THE NEIGHBORHOOD ARCHIVE - All Things Mister Rogers | ||
Episode 1085 Air Date: February 27, 1970 Mister Rogers takes a close look at the zipper on his sweater as he shows viewers how the teeth come together when zipped. With him, he has a copy of an x-ray image of his chest which he shows by placing it in front of Picture Picture's blank screen. Mister Rogers explains what an x-ray is before he shares a film about a time he and Bob Trow had their x-rays taken. After the film, Mister Rogers sings I Like to Be Told as he talks about the importance of knowing about new experiences before they happen. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Lady Elaine thinks that the King's secret is a plan for a Neighborhood zoo and Bob Dog is frightened at the thought of wild animals being nearby. Although King Friday says that there will not be a zoo, Lady Elaine does not believe him and tries to read his mind. Lady Aberlin arrives and explains that, even with a magnifying glass, no one can see what other people are thinking. King Friday agrees to share his secret on Monday. Back at the house, Mister Rogers mentions that even x-rays are not able to see what other people are thinking. He talks about how people have different kinds of feelings before he sings What Do You Do With the Mad That You Feel. Bob Trow stops by with a model of Bob Dog, complete with the cage he wears when he is frightened. Mr. Trow barks and howls like Bob Dog. NotesMister Rogers and Bob Trow have their x-rays taken by a service provided out of a van parked on the street called "Have a Free X-Ray." When Bob Trow stops by at the end of the episode, he shares a card with the results of his x-ray: "Congratulations, your chest x-ray shows no sign of TB." Appearing In This Episode
