[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 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.

Here we are, together again.

I want to show you something.

I usually bring something
to show you, don't I?

You know what these are?

Have you ever seen one of these?

They're called eye charts.

They help doctors know
more about your eyes.

See this one over
here has a big E?

And this one has a big sailboat?

Well, the doctors ask you, what
can you see on these charts?

Can you see the big one?

Can you see some
of the little ones?

They just want to know
how your eyes are working.

This one's for people who
don't know their letters yet.

And this one, of course,
is filled with letters.

I borrowed these
from my eye doctor.

This is a picture
of my eye doctor.

I wanted you to
see it because he's

going to examine my
eyes in just a minute.

His name is Dr.
Mallinger, and he

said I could bring you
along if you want to watch.

So let's just go to Dr.
Mallinger's office now.

I'll take these charts
back to him, too.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Here's the office.

-Goodbye.

-Bye-bye.

We'll see you next time.

-Sure.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Hi, Sharice.

-Hello, Mr. Rogers.

How are you today?

-Good.

How are you?

-Good.

I'm fine.

Just sign in there, please.

-Oh.

-And if you would
like to have a seat,

I'll go back and see if Dr.
Mallinger is ready for you.

-Good.

Thank you so much.

-You're welcome.

-Sometimes you have to wait a
while, and sometimes you don't.

But if you do have
to wait, you can

read books, or play games, or--

-Mr. Rogers?

-Yes?

-Dr. Mallinger is
ready to see you now.

-Thank you, Sharice.

-You're welcome.

-Dr. Mallinger.

-Fred, how are you?

Nice to see you again.

-Good to see you.

I'd like you to
know my television

neighbor, Dr. Mallinger.

-Hi, neighbor.

-And thanks for
loaning me these.

-You're quite welcome.

I hope they [INAUDIBLE]
Put them right down there.

-Mhm.

-And won't you have
a seat on the chair?

-Sure.

-How've you been?

-Oh, my health is good.

-You're looking very well.

-Yeah.

-Your eyes are OK?

-Seem to be.

-No redness, or
watering, or discomfort?

-No.

As a matter of fact,
I brought my glasses.

I didn't know whether
we'd need them.

-Good.

We'll put them right here.

Fred, we want to see how
your eyes work together.

Would you look at my
pen point, please?

-Mhm.

-And follow it just
with your eyes.

Hold your head still.

Tell me if you see
two at any time.

Hold your head still.

And tell me if there's
any pain or discomfort

when you move it
all the way out.

And tell me now
when you see two.

-Two.

-That's excellent.

Now, I want you to cover
your left eye, please.

And look right at my fingernail.

While you're looking
there, tell me

when you see my other
fingers wiggling.

-Now.

-And here?

-Now.

-We're testing your side
vision, or peripheral vision.

-Now.

-And over here?

-Now.

Oh, I want to watch
those fingers wiggling.

But I need to watch
your nose, don't I?

-That's right.

-Now.

-Good.

Cover the other eye, please.

Now, look at my nose.

-Oh, your nose.

I can see it.

-There you are.

-There they are,
wiggling fingers.

-Good.

Your peripheral
fields are excellent.

Now we want to take a look at
your eyes with a microscope.

And I want you to put
your chin in the chin cup,

and your forehead
right up against there.

It's a bright light, Fred.

But it won't hurt
you in any way.

And you can blink
as much as you like.

-Ooh, that is a bright light.

It's a good light to examine
all the parts of the eye

with a lot of magnification.

And everything looks fine.

-That's a fancy machine.

-Now we want to take a
careful look inside your eye.

And we use this instrument.

-But you had to turn
the room lights out.

-This helps me get a
better view inside the eye

without a lot of
light around me.

-Uh-huh.

-Would you look across
the room, please?

-Now you're looking in my eye.

You can't know what
I'm thinking, can you?

-Oh, no.

Nobody can tell what
you're thinking.

We can only see as far
as the inside of the eye,

and make sure that the blood
vessels, and nerve tissues,

and all the other parts of
the eye are healthy and clear.

-Uh-huh.

-And everything looks just fine.

-What's that little
machine called,

that you have in your hand?

-This is called
an ophthalmoscope.

-Ophthalmoscope.

