Rogers' environment (sometimes shortened to Misterogers or just Mister Rogers ) is an American half-hourly children's television series created and hosted by Fred Rogers. The series originated in 1963 as a Misterogers on CBC Television, and was subsequently re-branded in 1966 as Misterogers 'Neighborhood and then Mister Rogers' Neighborhood on the Eastern Regional Education Network (EEN, the pioneer of American Public Television today). The US national debut of the show took place on 19 February 1968. It aired on NET and its successor, PBS, until August 31, 2001.

History
The series has a genesis in 1953, when Rogers and Josie Carey joined the newly formed WQED public television station. On April 5, 1954, WQED debuted at The Children's Corner, a program featuring Rogers as the mastermind and composer with Carey as the host and lyricist, in an unspoken broadcast television daytime program. It is this program where many dolls, characters and music used in the series are then developed, such as King Friday XIII, Daniel Tiger, and X the Owl. This was also the time when Rogers started wearing his famous sneakers, because he found them calmer than his shoe as he moved behind the set. The event won the Sylvania Award for the best children's event, and was broadcast briefly on the NBC Television Network.
Rogers moved to Toronto, Ontario, in 1961 to work on a new series based on The Children's Corner Misterogers , a 15-minute program on CBC Television. Misterogers airs on the CBC for about 4 years and a number of pieces that he will bring back to the US, such as trolleys and castles, were created for Canada programs by CBC designers and collaborated with producer Bruce Attridge. Most importantly, Rogers appears on camera in new shows rather than just appearing through dolls or characters. Fred Rainsberry, head of the Kids Programming at CBC, persuaded Rogers to appear in front of the camera in a new show (called Rogers) after seeing him interact with the kids. Ernie Coombs, one of the Americans Rogers brought with him to help develop the CBC show, will remain with CBC once Rogers returns to the United States. Coombs first appeared as Mr. Dressup in the CBC Butternut Square program, created and produced by Attridge. Coombs then helped develop what became
In 1966, Rogers secured rights to his program from CBC and transferred the show to WQED in Pittsburgh, where he worked at The Children's Corner. He renamed the Misterogers' Neighborhood event, which was originally aired regionally in the US Northeast through EEN, including educational stations in Boston, Washington, D.C., and New York City. 100 episodes of the half-hour show included the "Neighborhood of Make-Believe" segment of the CBC episode with additional reality-based start-up and closing materials produced in Pittsburgh. The series was canceled in 1967 due to lack of funds, but the outpouring of public response was asked to seek new funding.
In 1967, The Sears Roebuck Foundation provided funding for the program, allowing it to be seen nationally on National Educational Television; The recording began on September 21, 1967 for the first national season. The first national broadcast of Misterogers' Neighborhood appeared in most NET stations on February 19, 1968. In 1970, when PBS replaced NET, it also inherited the program. Around the same time the show had a slight title change, to a more familiar Mister Rogers' Neighborhood .
The show aired from 19 February 1968 to 20 February 1976, and again from August 20, 1979 until August 31, 2001. The final episode was recorded on December 1, 2000. The studio in Pittsburgh where the series was recorded later. renamed "The Fred Rogers Studio".

Format
During each half-hour segment, Rogers speaks directly to viewers on issues, invites viewers to see factory tours, demonstrates experiments, crafts, and music, and interacts with his friends. Rogers also makes it a point to just behave naturally in front of the camera rather than act as a character, stating that "One of the greatest gifts you can give to anyone is the gift of your honest self.I also believe that children can recognize one phone a mile away. "The half-hour episode was punctuated by a chronic-event segment in the Make-Believe Environment. Another segment of the show consisted of Rogers going to different places around the neighborhood, where he interviewed people to talk about their work and other contributions that focused on episode themes, such as Brockett's Bakery, Bob Trow's Workshop, and Negri's Music Shop. In one episode, Rogers took a behind-the-scenes show on The Incredible Hulk set, which aired on CBS from 1978 to 1982.
