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

a beautiful day for a neighbor.

Would you be mine?

Could you could be mine?

It's a neighborly
day in this beauty

wood, 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.

Do you sometimes
sing that with me?

[SINGING] Please won't
you be my neighbor?

I hope you do.

Look at this.

This is something I
brought to play with.

Let's just take
it to the kitchen.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Can you imagine what
might be in this towel?

I'll unroll it and show you.

Four sticks.

What would you do
with four sticks?

Put them like that?

Put them like that?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

What would you do with
four sticks and a circle?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

You could do that, or that.

Hm.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

It would be almost impossible to
do these things without the one

that's different from the rest.

I think I have some
other shapes in here.

Yep.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

The more different
ones you have,

the better for making things.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Have I ever shown you these?

I want to right now.

See?

This is a spoon, a
picture of a spoon.

And this is the word "spoon."

Now, if I take the
picture away, you still

see the word "spoon" down there.

Eh?

Peekaboo.

Let's do that with this one.

This one is a fork.

Picture of a fork, and
there's the word "fork"

right down there.

Take the picture
of the fork away.

Bring it back.

There's fork with its own word.

Shall we try one more?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

What's that?

Picture of a sock, isn't it?

And there's the word
"sock" down there.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Oh, there's somebody
at the door.

Let's see who it is.

We'll come back to this later.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

It's Mr. McFeely.

I don't think we've
ordered anything.

-Speedy delivery.

Well, I borrowed this tape
from my neighbors the Glausers

-Oh.

-And Trey Glauser has a
service dog whose name is CD.

And this tape shows some of the
things that CD does for Trey.

Would you like to see it?

-Well, is it the kind of thing
we can show in Picture Picture?

-It sure is.

We could put it right
into Picture Picture.

-Oh, good.
-And you can see.

It's like a home movie.

-Oh, a home movie.

-That's right.

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

-Very good, Mr. McFeely.

-All righty?

-Oh, thank you.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MR. MCFEELY: There's Trey.

There's CD.

It's time for CD to be fed.

Trey says the word
"door," and CD

knows to open the closet door.

MISTER ROGERS: Well, is
Trey getting the food?

MR. MCFEELY: Yes, he is.

MISTER ROGERS: So he
has the dog food now.

MR. MCFEELY: He
has the dog food.

And he'll put it in the bowl.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MISTER ROGERS: I see.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Now CD's eating.

MR. MCFEELY: He's eating.

And while he eats, Trey does
some work on the computer.

And he likes computers, and
he knows a lot about them.

And right now, he's
writing a story.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MISTER ROGERS: Looks like
CD's finished eating.

MR. MCFEELY: In time for a
rest beside his friend Trey.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MISTER ROGERS: Where's CD going?

MR. MCFEELY: Well,
the phone rang,

and CD's going to
bring it to Trey.

Trey just says, "CD, phone."

And CD knows to
go get the phone.

MISTER ROGERS: And there
he is, giving it to Trey.

MR. MCFEELY: Yes.

It has a handle on
the back so that CD

can carry it in his mouth.

It's Trey's brother
calling from work.

He wants to race
remote-control cars later,

and Trey says that
would be great.

But first, he and his mom have
some things to do at the mall.

Trey's mom is going
to park the car

as Trey and CD get
ready to go inside.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

CD helps Trey with the door.

First, Trey hooks the
strap to the door,

and then moves out of the way.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

He tells CD to open
the door, and CD

holds it until
Trey can get to it.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MISTER ROGERS: What's
Trey doing now?

MR. MCFEELY: He's
unhooking the strap.

And you'll see why.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh,
he's unhooking it.

So CD goes in first,
and then Trey.

That's wonderful.

MR. MCFEELY: And you know
Trey likes computers.

So guess what store
they may be going to.

MISTER ROGERS: A computer store?

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

They're off to the
computer store.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MISTER ROGERS: Wonder
what he's going to get.

It looks like he knows
just what he wants.

MR. MCFEELY: Yes, he does.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Well, this next part
is interesting, too.

Trey hands CD the disk.

