[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 [INAUDIBLE] [INAUDIBLE]

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.

Welcome to this place.

Do you have any idea what
might be in this bag?

Two things.

One of them grows on a tree,
and the other is in a bottle.

I'll show you.

An Apple grows on a tree, and
apple juice is in a bottle.

I often wondered how people
make apple juice from apples.

You can't just squeeze
the apple with your hands,

the way you squeeze an
orange to get orange juice.

So I asked Mr. McFeely if he
would look for a videotape

which shows how people make
apple juice in a factory.

He said he'd try to
bring it early today.

But in the meantime, while
we're waiting for him,

I thought I might just
get some things here.

Now, could we make a factory
out of this, do you think?

An apple juice factory?

I guess this needs to be
up a little, like that.

Do you like to play with blocks?

To build with blocks?

I do.

There's the factory.

Now here is a truck.

Usually, when there's a
factory, there are trucks.

I like trucks, too.

As a matter of fact,
one day, I remember

watching some young
neighbors of mine playing

with some trucks in a sandbox.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-I like to remember
times like that.

Oh, that must be
somebody at the door.

Let's see who it is.

Mr. McFeely.

Mr. McFeely, welcome.

-Do you still want
that apple juice tape?

-Oh I certainly do.

As a matter of fact,
I've just been making

an apple juice
factory out a blocks.

-There it is.

That's a fine factory.

How would you like to
see people actually

working to make apple juice?

-I'd like that.

-Right there.

How people make apple juice.

-Do you have to
watch it with us?

-I'd like to see it again.

-Good.

Let's put it in picture picture.

-All righty, we'll do that.

-In it goes.

How people make apple juice.

MR. MCFEELY: When
people make apple juice,

first they need to pick
apples from the apple trees.

MR. ROGERS: He works so fast.

MR. MCFEELY: Yes, and
he's very good at his job.

The apples are loaded
into those big wooden bins

and then taken by
truck to the factory.

Then, with the
help of a forklift,

they are dumped into an
even bigger container.

MR. ROGERS: This is
really fun to watch.

MR. MCFEELY: That's for sure.

There they go.

And then they travel
up the conveyor belt

and into the factory.

It takes a lot of people
to make apple juice.

These women check the
apples to make sure

only the ones that
are just right

will be made into the juice.

And sprayers clean them off.

MR. ROGERS: Up they go, on
to another conveyor belt.

MR. MCFEELY: And into this
machine, where they're

mashed up and then put
through a belt press that

squeezes the juice
out of the apples.

MR. ROGERS: And that
squeezes the juice, there?

MR. MCFEELY: Just a minute.

There's the apple juice.

MR. ROGERS: Uh-huh.

Well what's happening now?

MR. MCFEELY: This
is the mixing t*nk.

And here's where the juice
is stirred and cooked.

And these women are loading
the bottles for the juice

into a machine that washes
them with very hot water.

MR. ROGERS: Looks like
a parade of bottles.

MR. MCFEELY: You're
right, it does.

MR. MCFEELY: And the bottles are
finally filled with hot apple

juice, this is my favorite part.

MR. ROGERS: I can see why.

It is fun to watch.

MR. MCFEELY: And from there,
the bottles travel on to--?

MR. ROGERS: Another
conveyor belt.

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

To This machine, where it
puts a label on each bottle.

The bottles are
placed into boxes.

The boxes are closed and
sent to stores everywhere.

And that's how people
make apple juice.

-Thank you very
much, Mr. McFeely.

-Oh you're welcome.

-I'd like to give you something.

-All right.

-An apple.

-Before it's juice,
it's an apple!

-That's right.

Would you like to have it?

-I'd be glad to.

I'll take it home and
share it with Betsy.

-Well, please give
her my best regards.

-Your apple and
your best regards.

And remember, if there's
anything you want,

if there's anything you
need, McFeely's delivery

brings it to you
here with speed.

Yes our speedy delivery,
our speedy deliveries.

Speedy delivery to you.

Speedy delivery.

