Episode 1480Topic: Divorce
In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Lady Elaine's eagerness to know what Corney is making has reached its peak as the Clown Delivery Service arrives at the castle with the royal plane-car. The delivery clown (Chuck Aber) removes his mask and talks with Prince Tuesday about divorce. He shares that he is divorced and often feels sad that he does not see his children as regularly as he'd like. As King Friday and Queen Sara arrive, the plane-car is revealed. Before the royal family takes the plane-car for a test-flight, Corney shows off his latest creation -- pretzels shaped like rocking chairs. Back at the house, Mister Rogers talks about the importance of sharing true feelings before he takes viewers on a tour of a real airplane. Returning from the airport, Mister Rogers concludes by singing The Truth Will Make Me Free. NotesUnlike other episodes from the post-1979 era, the opening does not show text of the week's topic. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Chuck Aber plays the part of the part of a clown deliveryman. Corney places the pretzel Rockit on a shelf outside the castle -- a shelf that is not present in the scene until Corney arrives. Should it be assumed that Corney brought his own matching shelf to the castle? This episode is included on the DVD collection Mister Rogers Meets New Friends. Appearing In This Episode