-And it's a bright light with
a number of different lenses

so we can see in all
parts of your eye.

-I see.

-Now we want to check
your prescription

to see if it's the same.

-This is a big machine.

-It certainly is.

And things will be blurred.

And we use another light
that isn't quite as bright.

I want you to look over
to the chart, Fred,

and don't pay any
attention to the light

that I flash in your eye.

-But this big machine
doesn't hurt at all.

-No, certainly not.

Now we'll do the left eye.

Things are not very
clear now, Fred.

But that should be much better.

MISTER ROGERS: Mhm.

DR. MALLINGER: Keeping
both eyes open,

is it clearer here or here?

MISTER ROGERS: Here.

DR. MALLINGER: That's good.

And now with the left
eye, better here or here?

MISTER ROGERS: Here.

-Everything looks
clear now, Fred.

And the eyes are
working together.

We want to check and see
how the eyes work together.

We have to change the
image on the chart.

You see the letter L?

-I do.

-And now you see two of them.

MISTER ROGERS: Mhm.

DR. MALLINGER: The bottom
one is going to your left.

MISTER ROGERS: Mhm.

DR. MALLINGER: Tell
me when it's directly

underneath the right, top one.

MISTER ROGERS: Right there.

DR. MALLINGER: And
are there two now?

MISTER ROGERS: Yes.

DR. MALLINGER: Tell me when
they are level, please.

MISTER ROGERS: Now.

-Good.

Now we'll test the near vision.

-Lights are back on in the room.

DR. MALLINGER: That
should be much better.

-Oh, it's very clear.

DR. MALLINGER: You can
see these letters here.

MISTER ROGERS: Mhm.

DR. MALLINGER: Tell
me when they blur.

-Now.

DR. MALLINGER: And when
they are clear again.

-Clear again.

-That's excellent.

Your eyes are working
very well together,

and they work well at near.

So we have a good prescription.

And I don't think
there's very much

change at all in your eyes.

You're doing very well.

-So I can use the same
glasses that I've had.

-You can use the same
glasses that you have.

We want to do one more thing.

-OK.

-We want to test the
pressure of your eye,

and we do that with
this instrument.

Tilt your head
back, please, Fred.

This may sting just a bit.

OK, wipe your eye.

-That didn't hurt.

-And put your chin back in the
chin cup, and your forehead

right up against there.

I want you to open your
eye wide, blink once.

This is going to touch your
eye lightly, but it won't hurt.

And just look straight ahead.

All right.

We'll do the other eye.

-That didn't hurt at all.

-Your pressures are right
in the normal range.

That's excellent, Fred.

Well, I'm happy to say that
your eyes are just fine.

They're working well,
you're seeing well,

and they're healthy.

-Good.

-Your prescription
hasn't changed.

You can still use the
glasses that you've had.

-Fine.

-And you can keep those.

-Good.

-Those are wonderful.

And you're doing well.

-Thanks.

Before I go, could
I ask you one thing?

-Certainly.

-I've been noticing
over here all

these different
glasses that you have.

Are these for children?

-No, they're really for adults.

-Oh.
Could I try them on?

DR. MALLINGER: Of course.

They look great.

-All kinds of glasses
in this world.

DR. MALLINGER:
There certainly are.

-Put them back there.

Well, as usual, I'll be back
for my regular appointment.

-Good.

-Thank you so much,
Dr. Mallinger.

-Good to see you.

Thank you, Fred.

Bye.

MISTER ROGERS: Bye.

Bye.

-We'll see you next time.

-All right.

Let's go back to my place.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I'm glad you could be with
me for that eye examination.

I like to show and
tell you about things

that someday you
might do yourself.

Yes, someday you might
have an eye exam,

and you'll be able to
remember what mine was like.

Well, now let's have
some make-believe.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Last time, we
pretended that there

was a big gorilla
in Make-Believe.

Lady Elaine was afraid of
it, because the only gorillas

she had ever seen were
scary ones in movies.

She's determined to
catch the gorilla.

So let's make believe
more about that now.

Ready, Trolley?

[TROLLEY BELL RINGING]

OK, Neighborhood
of Make-Believe.

[TROLLEY BELL RINGING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Hi, Trolley.

-Hi, Trolley.

[TROLLEY BELL RINGING]

-You're really good
at that, Handy.