-Thank you Mr. McFeely.

-Well on the road again.

More deliveries to do.

I'll see you around
the neighborhood.

-Have a great day.

-Speedy delivery
to you, goodbye!

-Buh-bye!

Mr. McFeely's a fine person.

Let's have some make believe.

We've been pretending that
Lady Elaine Fairchilde is going

to have a Found Objects sharing
exhibit at her museum-go-round.

The trouble is, everybody
thinks she may be taking things

without people knowing it
and without asking them.

King Friday's crown
is missing and so

is the Westwood town sign.

Let's make believe that the
King is talking about it

with his niece, Lady
Aberlin, as the trolley goes

to the neighborhood
of make believe.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Yes, trolley.

Good day to you, too.

Niece Aberlin, where
are you when I need you?

Where are you?

-Are you calling
me, Uncle Friday?

-Niece Aberlin, I presume?

-Correct as usual, Uncle Friday.

-We've been looking
everywhere for you, Niece.

-Well I've been
working for FFTW, sire.

-Food for the world?

-Yes.

Food for the world.

-Yes.

Well, I need you to
work for C F T K.

-CFTK?

-Exactly.

-What is CFTK?

-Crown for the King, of course.

-Crown for the King!

Do you want a new
crown, Uncle Friday?

-Oh, not a new one.

I want my own crown.

-Where is your
crown, Uncle Friday?

-We're not exactly sure.

Nevertheless, uh, uh, uh,
uh-- Lady Elaine Fairchilde

is having an exhibit
of found objects.

-Found objects.

-But how would anyone
find your crown?

-As I was swimming, I placed
it in the crown-holder

beside the pool.

And when I finished swimming,
the crown-holder was there,

but the crowd was gone.

-Well, I'm just going
to talk to Lady Elaine.

-Before you go Lady Aberlin,
I have something for you.

-Oh?

-Yes.

Simply wait right there.

I shall fetch it.

And here it is.

You may wear this
royal looker ID.

Yes.

And when you find my crown, you
may flip it to royal finder.

-This is the looker,
Uncle Friday?

-It is, yes.

-Oh.

And this is the finder.

-Yes, very good.

Would you like to look for me?

-Oh I would, sire.

Yes.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-You found me.

So therefore you put it
on finder, that's it.

-Sire.

-But now you're
looking for what?

-Well, I'm looking
for your royal crown.

And I trust that I will
be finding it soon.

-Very good.

In the meantime, royal
looker, look well.

-I will, Uncle Friday.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Lady A?

-Oh Lady A?

-That sounds like
[INAUDIBLE] especially.

-Oh, Lady Aberlin, i
am so glad to see you.

Oh, I've been away for
awhile, [INAUDIBLE]

Have you seen my
new block rocker?

-No, I haven't!

Where is it?

-I can't find it.

-You mean, it's a new
model rocking chair,

and you don't know where it is?

-That's right.

It's made out of
building blocks.

Wait, I'll show you
a picture of it.

Here it is.

-Block rocker.

Oh, that's a great
looking chair.

-Oh and it took a lot
of work to make it.

-But you say you don't
know where it is?

-No, I can't find it.

I had it on display out
here, and now it's gone.

-Well, I am a royal looker.

So I'll look for it for you.

Oh will you, Lady A?

Of course.

It may not be that far away.

-Oh thank you.

From this man who
manufacturers--

-He manufactures chairs.

-From this man who manufacturers
chairs like block rockers.

-I will find your
new block rocker.

-Oh you sure know how to
make a person feel better.

-I'll do my best, Corny.

-Oh, thanks so much.

[PIANO PLAYING]

-Closed?

I'll just ring the bell anyway.

-Well, if it isn't Lady Aberlin.

It's the strangest thing.

I was just thinking
of you and wondering

how that dear person
Lady A was doing.

As a matter of fact, I often
think of you and wonder.

How are you, anyway?

-Oh.

I'm surprised to see you,
Mrs. Okonak Templeton.

