I feel robbed. Give me my childhood back so I can redo it.

Fred Rogers really was ahead of his time with his views on television and the impact it could have on children. If you really want to make a deep dive, I recommend watching the documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbor" about the life of Rogers and how his show came to be.

There's also a semi biographical film called "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" where Tom Hanks plays Mr. Rogers. He's not really the main focus of the film but it's a good companion piece to the documentary.
