Line 13: It got an animated [[Spin-Off]] called ''[[Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood (TV)\|Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood]]'' in September 2012, based on the character Daniel Tiger. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} * [[Aerith and Bob]]: King Friday and Queen Sarah. Line 57: * [[Musical Episode]]: The series included thirteen original episode-length [[Opera\|operas]] composed [[Do-It-Yourself Theme Tune\|by Mr. Rogers]], usually featuring professional opera singers John Reardon and François Clemmons. While of course they're all completely accessible to young viewers, Mr. Rogers [[Viewers Are Geniuses\|clearly didn't believe in underestimating his audience.]] * [[Never Say "Die"]]: ''Subverted'' over a decade before ''[[Sesame Street]]'' had to. He dealt with the death of his pet goldfish in 1970. ** Even earlier than that is his [https://web.archive.org/web/20131106163407/http://exhibit.fredrogerscenter.org/advocacy-for-children/videos/view/975/ special that dealt with the death of Robert Kennedy, I don't think you'll ever again hear a PBS or any kids show repeatedly say the word assassination so many times]. * [[No Fourth Wall]]: Besides the constant interaction with the viewer, the fact that Fred's "TV house" was a mere set in a studio was made obvious. For example, one episode had Fred walk out of the living room and into the bare studio to introduce viewers to Johnny Costa. * [[Non-Interactivity]]: A little lighter than usual. He never really required the audience to play along, but he did treat the camera as the viewer. Line 121: * [[Captain Ersatz]] / [[Affectionate Parody]]: Several instances: First, on an episode of [[Muppet Babies]]; in one daydream, Fozzie walked into a not-quite replica of Mr. Rogers' house, whilst singing "It's a beautiful day in my neighborhood!" in a way that didn't bear any resemblance to the actual theme song (probably to avoid a lawsuit). In the second season of the [[Bill and Ted]] [[Animated Adaptation\|cartoon]], those two righteous dudes were shocked and totally bummed out to learn that their favourite childhood show, [[Writing Around Trademarks\|Mr Radish's Condo]], is about to be cancelled because [[Good Is Old-Fashioned\|kids today don't want his brand of sweetness]]. Cue Wyld Stallyns trying to make him stay... [[Stop Helping Me!\|and making things a lot worse for him]]. Eventually, Mr Radish decides to [[We're Still Relevant, Dammit!\|change his image completely]], ending up as a [[Totally Radical]] rocker, which Bill and Ted initially consider to be most excellent... until they realise [[My God, What Have I Done?\|that maybe this was perhaps a most]] [[Egregious]] [[Captain Obvious\|error in judgement]]. Thankfully, [[Deus Ex Machina\|Rufus shows up]] with Ted's bratty brother, who points out to Mr. Radish that you should [[Be Yourself]], [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped\|for your own sake if nothing else]]. Mr Radish agrees, and changes back into his [[Costume Inertia\|red sweater]]. The most recent one of these was in a [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]] in an episode of ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]''. How recent? Oh, about [[Funny Aneurysm Moment\|about three months before Rogers died]]. Whoops! [[Eddie Murphy]] was featured in a series of [[Saturday Night Live]] skits, "Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood," in which he copied Mr. Rogers' speaking style but discussed antisocial behavior in a gritty urban setting. ("You know any other words that start with X, boys and girls? How about... Ex-con?") Fortunately, Mr. Rogers recognized Murphy's [[Affectionate Parody\|affection]] and took them in good fun. ** [[Family Guy]]: At least two examples: Line 146: {{reflist}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Edutainment Show]] [[Category:American Series]] [[Category:TV Series]] [[Category:~~{{PAGENAME}}~~Live-Action TV of the 1960s]] [[Category:Live-Action TV of the 1970s]] [[Category:Live-Action TV of the 1980s]] [[Category:Live-Action TV of the 1990s]] [[Category:Live-Action TV of the 2000s]] [[Category:Puppet Shows]] [[Category:Puppet Shows of the 1960s]] [[Category:Puppet Shows of the 1970s]] [[Category:Puppet Shows of the 1980s]] [[Category:Puppet Shows of the 1990s]] [[Category:Puppet Shows of the 2000s]]
