This week marks the 50th anniversary of the premiere of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.” We talk with a reporter about the time he said Fred Rogers comforted him after a chance meeting in an elevator. Then, David Bianculli of NPR’s “Fresh Air” discusses Rogers’ legacy and explains why he says “Mister Rogers” is still relevant today.
