[THEME MUSIC]

THEME SONG: It's a beautiful
day in this neighborhood,

a beautiful day for a neighbor.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

It's a neighborly day
in this beautywood,

a neighborly day for a beauty.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

I have always wanted to have
a neighbor just like you.

I've always wanted to live
in a neighborhood with you.

So let's make the most
of this beautiful day.

Since we're together, we might
as well say, would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

Won't you be my neighbor?

Won't you, please?

Won't you, please?

Please, won't you
be my neighbor?

-Hi, neighbor.

How are you faring today?

Can you imagine what
might be in here?

It's called a tote
bag, and I brought

some things to show you today.

In fact-- let me unsnap this.

What do you think this might be?

Can you tell?

Peek-a-boo.

It's an inline skating doll.

Yes, and she has a helmet
and some protective pads here

on her elbow and wrist and knee.

And of course she
has her skates.

Let's try having her
skate on the floor.

See how she does.

Very good.

Very good.

So her head is protected,
her elbows are protected.

That's just in case she
should fall, you know.

And her wrists are protected,
and her knees are protected.

[PHONE RINGING]

I wonder who that is.

Let's go see.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello?

Oh, yes, sure.

Well, now's a good time.

Well, thank you.

All right.

See you later.

Bye, Chuck.

That was Chuck Aber.

He has some skating
equipment like this doll has,

but it's his size, so he thought
I might like to show it to you.

He said he'd be right over.

So why don't we just go
outside and wait for him?

And we'll see the real
skating equipment.

I imagine Chuck has the
protective equipment

for his head, elbows,
wrists, and knees.

Could you point to your head?

That's right.

Now would you point
to your elbow?

Would you point to your wrists?

Your wrists are just right
here-- right below your hand

like that.

Those are your wrists.

And now point to your knees.

There.

Those are the things
to be protected

when you're inline skating.

Oh, there he comes.

Hi, Chuck.

CHUCK: Hi, Fred.

How you doing?

-Look at you.

Aren't you doing well?

-Having a great
time inline skating.

-And you're so tall
in those skates.

-Tall.

-Yes, I should say.

Well, now you have
the same protection,

don't you, that this tall has?

-Well, let's see.

-Helmet.

-Helmet.

Elbows.

Wrists.

-Look at that.

-Knees.

That's the click drill to make
sure you have all of your pads

on properly.

-Click.

-Click.

-Uh-huh.

Oh, we'd love to see you skate.

-Oh, OK.

-Would you?

-Yes, I will.

Ready?

MISTER ROGERS: Good.

-Turn the corner.

-Come sit down, will you?

-Oh, thank you.

I will.

-You do very well.

-Well, thanks.

It's great fun.

-I wonder if I could try one
of those wrist things on.

-Oh, surely.

-I'd just like to
see how it feels.

-Oh, sure.

-I'm going to sit my
skater doll right here.

Kind of hard to sit
down with your--

-It is.

It can be hard to
stand or hard to sit.

-Yeah.

Let's put her right like this.

How do you do this?

-The right thumb goes
through that hole.

-Yeah.

-And that wraps around.

One strap.

That one goes the other way.

It reinforces.

-Oh, I see.

-Is that too tight?

-No, not at all.

-Good.

-Could we do a click test?

But if you should fall, that
really would help, wouldn't it?

-Oh, absolutely, yes.

It keeps your
wrists from hurting

and sometimes your hand--
protects you well down there.

-I'll help you
back on with this.

-OK.

-Do you do a lot of skating?

-No, actually, I'm
fairly new at it.

But Maggie and I are
taking some lessons.

Our instructor is Mike, and
he's been very, very helpful--

keeping us safe
on inline skates.

In fact, that's where
I'm heading now--

to meet Maggie and have
another lesson with Mike.

-Great.

Well, give both of them my best.

-Oh, I surely will.

I thought you would
enjoy seeing this.

-Oh, I certainly do.

I like seeing the real ones as
well as the ones on the doll.

-Terrific.

Bye for now.

-Bye, Chuck.

-There he goes.

He's good at that, isn't he?

Come on.

Let's go back inside.

There.

Now I have another doll in
here that I want to show you.

This is a baby doll.

And it has a head,
elbows, wrists, and knees.

But it also has a diaper.

Can you see the diaper?

There's his diaper.

See that?

Do you remember ever
wearing a diaper?

Well, you know what
diapers are for, don't you?

To keep your clothes dry before
you learn to go to the potty.

