THE NEIGHBORHOOD ARCHIVE - All Things Mister Rogers | ||
Episode 1758Topic: Ready to Read?
Mister Rogers then invites viewers to join him as he visits a ballet studio where he talks with a student, instructor, and pianist and watches a performance. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Miss Paulificate is dressed as a fish in preparation for Lady Elaine's new television show called The Reading Game. Lady Elaine wants H.J. Elephant to be on her first program but H.J. is hesitant since he cannot read very well. Meanwhile, Corney has perfected his machine that will look inside things. Back at the house, Mister Rogers takes a minute to sit quietly and think before reading a poem. NotesAs Mister Rogers is zipping his sweater during the opening sequence, the zipper snags his tie but he recovers nicely and never misses a beat of Won't You Be My Neighbor. The "ballet rehearsal hall" that Mister Rogers visits is actually the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre where he talks with dancers Ying Li and Jaibin Pan, instructor Marianna Tcherkassky, and pianist Paul Sisco. As usual, Mister Rogers does not hesitate to jump right in and try something new. Appearing In This Episode
