[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?

-Welcome to this neighborhood,
television neighbor.

I brought a couple of
whistles with me today.

Do they look the same to you?

Now, I'm going to ask you
if they sound the same.

[LOW WHISTLE]

[HIGH WHISTLE]

Do they sound the same to you?

I'm going to take
them over to the piano

and we'll find the notes on the
piano that are like this one.

[LOW WHISTLE]

[PLAYING BETWEEN NOTES]

Do you remember our
neighbor Eric Kloss?

I think I have a picture of
him in the neighborhood photo

album.

Let's take a look here.

Neighborhood photo album.

Let's look for Eric.

This is an album with lots
of different neighbors in it.

There he is.

Eric Kloss.

Well, he plays
music wonderfully.

And he and some of his
friends-- here they are.

Johnny Costa and Bobby
Rossthorn, and Karl McVicker.

They're practicing over
at Negri's Music Shop

and they've invited
us to come over.

They always play fun things.

So I think I'll just
take my whistles with me

and let's go to
Negri's Music Shop.

Come along.

-Right over there, Helen.

And I'll be over in just
a minute to help you.

-Hey, Joe.
-Hi, Fred.

How are you?

-Good, thanks.

-OK.

Eric is here already.

He's in the back room.

And as soon as the others
come, we'll be there.

-May I go in?

-He's expecting your visit.

-Oh, thanks.

See you in a little bit.

[SAXOPHONE PLAYING]

-Fred, is that you?

-It is.

You've got good
ears, Eric Kloss.

-Well, I hope so.

I just wondered what you were
playing when I walked in.

-I was practicing some melodic
major scales and patterns.

-Scales.

Here you are, one of the
best saxophonist in the world

and you're still playing scales.

-The longer that
I've played this,

I've realized that practicing
is very, very important.

-I should say.

[WHISTLE]

-Is that a whistle?

-It is.

[WHISTLE]

-Is that another whistle?

-It is.

I've got two whistles here.

-Oh, you have two of them.

Well, you know
the word doorbell?

-Sure.

-Well, maybe I'll play
doorbell and you play bell door

and we'll just play
something together

and make it sound like that.

-Let's see what
you mean by that.

-OK.

Just follow me.

[SAXOPHONE TONES]

[WHISTLE MATCHING]

-I see.

-See?

Like that.

-[SINGING] Door bell.

-And then bell door.

-[SINGING] Bell Door.

-Let's do it.

[SAXOPHONE TONES]

[WHISTLE MATCHING]

-You could try that, you know.

You could go [SINGING] bah, bah.

[SAXOPHONE TONES]

Play it along with us.

[SAXOPHONE TONES]

Yeah.

I'll follow you.

-OK.

Door bell.

Two, three, four.

[SAXOPHONE TONES]

[WHISTLE MATCHING]

[SAXOPHONE TONES]

[PLAYING TONES TOGETHER]

Oh, that's it.

-We're a good duet.

-Yes, sir.

-Hey, Bob.

-Hi, Fred.

-Hi, Joe.

Hi, John.

-Hey, how you doing?

-Hey, Carl.

-Hey, sir.

How are you?

Good seeing you again.

-Fred, you know everybody here.

-Oh, sure.

-We were just going to
practice, you are special.

-Is it all right if I listen?

-You sure can.

-I'll just stand over here.

-Ready, guys?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[CLAPPING]

-Oh, that's beautiful.

Oh, wonderful.

-How about if we have Fred
play something with us

with his two whistles?

[WHISTLE TONES]

Oh, that reminds me of a song
"Be Brave and Be Strong."

-Oh, we could do that.

[WHISTLE TONES]

-Here we go.

[MUSIC PLAYING WITH WHISTLES]

-[SINGING] So be
brave and be strong.

Hey, thank you, gentlemen.

It's great to play
with your band.

See you all soon.

-You can come back
and visit us any time

with or without your whistles.

-Thanks.

See you later.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Bye, Becky.

[WHISTLE TONES]

Brave and strong.

Eric Kloss has been extra
brave and strong in his life.

And every time I tell him so,
he always says, oh, Fred, I've

had loving people to help
me all through my life,

especially with my blindness.

He's been a real
inspiration to me.

I think it's time for
some make believe.

Put this neighborhood
photo album back.

Last time we pretended that
they were able to get the cereal

to top coming down
on Daniel's clock.

Daniel was brave and
was able to help a lot.

Well, now let's make believe
about what they can do

with all that cereal
that came down.

OK, Trolley.

[TROLLEY DINGS]

[WHISTLE TONES]

Trolley, into the
Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

-Now, as I was saying.

I'm very proud of everyone.