Let's just take this
doll into the bathroom.

Come along.

We'll give the fish
some food on the way.

There you are, fish.

Come along.

Now this is the toilet.

A lot of people
call it the potty.

And it takes some people
longer than other people

to learn to go to the potty.

In fact, that's one of the
big things about growing up,

isn't it?

[SINGING] One of the
things about growing up

is learning to go to the potty.

A very good thing about growing
up is learning when to go.

There's so many people proud
of you, and all of the things

you're learning to do.

So many people proud of you.

You're growing-- really growing.

One of the things
about growing up

is learning to go to the potty.

A very good thing about growing
up is learning when to go.

Learning when to go.

Stop.

Go.

-You know, sometimes people
wear diapers all the time.

And then after a while, they
wear them only at night.

So it's up to each
person to know when

you don't need the
diapers anymore.

But that's just another way of
knowing that you're growing.

Knowing that you're
growing-- I like that.

Let's flush the toilet,
so you can see that.

Nothing to be afraid of there.

Let's go into the other room
and have some make-believe.

Come along.

We'll get the Trolley.

We'll just sit right here.

Come along, Trolley.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[CHIMES]

Last time we pretended that King
Friday gave his old waterfall

away to Mayor Maggie and
all the Westwood neighbors.

Well, Lady Elaine Fairchilde
got very interested

in squirting water
with her hose.

So let's make-believe some more
about that as the Trolley goes

into the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe.

[CHIMES]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[CHIMES]

-Hi, Trolley.

[CHIMES]

Are you expecting
rain in Westwood?

-Oh, no, but I want to be
protected from the squirts.

-Oh.

Oh, what kind of squirts?

Oh!

-That kind.

-Where did that water come from?

-Our Museum-Go-Round neighbor,
Lady Elaine Fairchilde.

-She's squirting water?

Oh!

-That's right.

-Well, I wonder why.

-I don't know.

-Oh.

I better get an
umbrella or something.

-Good idea.

See you later, Tuesday.

-Wet or dry.

-Right.

-Uh, neighbor Aber.

-Oh, hi, Corny.

How are you?

-Uh, could you help me, please?

-Well, I'll be glad
to try to help.

-Well, I wonder if you
would take this big umbrella

and put it over
my machinery here.

-Mhm.

-Yeah.

We've been having these
little rain showers.

You know what I mean.

-I certainly do.

-If you'll just put it--
that's it-- up like that.

-Now you want this to--

-Yeah.

Right over the blinking lights.

-There.

How's that?

-Yeah.

That's just fine.

Oh, see what I mean?

It's like flash showers.

-That's Lady Elaine
squirting water, Corny.

-Well, I wondered.

It seemed a little
different from rain,

you know what I mean.

-Yes, I do.

-Well, I hope she gets
it out of her system.

Thanks a lot, neighbor A.

-Oh, you're welcome, Corny.

Incidentally, what are
you manufacturing today?

-Oh, well, I'll show you.

Do you have a second?

-I do.

-All right.

-[SINGING] He's a
man who manufactures.

He manufactures chairs.

He's a man who manufactures
chairs and everywhere-- Corny,

you're a man who manufactures.

-Well, it's an umbrella Rockit.

-That is terrific.

-Yes.

-May I open the umbrella?

-Of course.

-Yes.

[LAUGHING]

-That could come in very handy.

-Use every opportunity,
that's what I say.

-I wish you well, Corny.

-Thanks again, neighbor Aber.

-Oh, you're always welcome.

I think I better check
out squirt headquarters.

-Well, I'll seen you then.

-All right.

Bye for now.

-OK, bye.

-Lady Elaine, where are you?

-Up here, toots.

[LAUGHING]

-Oh, there you are.

-Yeah.

It's like having
my own fountain.

[LAUGHING]

-It's all right if you
keep it at your own place.

-Doesn't everybody
like my squirts?

-We just don't know
when to expect them.

-But, uh, you're
dressed for wet.

-Well, I know.

But I don't want to have to
wear my rain stuff all the time.

-Well, what do you suggest?

-I suggest you think
of other people.

-Oh, you're always saying that.

OK.

I'll try.

-Great.

How will you try?

-Uh, I'll try asking
before I squirt.

-That's a good beginning.

-Want a little
squirt, neighbor Aber?

-Well, just a little one.

-OK.

Ready?

-OK.

-Set?

-I think so.

-Squirt.

-Now that's better.

-All right.

I'll do my best.

-You see?

