Mr. Rogers Talking Keychain

Fred Rogers may be gone from PBS' airwaves but that doesn't mean you can't hear his soothing voice anytime you want to.

For only $10, 80stees.com will sell you a Mr. Rogers Talking Keychain. Press a button and hear Fred ask you to (please) be his neighbor, tell you that it is, in fact, a beautiful day in the neighborhood (and a neighborly day for a beauty), and also that he likes you just the way you are. There are a total of six sounds and you can hear them all on the site. If you want to really have some fun, you can press all six buttons at once and pretend you're having an acid flashback.

They also have a selection of Rogers-themed t-shirts, but they don't talk. (Unless you really are having an acid flashback.) I haven't actually seen one of these in person so I don't know about the quality but at least the price isn't too steep.

PBS Dropping Mister Rogers??!!

The bible tells us there are a number of clear and distinct signs the apocalypse is coming. Plague, pestilence, famine and the cancelation of Mister Rogers Neighborhood.

How could this happen? PBS has announced its plans to pull the venerable 40 year old show from their weekday schedule. While not a full on cancelation, MRN (that’s what we “Neighborheads” in the know call it) will be relegated to a single episode on the weekends.But there’s something you can do to save it.

It’s is hard, no, impossible to imagine the landscape of children’s educational television without looking at Mister Roger’s Neighborhood as the forbearer of all that has come since. In its time it was revolutionary, though revolutionary might seem an odd term for a snail’s pace TV program featuring the world’s most soft-spoken, cardigan loving gentleman. What Mister Rogers cared about most was healthy child development and giving kids the tools to look with hope and confidence upon a world that often inspires neither. That’s still a foreign concept to some.

But don’t strap on that black armband for just yet Mister Roger’s devotee Brian Linder has stared SaveMisterRogers.com an effort to reverse PBS’s decision. Go there now to find out how you can help keep MRN on. Need a little more motivation? Here’s Mister Rogers to tell you how proud he is of you.

I've made no secret of the fact that I loved "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" when I was growing up. Even so, nothing is sacred, and funny is funny.

Case in point: this clip from Jimmy Kimmel's late night show. I guess he has a regular segment called "Unnecessary Censorship" where he bleeps words that don't need to be bleeped. So check this out, neighbor.
