That was a sad read, and it made me realize how sad my own relationship with Mr. Rogers was (is). TV was just escapism. I liked to watch He Man because I liked the fantasy of a world with monsters and heroes and panther riding. I liked to watch Mr. Rogers because I liked the fantasy of a world where people were kind and caring and thoughtful. I never mistook it for reality or thought it was meant to reach me in a deep way.