You can do it if you try.

-It helps to have you nearby.

-Oh.

-Hey, there's Daniel over there.

How about a little
squirt for Daniel Tiger?

-Wait until I ask
him, all right?

-I'm ready anytime.

-OK.

Hi, Daniel.

-Oh, hi, neighbor Aber.

-How are you today?

-Oh, I'm fine.

And you?

-I'm very well, too, thanks.

How would you like a squirt
of Lady Elaine's water?

-Uh, should I put
on my raincoat?

-That would be a good idea.

-All right.

I'll be right back.

Hi.

-Wow, you are a speedy tiger.

-I'm all ready.

-You're ready for your squirt?

-Mhm.

-OK.

Daniel's ready, Lady Elaine.

-Oh, look at that.

[LAUGHING]

-Very good.

Congratulations.

-Oh, my.

Are you all right?

-Oh, I'm fine, but
thanks for letting me

know about the squirt.

I like to be told
things like that.

-Oh, that's what
friends are for.

-I'm glad you're my friend.

-And you're mine.

-Mhm.

-[SINGING] It's you I like.

It's not the things you wear.

It's not the way
you do your hair.

But it's you I like.

The way you are right now--
the way down deep inside you.

Not the things that hide you.

Not your clock.

-My wet clock.

-[SINGING] It's just beside you.

-It's you I like.

Every part of you,
Mr. Aber-- your skin,

your eyes, your feelings.

-Whether old or new.

-Mhm.

-[SINGING] I hope
that you'll remember

even when you're feeling blue.

-Mhm.

-[SINGING] That it's you I like.

It's you yourself.

It's you.

It's you.

-It's you.

-I--

-I--

-Like.

-Like is right.

-Absolutely.

[CHIMES]

Oh.

There's the Trolley.

Would you excuse me, Daniel?

I need to see it.

I'll come back later.

-Oh, of course.

And thank you, neighbor
Aber, for everything.

-Oh, sure, Daniel.

I'll see you after while.

-All right.

-I haven't seen
any squirts lately.

[CHIMES]

But I see neighbor Aber.

-Hello, friends.

-I was just telling
Trolley that the squirts

seemed to have stopped.

-Well, at least we're getting
warned when they're coming.

-That's a big help.

-That's for sure.

Hey, want to go see Daniel?

-Yes.

I'll tell my mom and dad.

I'll be right over.

[CHIMES]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[CHIMES]

-Yes.

[CHIMES]

That really helped when
Lady Elaine could wait

until people were
ready for their squirt.

People do like to be told when
to expect things, don't we?

[SINGING] A very good
thing about growing up

is learning when to go.

Stop.

Go.

[KNOCKING]

There's somebody knocking.

Oh, it's our friend Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy Delivery.

Are you still interested in how
people make concrete sidewalks

-I've always been
interested in that.

-Well, I have a tape right
here of people doing just that.

-Would you be able
to tell us about it?

-I will if we can do it right
this very moment, all righty?

-OK.

Let's do it.

-Put it in Picture Picture.

-"How People Make
Concrete Sidewalks."

-That's right.

And as you watch it, I'll
tell you all about it.

-Oh, I bet that's interesting.

-It certainly is.

-I'll put it right in here.

-OK.

-And we'll see how people
make concrete sidewalks.

MR. MCFEELY: When people
make concrete sidewalks,

they start by loading
a truck with concrete

at the concrete plant.

The driver backs his tuck
up to the loading platform.

MISTER ROGERS: He has to be
very careful, doesn't he?

MR. MCFEELY: Oh, yes, he does.

There's just enough
room for his truck

that he has to make sure
it's lined up just right.

Concrete is made with cement,
sand, gravel, and water.

MISTER ROGERS: All
those things together.

MR. MCFEELY: All
those things together.

And it gets mixed in this
container called a drum.

MISTER ROGERS: Well,
now is that concrete

coming out of the drum?

MR. MCFEELY: Yes, it is.

And it's going
down that big tube

and into another
drum on the truck.

You'll see that in a moment.

MISTER ROGERS: Well,
it's mixing and turning.

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

It needs to keep mixing
and turning to keep it

from hardening before
it's ready to be poured.

There it goes into the truck.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh, and the
truck's mixing and turning,

too-- the drum on the truck.

MR. MCFEELY: And now the
driver takes the concrete

to where the sidewalk
is going to be made.

MISTER ROGERS: Is this where
they're going to make it?

MR. MCFEELY: Yes.