At the beginning of each episode, the event logos appear as the camera slowly hovers over the Mister Rogers' Neighborhood model, while "Neighborhood Trolley" crosses several paths from left to right as the text reads "Mister Rogers Talks About..", when the camera goes from the neighborhood into the Rogers television house. From 1979 to 1981, alternative versions of the opening sequences were used. Typically, cameras go from the neighborhood out on Rogers' television home terrace, where viewers see Fred Rogers come to visit before he enters the house. This is the same model electric trolley that will transport viewers to the Believe Environment. After the camera went from the neighborhood into Rogers television house, Fred Rogers was seen coming home in his jacket, singing "Will not You Be My Neighbor?". She walks into the closet door by taking off her jacket, and hangs it up, and grabs a zippered cardigan sweater for wear. After that, he took off his shoe, and took out a pair of blue shoes to wear. One of the Rogers sweaters now depends on the Smithsonian Institution, an evidence of the cultural influence of his simple daily ritual.
At the end of each episode, Rogers sings "It's Such a Good Feeling" (a different song, "Tomorrow" used from 1968-72) when he takes off a pair of blue shoes when he says "you live" in with a higher voice, and takes shoes to return it, and then, he snapped his finger twice. After that, Rogers walked into the closet door by taking off his cardigan zipper sweater, and hung it up, and grabbed his jacket to return it. Before closing, Rogers prepares to get out the door by reminding viewers: "You always make a special day every day.You know how: Only with yourself There's only one person in the whole world who's like you, and that's you. people can like you just/just like you.I'll be back later. Goodbye! ". During the closing credits, which are complete with event logos and episode numbers, the camera will perform an inverted version of the keypad sequence button shots, while the "Neighborhood Cart" crosses multiple paths from right to left.
Beginning in 1979, the episodes were grouped into week-long series, with each series focusing on a particular topic. The Rogers monologue throughout the week explored various aspects of the topic, and the ongoing story of Neighborhood of Make-Believe serves as an illustration.
Rogers covers a wide range of topics over the years, and the series does not shy away from problems avoided by other children's programs. In fact, Rogers loved himself when, on March 23, 1970, he dealt with the death of one of his carp. The series also discusses competition, divorce, and war. Rogers returns to the topic of anger on a regular basis and focuses on peaceful ways of coping with anger.
Beginning in the third season, Mr. Rogers always makes a clear distinction between the realistic world of his television environment and Make-Believe's fantasy world (before that, the lines are a bit blurred because he often talks about it as real and he has a direct line of contact with the characters in it). He often discusses what will happen in Make-Believe before the next fantasy segment is shown ("Let's pretend that Prince Tuesday has had a terrifying dream..."), and sometimes acts out of the Make-Believe bits with the model on the table before the camera was transferred to a live-action doll rendition. The miniature motor trolley, known in character form as "Trolley", with the accompanying piano theme music accompanying it, is the only element that appears regularly in the realistic world and Make-Believe: it is used to transport viewers from one field to another. Rogers, however, is mentioned from time to time in Make-Believe, mainly by Mr. McFeely, who appears occasionally in the Make-Believe segment and seems to form relationships between the two worlds. The idea of ​​a trolley came from Rogers. When he was young, there were many trolleys operating in Pittsburgh, and he liked to ride them. This reality/fantasy distinction puts Rogers' series in sharp contrast to other children's series, such as Sesame Street and Captain Kangaroo, which freely combine realistic and fantastic elements.
Cart is a character in itself. Often when crossing into Neighborhood of Make Believe, it will stop and have a "conversation" with King XIII Friday (by moving back and forth a bit and making a bell sound to respond to Friday) then continue. The trolley also really shows the difference between the worlds during the week when the three youngest doll characters (Daniel Striped Tiger, Prince Tuesday, and Ana Platypus) are ready for and go to school for the first time, as he plays school buses. When at Mister Rogers's house, it has only two sheets of yellow construction paper shaped and drawn like a school bus profile attached to each side, but at Neighborhood of Make-Believe, it looks like a real school bus except with a trolley wheel.
