seem surprised that I ask them to turn on pbs. For a half hour each day I get to go on a field trip. Some times to a manufactory, a food processor, to the recycle center, I can go on and on. Its a shame that such an influencial man, is past by, for ratings or politics I dont know?

Yours Truly,

So many shows are on television that are about the wrong ideas. I am recently married and will one day in this decade have children, and it would reward not only myself but my future child to continue having Mister Rogers on television. I believe that Mister Rogers is the foundation by which childhood is born and created...keep that birth alive!

Mr. Rogers was an incredible influence, teaching goodness, without preaching, giving lessons effortlessly, making it fun. Don't let this show go by the wayside. Although the man is gone, the stories, the imagination, the kind thoughts of this man can be given to generations to come.

Please keep this institution and classic children's show on not only for new generations of kids to watch and learn from but for those of us who all grew up on it and yet still love it despite how old we are now.

PBS and Miste Rogers are American institutions!! How can we turn our backs on the families who don't have the options of cable tv to help them educate their kids?

Is Sesame Street next? Are we gonna allow the US govt to kick Big Bird to the curb? Not me!!

I will rally every troop I have to stand up and be counted for public television.

I can remember being invited backstage at the show. The patsor at my grandparent's church in Allentown, PA was the voice of the Platypus family and several other characters, adn made arrangements for me to meet Mr. Rodgers when I was 4 and out visiting them. The man was the same in person as what you see on his timeless show -- a true gentleman, caring and forthright. I received a letter from Mr. Rodgers congratulating me when I reached Eagle Scout in 1999. Though I received many letters, his was one of three I insisted be read during my Court of Honor. I miss him -- and I don't want future generations to miss the opportunity to get to know what a true neighbor is by watching his program. He was an ordained minister -- this program was his ministry. Let's not let it die.

i really like mr. rogers show they teach the children alot and i loved watching them myself soo keep him on t.v

I love Mr. Rogers so darn much!!!
