Today would have been Fred Rogers 93rd birthday. His contributions for kids and parents were remarkable. I remember him with love and gratitude.

Remember him more fondly as a parent than as a child - I was probably a bit older than the target audience when the show moved to PBS in 1970. But for all the accolades Mr. Rogers deserves I can't think of him without remembering this "dark day in Mr. Roger's Neighborhood."  |

No. John Candy is Julia Child. Martin Short is Mr. Rogers.
But the Roses are represented as Eugene Levy is Howard Cosell.
This was part of an SCTV episode that featured the "Battle of the PBS Stars" for the full episode.
And SCTV was always so cleverly funny, particularly when it was a 30 minute show before NBC got a hand in it and expanded it to 90 minutes, was so consistently funny with an amazing cast those 2 years
John Candy
Eugene Levy
Catherine O'Hara
Harold Ramis (1 season)
Joe Flaherty
Andrea Martin
Dave Thomas (not the hamburger guy)
Rick Moranis (joined the second season I think and replaced Ramis)
Martin Short joined, I believe the first season it was on NBC and then went to SNL after a year or 2 with SCTV.