The series features "Picture Picture", a rear projection film and a slide projector, whose screen is wrapped in a photo frame. In the first episode, Picture Picture will feature films or slides in Mister Rogers's commands; after the material is presented, Mister Rogers will thank the Picture Picture, which will return "You're Welcome" on the screen. After 1970, Picture Picture no longer operates miraculously, becoming a mere projector; Mister Rogers will insert movies, slides or videotapes through the slots on the side, then show the material using a wired remote control. When Picture Drawing is not used, different paintings will be displayed on the screen. Often it will display the words "Hello" or "Hi" at the opening.
The series is also famous for the use of inspired jazz music, largely organized and performed by Johnny Costa, until Costa's death in 1996, when he was replaced by Michael Moricz for the rest of the series. The music is unique in its simplicity and flow mixed with sketches and series features. Music is usually played live during recording. The lyrics and melodies were written and sung by Rogers, who created more than 200 original songs.

After the series
When Fred Rogers died in 2003, the PBS website advised parents on how to respond to children who questioned about Rogers's death.
Starting September 3, 2007, some PBS affiliates began to replace events with new programs like Super Why! , WordGirl and WordWorld . In June 2008, PBS announced that, by the end of 2008, PBS will stop Mister Rogers' Neighborhood broadcast as part of its daily syndication to member stations instead of showing the program only once a week over the weekend. Milwaukee PBS, for example, still carries a one-week event, on Sundays, via its main HD/SD channel. Starting September 1, 2008, the Environment program was replaced by new programs like Martha Speaks, Sid the Science Kid, and The Electric Company updates. However, each member station has the option to broadcast the Neighborhood independently of the PBS syndicated feeds, with WQED series homes in particular continuing to air every day until 2010. There were campaigns in 2008 and 2009 to urge PBS and all member stations to take the show back seven days a week.
Animated spin-off
In July 2011, during the Television Critics Association's summer press tour, it was announced that a new spin-off animated series, Daniel Tiger Neighborhood , is in production. The show debuts on most PBS stations on September 3, 2012. The series features Daniel Tiger, the four-year-old son of Daniel Striped Tiger, as the host of the series, which also features the Make-Believe Environment all grown older, with children now have their own family.
Ordinary music and songs
Regular track
The song "Will not You Be My Neighbor?" written by Fred Rogers in 1967 and used as the opening theme for every episode of the show.
In the first three seasons of the show, as new episodes continue to be produced, each event ends with the song "Tomorrow", written by former Rogers associate, Josie Carey. Beginning with Season 4 in 1971, "Tomorrow" was only used Monday through Thursday of the episode, and a new cover song, entitled "The Weekend Song", which is only used on Friday's episode, as the program will not return until Monday.
Finally, the song "Tomorrow" was completely removed due to copyright issues, and in 1973, Rogers sang "It's Such a Good Feeling" at the end of each episode. Prior to 1973, the original version of "It's Such a Good Feeling" was used as part of Mister Rogers's general repertoire. When "It's Such a Good Feeling" became the closing theme for Mister Rogers' Neighborhood in 1973, he used the rewriting of "The Weekend Song" at the end, using only the first four lines: "And I will back when it's a new day, and I'll have more ideas for you.And you'll have things you want to talk about, I will also ". This is only used on Monday to Thursday episodes. But on Friday's episode, the lyrics are changed to "week" instead of "day". In the early episode of this season, the line was originally written as "When tomorrow is new".

- Johnny Costa (1968-96)
- Michael Moricz, who took over as music director after Costa's death and served until the end of the series in 2001.

- Johnny CostaÃ, - Piano, Celesta, Synthesizer & amp; Whistle Cart
- Joe Negri - Guitar

Broadcast history
The first broadcast of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was on the National Educational Television network on 19 February 1968; the color of the NET logo appeared on the building model at the beginning and end of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood from 1969 to 1970. When NET closed its doors, the series moved to PBS, though the episode until late 1971 was still copyrighted by and produced for.NET.