Then when Trey taps his finger
on the counter and says,

"Up," CD stands on his
back legs and gives

the disks to the clerk.

MISTER ROGERS: Well, what's
that, that he's doing now?

MR. MCFEELY: Well,
that's a change purse,

and it has money in it
to pay for the disks.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MISTER ROGERS: Isn't
that something?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MR. MCFEELY: CD's got the disks.

MISTER ROGERS: He's really a
big help to Trey, isn't he?

MR. MCFEELY: And he's
a good friend, too.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Home again.

Now there's Burke,
Trey's brother.

And the two of
them like to build

and race remote control cars.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MISTER ROGERS: There they go.

[LAUGHING]

MR. MCFEELY: Racing
around the driveway.

MISTER ROGERS: Yeah,
all over the place.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

It looks like those two brothers
are really having fun together.

MR. MCFEELY: Yes, they are.

MISTER ROGERS: And they're
bringing their cars back.

MR. MCFEELY: CD had a chance
to rest during the race.

MISTER ROGERS: Yeah.

Now they're off again.

MR. MCFEELY: Here's Trey and
his dad at the end of the day,

brushing CD.

MISTER ROGERS: I think
CD really likes that.

MR. MCFEELY: I
think he does, too.

-Trey and CD do lots
together, don't they?

-They sure do.

As a matter of
fact, they're going

to help me with some
extra deliveries.

And I told them I'd
meet them at the school.

So I'd better say
speedy delivery to you.

-So they're going
to help you today.

-They are.
They're going to help me today.

And I'll meet them
at the school.

So--

-Great.

-I'll say--
-Thank you, Mr. McFeely.

-You're quite welcome.

-That was very interesting.

Thank you very much.

-Bye-bye.

-Mr. McFeely introduces--

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

-Would you like to meet
Trey and CD in person?

-Well, you mean they're here?

-They're here.
They're coming down the street.

I thought you'd
like to meet them.

-Oh, I would.

Hi.

-Trey Glauser,

-Hi.

-Mr. Rogers.

-I'm glad to meet you, Trey.

-Nice to meet you.

-Thank you.

-And there's CD.

-How do you do, CD?

What a fine dog.

-Thank you very much.

-We saw the two of you in
this home video, you know.

-Yes.

-And you do so much together.

-Yeah, we do.

He's a great help.

-Ah.

How long have you had him?

-Um, I've had him for
about three years.

-And how did you get
to, how did you get him?

-Well, um, we signed
up with a company.

And I waited for a couple years.

And then they go
through, uh, many

dogs before they
find the right one.

And he was, he was a good, good
dog, meeting my requirements.

MISTER ROGERS: Uh-huh.

-And just the right
size and everything.

So, so we got paired up.

-You got paired up.

-Yes.

-And so you do lots
together, don't you?

-Yes, we do.

We pretty much go
everywhere together.

-And does CD sleep in
the same room with you?

-Yes, yes, he does.

Sometimes he sleeps on the bed.

Sometimes he sleeps
on the floor.

It depends on what he prefers.

-I see.

-Yeah.

-Uh, I wanted to ask if
you would let my friends

know what they should do if
they ever meet a service dog.

-Well, they should always,
whenever they see a service

dog, you know,
it's not something

that you always see in the mall.

Um, so you should never pet
a service dog or a Seeing

Eye dog, because
they're working.

And it'll, it would
distract them.

-It's their job, isn't it?

-Yes, it's their job.

And if everybody pet them, then
he would be very distracted.

And he wouldn't, um,
do work very well.

-Mhm.

-So.

-Are there some
things that, that CD

does that we didn't
see on the videotape?

-Um, yeah.

We like to play.

Um, he jumps through a hoop.

-Really?

-And he, uh, he shakes hands.

And he does this.

CD?

Talk.

Talk.

[BARKING]

He likes to bark
when I tell him to.

-When you go like
this and say, talk,

-Yes, yes.

-He does it.

-Yeah.

I taught him that one.

-You did?

-Yes, I did.

-Well, you, you all do
lots with each other.