-Thank you, King Friday.

-I have a royal whistle
for each of you.

-Oh.

There you go.

-Thank you.

-You may blow them.

[BOTH WHISTLES PLAY]

-No, no, no.

One at a time.

[WHISTLE TONES]

-Very good.

Now you may continue
the supervision

of the cereal cleanup.

-We already have boxes
and boxes filled with it.

-I trust that Daniel and the
Prince have been helpful?

-Oh, they've done a lot
of the work, your majesty.

-Very good.

Now, your assignment
is to find a place

to take all of those
boxes of cereal.

That is all.

Farewell.

-That is all.

-Where are we ever
going to find a place

to take all that cereal?

-I don't know.

-Do you need any in Westwood?

-Well, don't forget it
came down there too.

Let's just see what Daniel and
Tuesday have made of it so far.

-OK.

Good idea.

[WHISTLE TONES]

-Oh, look who's coming.

-Hi, Mayor Maggie.

Hi, Handyman.

-Anybody want to
buy some cereal?

-Oh, you're selling it?

-We're selling it and giving
it away, whichever you want.

-Yeah.

Small, medium, and large.

-X and Henrietta got two.

-And so did Lady Elaine.

-I wonder if Mr. Pecially
might want a box or two.

-Maybe so.

-Yeah, but you still
have 100 boxes left.

-I wish I could give a box
to anybody who's hungry.

-Sounds just like you, Daniel.

-Well, I'm so grateful
about getting brave

that I feel I want
to give, give, give.

-[SINGING] When your heart
has butterflies inside it.

Then your heart is full of love.

When your heart feels
just like overflowing,

then your heart is full of love.

Love is fragile as your tears.

Love is stronger
than your fears.

When your heart beats for
a special someone then

your heart is full of love.

When your heart has
room for everybody,

then your heart is full of love.

-Thank you very much.

-It's true.

-I have an idea, you all.

-What is it?

-I'll have to ask my mother
first, but I'll be right back.

-I wonder what he wants to do.

-Something about love, I guess.

-Well, that could
be lots of things.

-That's for sure.

[HORN HONKS]

-Look who's here.

-Who is it?

-Hi.

-Hi.

-Hi, Neighbor Aber.

-Hi, everybody.

-How you doing?

-I thought this machine
might be very helpful.

-How does it work?

-You can use it to pick up
a lot of big boxes like this

and move them from
one place to another.

-Could we see how you do it?

-Oh, yeah.

I'd love to
demonstrate it for you.

-Thanks.

-OK.

Now be careful.

Step back, please.

[SOUNDS OF AMAZEMENT]

-Look at that.

-Watch the tree there.

-Thanks, Handyman.

-Here we go.

-OK.

-That's really something.

-That really is.

-Coming back.

-OK.

Wow, look at that one.

Hey.

Wow.

-Oh, my.

-It's fun to see him do that.

-Yes, indeed.

-What do you think?

-It's an excellent machine.

Nevertheless, we
don't seem to have

any place to move the boxes.

-No.

-Oh, I see.

-Mother said it was a fine idea.

-What idea is that, Tuesday?

-Oh, Neighbor Aber.

What's that big machine for?

-Oh, it can move big boxes
from one place to another.

-That's perfect.

-Tuesday, what's your idea?

-Well, my mother is always
talking about her work

with Food for the
World and I just

thought we could give the
cereal to Food for the World.

-Hey, that is a
fine idea, Tuesday.

-It sure is.

-Yeah, but where
would we take it?

-First to the castle
and then to the world.

-Well, let's get
on with it then.

-Sure, here we go.

Hey, can I you there?

-Yeah.

Come along.

-I'm so proud of you, son.

We have a lot of help, mother.

-Well, thank you, everyone.

Just come right this way
for Food for the World.

-OK, Trolley.

[TROLLEY DINGS]

-So all that make
believe cereal is

going to be sent
all over the world.

You can pretend that
the next cereal you eat

has a little of it
right in your own bowl.

And you could share it
with your whole family,

just like you can share
pretend with everybody.

And you can share
love with everybody.

[SINGING] Love is
fragile as your tears.

Love is stronger than your fear.

When your heart beats
for a special someone,

then your heart is full of love.

When your heart has
room for everybody then

your heart is full of love.

I really like that.

[KNOCKING]

Let's see who's at the door.

Oh, that's somebody we love.

Good to see you, Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy delivery.

Speedy delivery.

I know you didn't
expect me today,

but Betsy and I were
having some yogurt

and we thought you'd
like to try some too.

-I love yogurt.

-Speedy delivery.

There you go.

-Thank you very much.

-And I brought you a spoon.

-You mean I can
have some right now?

