THE NEIGHBORHOOD ARCHIVE - All Things Mister Rogers | ||
Episode 1176 Air Date: April 19, 1971 Mister Rogers arrives with some paper and a special pen which he takes to the kitchen and uses to demonstrate calligraphy. He shares a film about a time he attended a calligraphy class. After the film, Mister Rogers talks about how everyone's handwriting is different and sings Everybody's Fancy. He then makes a frame out of paper and uses it to frame the Eiffel Tower model, leading into a time of Make-Believe. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Mr. McFeely delivers a message to Grandpere. The message is from Grandpere's granddaughter, Collette, and informs him that she is coming for a visit. Henrietta sees a picture of Collette and is intimidated by her beauty. At the tree, X and Lady Aberlin are surprised when Henrietta answers the door wearing fancy clothes and speaking in French. Seeing the picture herself, Lady Aberlin realizes why Henrietta is acting differently. Back at the house, Mister Rogers sings It's You I Like before Betty Aberlin stops by and shows her own style of fancy writing. NotesThis week's Neighborhood of Make-Believe story is used as the basis for two children's books: Henrietta Meets Someone New and Wishes Don't Make Things Come True. Appearing In This Episode