MISTER ROGERS: Well, what
are these people doing?

MR. MCFEELY: Oh,
they're making a frame.

And that's where the
concrete will go.

MISTER ROGERS: And what is that?

MR. MCFEELY: That's called mesh.

It's made of steel
and helps keep

the concrete from cracking.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh.

But you don't see that.

MR. MCFEELY: No, because
the concrete goes over that.

You'll see in a moment.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh,
there's the truck.

And the drum's still turning.

MR. MCFEELY: It surely is.

MISTER ROGERS: Well, it's
gone too far, hasn't it?

MR. MCFEELY: No.

He's going to back up.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh.

MR. MCFEELY: He's
backing up carefully.

And he has to get the truck
ready to pour the concrete.

There's the driver.

He's taking the
cover off the sh**t.

See?

That's where the
concrete will come out.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh.

I see.

There.

MR. MCFEELY: He's
not quite finished.

MISTER ROGERS:
What's he doing now?

MR. MCFEELY: Oh, he's
attaching extra pieces

to make the sh**t longer so
it reaches over to the mesh.

MISTER ROGERS: I see.

MR. MCFEELY: And this man
helps him put it in place.

And he lets him know when
it's OK to pour the concrete.

There's the concrete.

He's starting.

The concrete will come out.

You'll see it in a moment.

MISTER ROGERS: There it comes.

Well, now what's
that man doing there?

MR. MCFEELY: Well,
he's spreading

the concrete out over the frame.

You see, he's covering the mesh.

MISTER ROGERS: Isn't
that interesting?

MR. MCFEELY: Mhm.

And he stops it now.

And these men use a board
to smooth out the concrete.

You see how it's
getting smoother?

MISTER ROGERS: Oh, yes.

So enough concrete has been
poured to make the sidewalk?

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh, so
there goes the truck.

MR. MCFEELY: Probably
back to the plant

to get another load of concrete.

Now this man uses a long
tool with a flat end

called a bull float to make
the concrete even smoother.

MISTER ROGERS: It's starting
to look like a sidewalk now.

MR. MCFEELY: Oh, it is,
but it's not finished.

Next, he takes a special
broom to put tiny lines

in the concrete so the
sidewalk isn't slippery.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh.

I never knew there were
special brooms for doing that.

Can people walk on
the sidewalk now?

MR. MCFEELY: Oh, not yet.

It needs to dry overnight.

In fact, this man
blocks the new sidewalk

so people won't step
on it before it's

completely dry and hard.

And that's how people
make concrete sidewalks.

-That is very
interesting, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, I thought you'd enjoy it.

There are many
types of sidewalks.

-Oh, yeah.

-Well, as a matter of fact,
you have one near your porch.

-Oh, sure.
Let's go take a look at it.

-All righty.

There it is-- the sidewalk.

-That's right.

And as a matter of
fact, Chuck Aber

was here skating
on the sidewalk.

-Skating on the sidewalk.

Well, these boots have made
many deliveries on sidewalks.

-Oh, I'm sure they have.

-So right now I'll say [SINGING]
Speedy Delivery to you.

Good day.

-Good day to you, Mr. McFeely.

-Bye bye.

-[SINGING] Speedy
Delivery to you.

-Oh, Mr. McFeely
is a great person.

Look at these two
dolls sitting together.

Peek-a-boo.

That reminds me.

We haven't played hide
and seek for a while.

Shall we do that now?

I'll hide, and you
look for me, all right?

Now you stay right
there, and I'll tell you

when to start to
look, all right?

OK.

How do you do?

One more place all right?

Let's try outside.

Now you stay right
there, and I'll hide.

And I'll tell you when to look.

OK.

Oh, my.

I'm proud of you.

Yes, I'm proud of you in every
way that you're learning.

You're learning so many things.

You're even learning
to wait for things.

And learning to think
about other people

and their feelings.

When you do that, that shows
that you're really growing.

And growing well.

[SINGING] It's such a good
feeling to know you're alive.

It's such a happy feeling,
you're growing inside.

And when you wake
up, ready to say,

I think I'll make
a snappy new day.

It such a good feeling, a
very good feeling, the feeling

you know that I'll be
back when the day is new,

and I'll have more
ideas for you.

And you'll have things
you'll want to talk about.

I will, too.

-We will have lots of things
to talk about, won't we?

When we're together next.

You always make each
day such a special day.

Come on, inline skater.

You know how.

You make it special by
just your being yourself.

I'll be back next time.

Bye bye.