-Oh, Laney was so busy
with her new exhibit.

I told her I'd take a few days
off and come and help her.

That's what you do
for friends, you know.

Old high school friends we are.

That's what you try to
do for friends, you know?

-Well I really need to
talk to Lady Elaine.

-Oh, she's been out getting
more stuff for her exhibit.

Her found objects sharing
exhibit, you know.

She seems to have a
little bit of everything.

Well, well, you're in luck.

Here she comes now.

-Oh, my.

Oh Lady Elaine.

-Yeah, hey there Toots.

This is hard work getting
this exhibit together.

-Well isn't this Corny's
new Block Rocker?

-Yep.

It's the only one.

It'll be great in the exhibit.

-And did he give it to
you for the exhibit?

-Not exactly.

I found it, and he's
sharing it with me.

-Oh Lady Elaine.

-And, just a minute.

Here, have an apple.

-Why thank you.

-Oh hi, Neighbor Aber.

-Oh, I'm always glad to
see you, Mr. Neighbor Aber.

I was just thinking
of you earlier.

Something in Laney's
upcoming exhibit

reminded me of you and
everybody else in Westwood.

-No need to give away
all the surprises, Betty.

-We looked everywhere,
and we really

think our Westwood town sign
must be here, Lady Elaine.

-Oh, wait a minute.

This apple is for
you, Neighbor Aber.

-Well, thank you, but--

-Now you see, I share.

So everybody else should, too.

-Well, yes.

But you're supposed
to ask people

for things before you take them.

[GASP]

-You mean you didn't ask
people to borrow their things

for the found object
sharing exhibit, Laney?

-No, I found them.

-And took them?

-Well not exactly.

People are sharing them.

They know I'll bring them back.

I have a lot of more good
stuff in the GS room.

So come on, I'll show you.

Come on.

-Well, I'll work on this.

Rest your minds
and hearts at ease.

I'll use all my persuasive
talents and every word

in my considerable vocabulary.

Well, OK then.

Buh-bye!

-Thanks, Mrs. Templeton.

-Well I've never known
anything like this situation.

-I have confidence in Betty.

-Do you suppose we should just
wait here until she comes back?

-Lady A, and neighbor A?

-That sounds like
Daniel Tiger calling.

-It does.

-Hello, friend.

-Hi.

-Hi, Daniel.

-Hi.

I'm glad to see you.

-That's a nice bucket
you have there, Daniel.

-Oh, it was even nicer.

-What do you mean?

-Well, I had some apples in it.

And I was going to share
them with everybody.

-And what happened?

-Well, I went inside
my clock for a minute.

And when I came back--

-The apples were gone?

-Yes.

How did you know that?

-Did your apples look like this?

-Mm-hmm.

Every one of them
had an A on it.

Did you all take my apples?

-No, Daniel.

We would never take something
without asking for it.

-Oh, but you're
welcome to have them.

I mean, I have more inside.

I just kind of wondered
what happened to them.

-Oh, we think we know, Daniel.

-Oh.

-And we're going to
talk with some people

some more about this all.

-Oh thanks.

-You two are such
good friends to me.

I always feel better
when I'm with you.

-It works both ways, Daniel.

-Oh we love being with you.

It's you we like.

It's not the things you wear.

And not the way you do your
hair, but it's you we like.

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

Not the things that hide you.

-Not your toys.

-They're just beside you.

-But it's you we like.

-Every part of you.

-Your fur.

-Your eyes.

-Your feelings,
whether old or new.

We hope that you'll remember,
even when you're feeling blue.

-That it's you we like.

-It's you yourself.

-It's you.

It's you we like.

-That's the way I feel
about you all, too.

Thank you very much.

-There's the trolley.

-I hope you enjoy your apples.

Thanks, Daniel.

-Bye for now.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Oh yes, we're going
to see about it.

-Oh, that's for sure.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-What would you tell Lady
Elaine if you were her friend?

If she wanted to borrow
things for her exhibit,

she needed to ask people for
them, not just take them.

