THE NEIGHBORHOOD ARCHIVE - All Things Mister Rogers | ||
Episode 1397Air Date: February 25, 1975
Sitting on the porch, Mister Rogers waits to see who the first person might be to come along. Almost immediately, Mr. McFeely arrives to invite Mister Rogers to his house where he has an animal to show. At the McFeelys' house, Mr. and Mrs. McFeely show Mister Rogers a young llama. They talk about its thick fur and its eating habits. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Mr. McFeely delivers some building blocks to the Platypus mound and Daniel is concerned that the blocks might be used to build "something bad." When Lady Aberlin builds with the blocks, they start to dance around on their own. She and X the Owl (who is pretending to be a fireman) are amazed until they realize that Lady Elaine Fairchilde has attached strings to the blocks. Back at the house, Mister Rogers attaches string to his own blocks to make them dance. He concludes by singing Pretending. NotesThe wooden blocks used in this episode appear to be the same ones -- in design, at least -- used in Episode 0022 and Episode 1487. Appearing In This Episode
