No disrespect at all but I always thought that show was really really wierd.

Er, okay. He's one of those guys you don't exactly keep up with over the years.

Dunsby

Never heard of it in the UK, anyway, RIP.

Burr

he was probably buried in that outfit.

Confuzor

*sigh*

We had a few of our own like him in our country as well, (Mr. Dressup & the Friendly Giant) - who've also passed on.
Then that lamb chops lady died from cancer as well... not many role models around.

At least there's still Blue's Clues.

(why am I talking about kids shows that I no longer watch/never watched? ) <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Still, sad to hear him go, just as sad as it was to hear Dave Thomas go; old people on TV are cool.

Uh-Oh

*moment of silence*














Sigh.... it's a shame, is show was pleasant for children..... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

for some reason, i was convince that he was already dead. RIP

I am saddened by his death, but I know if his goal was to positively influence children, he succeeded. I was a Mr. Rogers kid, and never watched crud like Sesame Street.

Good thing there are many years' worth of Mr. Rogers for children still.

The man who singl-handedly put the sweater-tie combo back into the fashion world will be sorely missed.

I always figured he would die from a heart attack during an extremely strenuous shoe tieing rehearsal sesion.

But seriously, I loved that show. Gees, I'm only 16 and already my childhood heros are dieing off.

I'm so mad! I wanted to meet him before this would happen, I loved the show, and I still do. I'm going to dedicate my next game of NS to him. RIP

Burr

he was a good guy, he will be missed. Even thought I never really watched it (I didn't grow up on educational programs, I watched mindless violence and humor) I know that he was really there for the children. R.I.P.

Rest in peace, sir. Your show amused me as a child. But as an adult I watch it and see how sick and twisted the world really is. He helped me open my eyes.

RIP

It's now a sad and depressing day in the neighborhood.

I mean no disrespect but who was this guy? Seems he will be sorely missed; was he a tv presenter?
