I'm from Germany and when I moved to the US, I never really
got used to the constant commercials, and every show needing
a climax just before the commercial break to keep viewers
from losing interest and switching to another channel.

When our daughter was old enough to get interested in
watching TV, we were so glad to find OPB and Mr. Rogers.

There was no hyperactivity or flashing pictures, just an
honest person telling you about life and how to deal with
it.
He was someone you could always rely on, in a way.

I substituted in my daughter's school today and even the
5th graders, who are quite rambunctious, talked about how
sad they were to hear about Mr. Roger's death, even though
they'd normally make fun of it as a "baby" show.
