Mr. Roger's First and Last times singing "Won't You Be My Neighbor"
And make this your daily reminder to be kind to someone
We never had this show growing up in South Africa, but I hear this man made a lasting impression on so many young people.

Anything comparable for kids today? Or is everything for kids just one big giant advertisement/product placement commercial nowadays?
Not that I am aware of. While there are still a number of shows that are not cartoons masquerading as toy commercials there does seem to be a lacking of a show like Mister Rogers and I do not think there will be another.
I grew up watching Mr. Robert's Neighborhood.
It was broadcast on KDKA TV from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania -- 40 miles from where I lived.
(Yep, that is where 'Ole Cosmic was hatched. LOL)
Yes, it was a great show & it did make a wonderful lasting impression on me.
Mr. Robert's was a terrific person.
@ThomSirveaux Thank You for posting this. Much appreciated.
We need more people like him. I wish I could be more like him...
we Baby Boomers grew up with Soupy Sales

I remember watching this as a kid myself. His show isn't on anymore, but they have re-vamped it into a cartoon called Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, which has many of the same characters. I watch it with my 4 y/o grand-daughter on occasion. Not bad...but is really lacking that special something Mr. Roger's brought to the show.

No, Sesame Street was close.
If Jesus Christ existed, and actually did come back, it would have been as Fred Rogers.
I can remember Captain Kangaroo, Sherrif John, and Hobo Kelly... ancient stuff
I remember growing up watching the shows of Mr Rogers, Captain Kangaroo, Mr Peppermint & several others that would often air either on Sunday mornings or on weekdays shortly after kids would be getting out of school. As I recall, Mr Rogers was shown on PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) here in Texas, which was why there were few commercials & most of them were for other shows or content that would be shown on that channel.
I believe many seasons of the show (if not all) are on Amazon Prime Video. My little co-pilot loves it, especially after a long day at school (daycare).

Here, because you can't cry every day (not sure you want your kids watching this....):
