Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood



When my kids were little, I used to watch all the popular children shows with them: Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, Sesame Street, The Electric Company and others. We also watched cartoons like Looney Toons, Tom and Jerry and Transformers.

When I started to babysit for my grandchildren, each of them introduced me to the newest and popular cartoons and Disney Movies. I overdosed on The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Dora, and SpongeBob Square Pants. Now, while watching one of my younger grandchildren, I have been introduced to Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. It is a Mr. Rogers Production and starts off with the same song, Won’t You Be My Neighbor, and with Daniel Tiger zipping up a red sweater and lacing up tennis shoes…just like the old Mr. Rogers shows. It shows the neighborhood, the trolley and the friends like Mr. McFeeley, Lady Elaine Fairchilde to King Friday.




I have to say this is a sweet show, just as the old Mr. Rogers show. This is totally refreshing and one of the better animated shows with positive messages for younger children, just as Mr. Rogers show was for my kids and well, for me, too!