We'll make believe some
more about that next time.

Right now, let's give
the fish some food.

-It's you I like.

Every part of you.

Your skin, your eyes, your
feelings, whether old or new.

I hope that you'll remember,
even when you're feeling blue,

that it's you I like.

It's you yourself, it's you.

It's you I like.

And that's true.

Somebody at the door.

Busy day here today.

Oh, it's Marilyn Barnett.

Marilyn, how are you?

-Hi Fred, how are you?

-I'm great, thanks.

-I heard you were
interested in rhythm sticks.

-Oh I am.

-Great, I have someone
I want you to meet.

-Oh good.

-Mr. Rogers, this
is Todd Newbel.

-Glad to meet you, Todd.

-Glad to be in
your neighborhood.

-Thank you.

-Would you show Mr. Rogers
some of the things that you do?

-I would love to.

Rhythm sticks?

-Yes.

These are called rhythm sticks.

You have two hand sticks
and another bigger

one that's always decorated.

What you do is you
flip it in the air,

and you bounce it
back and forth.

You can flip it on one
stick like a propeller,

or you can even have it go
flat, just like a helicopter.

-Well how does a person
begin to learn such a thing?

-Well first you
need a set of rhythm

sticks, which we brought.

-Here are your rhythm sticks.

-Oh my.

Would you like to try it?

-I'll try, absolutely.

-I'll show you how to do it.

You hold one in each hand,
balance that right on the end.

And the secret is to
toss it in the air

and then catch it, very gently.

-Oh, mercy.

-Yes.

That's it.

-Oh, it's not easy, is it?

-No, it definitely takes
a little bit of practice.

But once you get used to
throwing it and catching it,

not bouncing it.

Throwing and catching,
you'll learn very quickly.

-That's it!

-Wonderful.

And you can even throw it in
the air, with a little flip,

and catch it again.

-I'll try.

-Try it.

-All right.

-Good!

-And there's your first trick.

-Can you do that?

-I've been working
at it, I have.

-Good for you, Marilyn.

-Oh thank you.

-Could you show me that one
that you do way up in the air?

-All the way up?

All right.

You bounce it back
and forth and give

it a big throw and then a catch.

-Wow.

-Isn't that something.

-Fred, that takes
a lot of practice.

And you have to exercise and get
your body prepared for it also.

-Oh do you have
exercises for that?

-Show me, Todd.

Let's show him some
of our exercises.

-What kind of things do you do?

-Well, you use your arms a lot.

So you want to make sure your
arms are in real good shape,

and also your wrists.

Shoulders too.

Let's start doing this one.

We just take our hands and
turn them at the wrist.

Just turn them out, and
stretch your fingers.

-Stretch the finger.

-That's it.

Circle around and around.

Let's try it coming inside.

Circle around.

That's it.

Warm up those wrists.

Very nice.

We also have to do a lot of
balancing, isn't that correct

Todd?

So we stand at ease.

Spread your feet apart,
and just lean one way.

And stretch those
muscles in the leg.

And lean the other way.

Stretch and one side,
and to the other side.

And stretch.

And stretch.

For those muscles
in the lower legs.

-Oh, I can feel that.

Definitely.

You all are such good teachers.

-Thank you.

Now Todd is going
over to the school.

He's going to be doing a
performance for some students

there, so we have to run.

-Well it's great to meet you.

-Great to be in
your neighborhood.

-I sure wish you well, Todd.

Thanks, Marilyn.

-Thank you.

Bye bye, we'll see you again.

-You've got great friends.

-Thank you.

-Isn't it wonderful that
people will share with us

the things that
they know how to do?

And teachers do
that all the time.

I've always been so
grateful for the teachers

that I've had all my life.

Yeah, they've been so generous.

Do you have any
teachers you love?

I can imagine that
they love you, too.

I must put my things away.

It's you I like.

Get everything ready for
our next visit together.

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's 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 always have things to think
about and talk about, don't we?

I like being with you.

Sure.

I'll be back next time.

Buh-bye.
