A Tribute to Mister Rogers: A Long, Good Run
September 4, 2001 -- Last Friday, public broadcasting stations across the country aired the last original episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. After 33 years, the series finished neither with a bang nor with a syrupy-sweet ending, but rather with Fred Rogers's trademark closing—"see you next time"—promising to return to television next week. And he will, of course—with about 1,000 episodes from the past three decades already canned, Rogers's neighborhood will be a staple for yet another generation of developing minds. Last Friday's episodes are no exception; producers plan on working them into the mix alongside his other vintage episodes.
