I ran across this Instagram post of the lovely commemorative stamp of Mister Rogers released in 2018. Fred Rogers was host to Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood television show that ran for 31 years and had 895 episodes.
The Neighborhood Archive is a wonderful online treasure trove of artifacts about the show which ran for 31 seasons! Run by Tim Lybarger, who has done a great job at providing a show entry page for all 895 episodes. You can click on the songs from each show and find the lyrics. There are links for episodes, characters, songs and memorabilia from the show.
Tim was aided with the archive by the Fred Rogers Company which provided pictures from the show. The company produces children’s shows to this day.