And I suppose you have
quiet times together.

-Yes, we do.

Uh, we, we, uh, you know,
sometimes we just like to,

I just sit there and pet him.

And he, you know, puts
his head on my lap.

And we just, you know, I would
talk to him, pretty much.

You know, tell him what's
going on in my life. [LAUGHING]

-You sort of hang out together.

-Yeah, yeah.

You could say that.

-So he's a real friend.

-Yes, he is.

He's a great help
and a good friend.

-Look, he's lying down now.

What a fine, fine dog you are.

-Thank you.

-Hm.

Could you tell my
friends why you

need to use a wheelchair
and a service dog?

-Well, I was born
with a disability

that, um, gives
me brittle bones.

MISTER ROGERS: Brittle bones?

-Yes, which means they
break very easily.

MISTER ROGERS: Ah.

-Um, and so when I try to go
up hills and things like that,

he helps me out.

He pulls me up hills, and I hang
onto his harness on that strap

there.

-So you really can--

-Yeah, yes.

-Go together like that.

-Yes.

It's great.

-Everybody needs help, doesn't?

-Yeah, they do.

Everybody does.

-Everybody needs
some kind of help.

-Mhm.

That's right.

-As a matter of
fact, Trey and CD

are helping me do
some deliveries today.

-You're actually helping with
the speedy delivery service?

-Yes, I am.

[LAUGHTER]

-Great.

-Maybe before we go, he
could do it one more time.

-OK, yeah.

CD.

CD, talk.

Talk.

[BARKING]

MR. MCFEELY: Speedy delivery.

-Is that what he
said, speedy delivery?

-Speedy delivery.
We can pretend, anyhow.

-Well, sure we could.

-Well, we're on our way
around the neighborhood.

-Hope you'll come back to visit.

-It was nice to meet you.

-I'm glad to meet you, Trey.

-OK, goodbye.
-Bye-Bye.

-And you, too, CD.

Bye, Mr. McFeely.

-Bye.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Oh, I'm so grateful
to Mr. McFeely.

He always introduces us
to such wonderful people.

Trey's mom and dad must be
so proud of him, him and CD.

Let's have some
make-believe now.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Trolley, last time we
pretended that the gorilla

in the Neighborhood
of Make-Believe

looked friendly,
not fierce, and even

had a name, Kevin
Wendell Gorilla.

Lady Elaine doesn't think
gorillas can be friendly.

And she hasn't
met Kevin Wendell.

So she still thinks they should
catch him and send him away.

Well, let's pretend
more about that now.

All right, Trolley?

[TROLLEY BELL RINGING]

You ready for some make-believe?

All right.

Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Oh, hello, Trolley.

Yeah, I'm putting up
these signs everywhere.

Well, people have got
to get out their nets

and catch the gorilla.

Yeah, well, good luck
to you, too, Trol.

[TROLLEY BELL RINGING]

[TRUMPET PLAYING]

Uh-oh.

Here comes Friday.

I'm out of here.

-I thought I heard Fairchilde.

Oh, neighbor, I presume.

Very good.

Did you see Lady
Elaine Fairchilde?

Just what I thought.

So it's she who's putting these
posters in the royal garden.

Well, I'm expecting Mayor
Maggie for a meeting.

If she should arrive,
will you kindly--

oh, here she comes now, yes.

-Hello, King Friday.

-Mayor Maggie, I presume.

-Correct as usual, your majesty.

I hope I'm not late.

I've been so busy.

-You may come into the
castle for our meeting.

-Um, what are these gorilla
and net posters here for?

-Oh, Lady Elaine's trying
to catch a gorilla.

-Hm.

Looks quite tame to me.

-Yes, well, I'll see you in
the MP Room, Mayor Maggie.

-Very well, sire, MP Room.

Oh, of course, missing persons.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

DR. BILL PLATYPUS:
[CALLING OUT] Uh, gorilla!

Gorilla!

Kevin Wendell Gorilla!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Lady Aberlin told me how
kind you've been to her.

-I like to be kind.

-What did you say?

-I said, I like to be kind.

