'Mister Rogers' dies at age 74

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- Television's "Mister Rogers," the cultural icon and kindly neighbor to generations of American children, died Thursday at the age of 74.

Growing up I was a PBS kid. It was one of the few things my mom would let me watch regularly. I remember watching Sesame Street, Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood, and The Electric Company regularly. I still remember so many bits about the show now. There was the trolley that went to the Make-Believe land, and Mr "Speedy" McFeely (the mailman). I'm not even sure if PBS even still airs old reruns of the show, but I hope they do (it appears they do). I actually think I even have the record from the show on vinyl. Goodbye Mr. Rodgers, you'll be missed.