-There was a time when I
couldn't play well at all.

-Why not?

-Well, I couldn't see
the ball well enough.

-Is that why you
got those glasses?

-That's why.

And they've made
all the difference.

-Good.

How about tossing the
next one to me backwards?

-Really?

-Yes.

-OK.

All right.
Get ready.

On the count of two.

-All right.

-Here it comes, one, two.

-Wow!

Look at that go!

-Where'd it go?

-I don't know, but it went far.

-Well, I guess we'd
better look for it, huh?

-OK.

-OK.

-Let's go.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Let her go, Gorilla!

Let her go!

I'm going to sound the alarm.

[SIREN]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Yes.

OK.

Gorilla alert!

Gorilla alert!

Calling all help!

Gorilla spotted!

Gorilla spotted!

-What's happening, Lady Elaine?

-Oh, I spotted
the gorilla again.

-Where is it?

-Over near the castle.

-We didn't see it over there.

-It caught your ball.

-So that's why we
couldn't find it.

-And it carried
off Lady Aberlin.

-Oh, we'd better check that out.

-You stay here, Tuesday.

I need you to run
gorilla headquarters.

-OK.

You be careful, Handy.

-Oh, I will.

And you be careful, too.

-Now I'm ready to catch it.

Handy, turn that thing off.

-Oh, Lady Elaine,
I'm not sure that--

-This is the way they
do it in the movies.

-Well, we just have to
be careful, that's all.

-OK, see you, Tuesday.

-Oh, what am I supposed to do?

-Just sound the alarm
if you see the gorilla.

-OK.

-OK, let's go.

-OK.

-Wow.

I'm in charge of
gorilla headquarters.

Is this ever neat.

Hm.

This is the button that
makes the alarm work.

I wonder if it really works.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

Oh, boy!

How do I turn it off?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Are you all right, Tuesday?

-Oh, I don't know how
to turn this thing off.

-Does this help?

-Oh, thanks.

-You're welcome.

What are you doing here, anyway?

-Oh, I'm guarding
gorilla headquarters

while Auntie Lady
Elaine and Handy

look for the wild gorilla.

-What do you mean, wild gorilla?

-Well, didn't it hurt you?

-Whatever gave you that idea?

Kevin Wendell, please
come here a minute.

-Oh, I'd better sound
the alarm again.

-But wait 'til you meet him.

Kevin Wendell Gorilla, I'd
like you to meet my cousin,

Prince Tuesday.

-What's he saying?

-"Hello," and "Do you
want to play ball?"

-Well, Auntie Lady Elaine
says that he has the ball.

Hey, you're not
all bad, are you?

-He's not bad at all.

-Well, Auntie Lady
Elaine thinks he is.

-But she doesn't know him.

[TROLLEY BELL RINGING]

Oh, there's the trolley.

I'd better tell it
to spread the news.

-That the gorilla is friendly.

-That's right.

-Want to play ball,
Kevin Wendell?

-See you two later.

-OK, bye.

-Thanks.

Ready?

-And it's very dangerous.

It took Lady Aberlin away.

Lady Aberlin?

-Yes, Handyman.

-But I thought--

-How did it hurt you, toots?

-He didn't hurt me.

-What do you mean?

-I mean Kevin Wendell helped me.

I slipped and fell,
and he picked me up.

-Kevin Wendell?

-Yes, he's playing ball with
Prince Tuesday right now.

-Oh, we'd better look into that.

-I've got my net to bag him.

[TROLLEY BELL RINGING]

Yeah.

-Yes, we'll work it
through, Trolley.

-Mhm.

[TROLLEY BELL RINGING]
-Thanks, Trolley.

-Thanks.
[TROLLEY BELL RINGING]

-OK, Trol.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[TROLLEY BELL RINGING]

-Kevin Wendell Gorilla
does look friendly

once you get to know him.

But Lady Elaine and Handyman
Negri don't know him yet.

So he just looks like a
fierce animal to them.

Yep.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Some food for you, fish.

You hungry?

Did you see how Kevin Wendell
looked when everybody ran away

from him, and wouldn't
play with him?

Sort of looked like this.

Did you ever feel sad like that?

I think everyone does sometimes.

Well, no matter how you feel, I
still feel that we're friends.

