My cousins told me when I was little that Mr. Rogers buried children alive under his porch. I believed them, and was scared of him, so I never watched his show.
That's a sad story.

His show was pretty boring, but it was so sweet and from everything I've heard, he really was a kind and generous man. Figures he'd die of something horrible like cancer.
He did an episode where he showed kids how pizza was made, and it was filmed in a pizza parlor not too far from where I live. I used to go there a lot as a kid because there was a Play Plaza next door (kind of like Chuck E. Cheese) and that was where all the cool kids hung out in elementary school.

I always wanted a stoplight in my living room because of Mr. Rogers.