-Ah, I'm glad to hear you talk.

-I was too scared before.

-Well, I just want to thank
you for being so helpful.

-I got him!

LADY ELAINE FAIRCHILDE: Bring
him over here right away.

-No, no.

Just wait a minute here.

Just wait a minute.

-I'm, I'm sorry, Dr. Bill.

Lady Elaine said to bring
him over right away.

-This is bad, bad,
real, real bad.

Worry not, Kevin Wendell.

Worry not.

I'll come to your aid.

-Well, well, well, at
last we've got you.

Now, now what do you have to
say for yourself, gorilla?

-Oh, he got here as
fast as we could.

-Now, what's going
on here, Lady Elaine?

-We finally caught the beast.

-Well, why did you
need to catch him?

-Because gorillas hurt people.

-Well, did you not know
this is a friendly gorilla?

-How do you know that?

-I took time to find out.

-Well, I have to be sure.

-Shall I remove the net?

-Oh, yes, of course.

-Oh.

-If you say so, Dr. Bill.

-Come along with
me, Kevin Wendell.

Come to our home.

-Oh, oh, these doctors.

What are we going to do now?

-Well, your guess
is as good as mine.

[TROLLEY BELL RINGING]

-Oh, there's the trolley.

-Oh, there's the trolley.

Maybe I should tell
everyone that the gorilla

is over with the platypuses.

-OK, Handy.

See ya.

-See you.

-Thanks.

Oh, honestly.

[TROLLEY BELL RINGING]

-That's right, my
associate Mayor Aber.

[TROLLEY BELL RINGING]

We haven't seen him
for two or three days.

[TROLLEY BELL RINGING]

-Are you looking for
someone, Mayor Maggie?

-Yes, my associate
mayor, Mr. Aber.

Have you seen him around
this neighborhood?

-No.

The only visitor we've
had is a gorilla.

-Yes, I see the posters.

-Oh.

You know, I think they're
a little outdated.

-Well, I must
continue my search.

-Well, I wish you well.

-Thank you, Handyman.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Hm, friendly.

I wonder.

Could be.

[TROLLEY BELL RINGING]

Oh, yes, Trolley.

I'll see you next time.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-The people who got to know the
gorilla, got to talk with him

and know his name,
were the people

who weren't afraid of him.

The ones who didn't get to
know him thought he was scary,

and wanted to get rid of him.

That's something to
think about, isn't it?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Where do you think Associate
Mayor Aber might be?

We'll have to think
about that next time.

Right now, we feed the fish.

Oh, look at those fish.

They're enjoying their
food, and they're swimming.

You know, I wonder what a
make-believe platypus family

would give a make-believe
gorilla for dinner.

[SINGING] There are many
ways to say I love you.

There are many ways to say
I care about you, many ways,

many ways, many ways
to say I love you.

There's the singing
way to say I love you.

There's the singing
something someone really

likes to hear, the singing
way, the singing way,

the singing way
to say I love you.

Cleaning up a room
can say I love you,

hanging up your coat before
you're asked to do it,

drawing special pictures for
the holidays, and making plays.

You'll find many ways
to say I love you.

You'll find many ways to
understand what love is,

many ways, many ways, many
ways to say I love you.

-You'll find many ways, sure.

Even helping people
learn to read,

that's a way of
saying I love you.

Remember this one, sock.

There's the word for sock.

And there's the picture.

Fork.

There's the word for fork.

Remember spoon?

Peekaboo.

And here's one I
didn't show you before.

This is a shell.

And that's the word for shell.

Where's the shell?

Peekaboo.

We'll do more of
that some other time.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Do you know one
of the surest ways

of knowing how much
you're growing?

Not by how tall you are, not
by how many pounds you weigh.

One of the surest ways of
knowing how much you're growing

is seeing how many ways you
show people that you love them.

That's really important growing.

ENDING SONG: 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 will have things we want
to talk about next time.

I think maybe I'll
go and see if I

can find Trey, and
CD, and Mr. McFeely.

Maybe they'll be still
making some deliveries.

I'll be back next time.

Bye-bye.
