Are you tired of the same old kids’ shows like “Paw Patrol” and “Bubble Guppies”? Does the “Daniel Tiger” theme song make you want to scream? We get it, and it seems PBS Kids and Amazon do too. They are offering parents an incredible opportunity: an 18-day marathon of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” — all for free!
Marathon Details
Starting May 15th at 12 PM PST, Amazon’s Twitch platform will host a “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” marathon, streaming all 886 episodes of this cherished children’s series over the course of 18 days. Even more exciting, the marathon will include several episodes that have only aired once and aren’t accessible anywhere else online. It will kick off with Fred Rogers’ iconic testimony to a U.S. Senate committee in 1969, highlighting the significance of PBS.
While the episodes will be available at no cost, Twitch will also run a fundraising initiative encouraging viewers to support their local PBS stations, which is a cause many parents can get behind.
Words from the Fred Rogers Company
Julia Thompson, the new CEO of the Fred Rogers Company, stated, “Fred Rogers laid the groundwork for children’s television that remains effective today, with messages of acceptance and inclusion that are just as relevant now as they were when ‘Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood’ first aired. We are thrilled to partner with Twitch to make these episodes accessible to fans and introduce them to a new audience.”
A Heartwarming Experience
For those of us who grew up listening to Fred Rogers’ soothing voice as he guided us through childhood challenges, the thought of our children experiencing his unique magic is truly heartwarming. I have shared a few episodes from a friend’s collection with my kids, and they were just as captivated by Rogers as I was at their age. His lessons are universal, and his calm demeanor is something we can all benefit from.
So take a break from the usual kids’ programming and indulge in a delightful dose of nostalgia. You can catch the marathon episodes starting tomorrow and continuing until June 3rd.
