Mister Rogers Boogies in The Garden of Your Mind

Found this video spreading around the 'nets like ivy. It's a remix of Mister Rogers designed by Symphony of Science's John Boswell for PBS Digital Studios.  The song is created with bits of Mister Rogers' dialogue, which is modulated into a sing-songy rhythm, and then mixed in with some mash-ups of various music bites from the long running PBS children's show.  What makes this a great big treat is that it holds fast to the original themes of Fred Rogers' wonderful show, that of imagination and goodness.  It's refreshing to see someone use their imagination to create a hip new look at Rogers' old skool style, without escaping to parody or raw humor.  Such a great, catchy song!  Enjoy!!!

good eats!

Having gone Manly Gaga over the Double Deckers on my last post, Mr. Miller realized that I had jumbled my memories of that show with another show that was on at the same time?

After going through all the youtube videos of Double Deckers, I realized -- hey! wasn't this an awful lot like Mulligan Stew?

Well... yes... and no. They were both shot on film -- yes. And they both had a gang of kids -- yes. And they had a lot of action take place in somewhat urban locales -- yes. But, only Double Deckers had goofy, wild, kid adventures, and Mulligan Stew was more like a glorified segment of Sesame Street or Zoom!, with lessons and music.

Compare with the links from Mr. Miller's previous blog entry...



Both shows were highly entertaining, and full of great kid-friendly action. Mr. Miller really wished they had shows like this these days for his mini-Mr. Millers to enjoy.