-You can right now.

The fruit is on the bottom.

-Oh, yes.

-Right about there.

-You have to dig in there
and, oh, there it is.

Mm, that's good.

-One of my favorite foods.

-Thank you very
much, Mr. McFeely.

-Now that you've
tried the yogurt.

How would you like to see
how people make yogurt?

There it is.

How people in a
factory make yogurt.

-You're full of
surprises, Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy delivery surprises.

-Will you be able
to watch it with us?

-I can and I'll tell
you all about it.

All righty?

-Good.

-So let's get it on.

-Picture picture.

-Picture picture is the place.

-If you wait a minute, I'll
get it out for you here.

Here's the tape.

-Oh, that's very good.

Thank you.

How people in a
factory make yogurt.

Let's look at that together.

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
When people make yogurt,

they start by milking cows.

This is a dairy farm
where many cows live.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: Look
at all those cows there.

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
A lot of cows.

And this is a milking machine.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
A milking machine?

MR. MCFEELY
[VOICEOVER]: You'll see.

It's about to be
placed on the cow.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
That doesn't hurt, does it?

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]: Oh, no.

In fact, it makes
the cow feel good.

And the milk is gently
squeezed into a bucket.

Then the milk goes
into this t*nk

where it's kept cool and fresh.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
That's all milk in there.

MR. MCFEELY
[VOICEOVER]: All milk.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: Wow.

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
The fresh milk

is taken to the yogurt
factory in a large truck.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: What
a huge container of milk.

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
In the factory.

Now this person puts
a hose on the truck

so the milk can flow
right from the truck

into a special place
in the factory.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
You mean the milk's

going to go right
through that hose?

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]: Yes.

He's putting it right onto
the truck, hooking it up.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
And how do they

know when it's going to
start to flow in there?

MR. MCFEELY
[VOICEOVER]: You'll see.

That switch starts the flow.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: Oh.

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
Later the milk

goes into a t*nk where
it will be pasteurized.

That means it will be heated
up to make it extra clean.

There it goes into the t*nk.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
So this is all milk here.

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]: Next
the milk goes to a mixing t*nk

where something called
a culture is added

to help turn the
milk into yogurt.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
Just that little bit

of culture there?

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
Just a little bit.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: It
mixes around in there, I guess.

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
It mixes around.

Now this is the
filling machine where

the fruit is put into the cups.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
Oh, so that's

how it gets into the
bottom of the cups.

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
That's right.

And here the milk goes in.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
On top of the fruit?

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
On top of the fruit.

The tops of the cups are
covered with clear plastic.

You see that?

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
Oh, that's fun to see.

Yeah.

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
Now, those are the lids

and they go on next.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
Oh, they go

on top of that clear plastic.

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
That's right.

And off they go.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: They do
a lot of traveling, don't they?

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
They certainly do.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
Look at them.

A lot of traveling!

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
Well, in a moment

you'll see where they end up.

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]:
Where are they going now?

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]: Well,
they're going to the packing

machine and that's where
they are right now where

they're put into
a cardboard box.

You see?

MR. ROGERS [VOICEOVER]: Mm-hm.

Do they go off to the
stores from there?

MR. MCFEELY [VOICEOVER]:
Oh, not quite yet.

Before that, they're
taken to a special room

that's very hot inside.

And after several
hours, this worker

checks one or two of the batch
and then all of the yogurt

is cooled and ready to be
sent out to stores everywhere.

-Just like this one.

Very interesting, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, I'm glad you like my
speedy, surprise deliveries.

-I surely do.

-Here I'll get the tape.

-Oh, thanks.

-Oh, and could I give you this?

We've finished with this.

-Already?

I'll take it back.

I'll speedy delivery it.

-It was very helpful
with our make believe.

-I'm glad to be helpful.

I'll see you around
the neighborhood.

-Thanks, Mr. McFeely.

-OK.

Bye bye.

-My best to Mrs. McFeely.

-I'll tell Betsy you said hello.

-Bye.

-Mr. McFeely and his deliveries.

[WHISTLE TONES]

That was very interesting.

There's so many things
to know and to wonder

about in this world.

And there's so many people
who want to show and tell you

all they can, people who want
to help you to learn and to be

brave and strong and
interesting and loving.

That's the best part
of living-- loving.

And I love being with you.

[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's such a good feeling, a
very good feeling, the feeling

you know that I'll be
back, when the week 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
interesting things

to think about and
talk about, don't we?

And you always make
each day a special day.

You know how?

By just your being yourself.

There's only one person, one
person in the whole world

like you, and
that's you yourself.

And people can like
you exactly as you are.

I'll be back next time.

Bye.