The series' first season (1968) consists of 130 episodes, produced in black and white. For seasons 2-8 (1969-75), the event produced 65 new color episodes each year. At the end of season 8, this means there is a 455 color episode library that can be repeated indefinitely. As a result of the reduced funds required to produce the show, a decision was made to wrap the series production, much to Rogers' hatred. As a result, season 9 (1976) only consists of five episodes. These five new episodes (which aired the last week of the original episode of the so-called "first series") featured Mister Rogers in his workshop, watching scenes of previous episodes of the series, which he recorded on videotapes and stored on a shelf in his workshop. On Friday's episode of the week (February 20, 1976), he reminded viewers that they too can watch many of the old episodes that begin the following week. Two primetime episodes were produced and aired as special: the December Christmas show 1977 and the "spring" show-based in June 1979.
In 1978, with more funds secured, series production resumed, with an eye toward "refreshing" the show by producing 15 new episodes per year. This "second series" episode, which began airing in August 1979, will mix with an existing cycle of repetition of the so-called "first series" (ie, the season 2-9 episode of color, broadcasted from 1969). -76).
The series airs 15 new episodes each year between 1979 and 1993. In addition, there are occasional "Mister Rogers Talks with Special Parties About..." specials, featuring panelists discussing ways in which parents can talk to their children about the issues discussed in Mr. Rogers' environment. This specialization is usually broadcasted on weekends, just before the episode of the new Monday-to-Friday episode.
Beginning in 1994, the production schedule changed so that 10 new episodes a year were produced instead of 15. Shortly afterwards, on August 11, 1995, the episode of the "first series" (1969-75) was withdrawn from the repeat schedule, as there were over 200 episodes the "second series" available for broadcast, and many of the first series episodes have become obsolete. The final years of this show vary the number of episodes produced per season: season 26 (1995-96) consists of 20 episodes, season 27 (1997) produces 10 episodes, season 28 and 29 (1998-99) both contain 15 episodes, and season 30 (2000) returned to 10 episodes. The last season, season 31 (2001), consisted of only 5 episodes, centered on the theme "Celebrate Art".
Some episodes of the "first series" are available for viewing at Paley Center for Media, including the first episode of the series and the first color episodes. The complete collection of episodes, including more than 900 videocassettes and scripts of the show along with other promotional materials produced by Rogers or its Family Communications Inc. production company, is at the University of Pittsburgh's Rogers' Neighborhood Archives located in the Elizabeth Nesbitt Room in the Building School of Information Science University.
Reruns
When PBS began airing the 460 first color episodes of the series in 1976, some of the earliest color episodes from 1969 and 1970 were re-edited with new voice-overs or recordings. For example, in one episode of 1970 where Mister Rogers showed the soundproof ear protectors used by airport workers on the runway, the film footage used featured a worker directing a United Airlines jet with a stylish "U" logo that was not introduced until 1974. All revised episodes of the first series also include additional segments following closing credits, mentioning episode numbers and additional companies that provide funding since this episode aired, even though they did not provide funding at the time of original production.
In 2013, most of the "second series" episodes of 1979-2001 are still in active rotation at a number of PBS stations. The only exception is the week-long "Conflict" series (episode # 1521- # 1525), first aired during the week of November 7-11, 1983. The series of stories covers topics of war, bombs and weapons. race, and was created in response to the Grenada Invasion, and the 1983 Beirut barrack bombing. The last "Conflict" series aired on PBS during the week of April 1-5, 1996.
Only a few episodes of the series have been released to DVD by Anchor Bay Entertainment, although some previous compilation-based releases were issued on VHS by Playhouse Video during the mid-1980s. 100 episodes have been released as part of Amazon Video. A DVD set entitled "It's a Beautiful Day Collection", containing 30 episodes, was released on March 27, 2018 by PBS.
