Mister Rogers' Neighborhood

25 episodes

Full episodes and short clips from Fred Rogers' PBS series, pulled from the official archive. The catalog leans on what the show did best: the how-people-make-it factory films (crayons, ice cream, postage stamps), visits with real people such as Eric Carle painting the tissue paper he cuts his pictures from, Sylvia Earle snorkeling, Ella Jenkins teaching a clapping rhyme, and Koko the gorilla. Then there are the Neighborhood of Make-Believe scenes where a feeling gets named instead of argued away. Lengths run from a two-minute song to a 47-minute week-long compilation, so there is something here for a full period or the last five minutes.