[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 toys,

they're just beside you.

But 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.

-You and I together.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Somebody at the door.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

It's our friend Mr. McFeely.

Come in, Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy delivery.

Speedy delivery.

Well, I found the tape
you wanted to see.

-"How People Make
Eyeglass Lenses."

Oh, thank you very much.

Do you have time to
watch it with me?

-I do.

We'll see it on Picture Picture.

-Very good.

-All righty.

-Ooh, I wanted to see this.

You know, I went
to the eye doctor

today for an examination.

That's very interesting.

-Oh, but before we begin, I want
to show you something in here.

-Oh, what?

-That's an eyeglass lens.

-What is this?

I mean, it's a
huge one, isn't it?

-Well, that's what it
looks like before they're

made into different
shapes and sizes.

-Oh, you mean they
all look like this?

-All look like that.

-Even the ones that--

-That's right.

That I have.

Well, as we watch the
tape, I'll explain it

all to you, all righty?

-Yeah, surely.

-There you go.

-Hm.

That's very interesting.

So "How People Make
Eyeglass Lenses."

Let's put it in Picture Picture.

You'll tell us about it.

-All about it.

MR. MCFEELY: When people
make eyeglass lenses,

they start by putting the
empty frames in this machine.

MISTER ROGERS: What
does the machine do?

MR. MCFEELY: Well, it
traces around the frames

to get just the right
shape for the lenses.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh.

MR. MCFEELY: Now, there's the
shape on the computer screen.

MISTER ROGERS: I see.

MR. MCFEELY: Now, this machine
cuts these plastic cards

into just the right shape.

It makes a pattern.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh, I see it
cutting away the extra plastic.

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

And there's the pattern.

MISTER ROGERS: And
it's the same shape

as the frames of the glasses.

MR. MCFEELY: That's right.

This man attaches
a piece of metal

to the big lenses like
the one we have here.

MISTER ROGERS: Mhm.

Why does he do that?

MR. MCFEELY: Well, you'll see.

It's a handle he puts
on so the lens will stay

in place on the shaping machine.

You'll see that next.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh.

MR. MCFEELY: The plastic pattern
goes on the machine first.

Then this man puts on the lens.

And then he starts the machine.

Little by little, the machine
cuts away the edge of the lens

and shapes it.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

The machine and
the plastic pattern

work together to make the lens
just the right size and shape.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

It's almost finished.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MISTER ROGERS:
What's he doing now?

MR. MCFEELY: Well, he puts
the lens in the frames,

and checks to make sure it
will fit just the way it's

supposed to fit.

Now it's time to
shape the second lens.

In the machine it goes, and the
same thing will happen again.

MISTER ROGERS: I
see the pattern.

And now, there's the
lens right behind it.

MR. MCFEELY: Mhm.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MISTER ROGERS: Then
he'll check it, right?

MR. MCFEELY: Right you are.

He'll also take off
those metal handles.

Now, this woman's job is to
put the lenses into the frames.

In goes one lens, then
she screws in a tiny screw

with a little
screwdriver, and that

will help hold the
lens in the frames.

MISTER ROGERS: I see.

And will she do the same
thing with the second lens?

MR. MCFEELY: She will.

And now this pair of glasses
is ready for someone to wear.

-I'm really glad to see how
people make lenses like these.

-Me, too.

We have different glasses,
yet we're good friends.

-That's for sure.

-Well, I have more
deliveries to do.

So I'll say, "Speedy delivery."

I'll take the tape
back on my way.

-Thank you very
much, Mr. McFeely.

You're always finding things
that we like and need to see.

-Remember,

[SINGING] 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 deliveries,
our speedy deliveries,

speedy delivery to you.

Well, I'll say speedy delivery.

And I'll see you around
the neighborhood.

-All right, Mr. McFeely.

Thanks again.

-You're quite welcome.

Bye-bye.

-Bye.

Best to your family.

[SINGING] Delivery,
speedy delivery to you.

Do you know anyone who
wears glasses to see better?

I have a lot of friends who do.

There are so many ways of
helping people in this world,

aren't there?

I trust that you're
finding your ways.

Because the best
way of being happy

is helping somebody else to be.

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.

-Don't we have a lot to talk
about, and a lot of good things

to do together?

Yeah.

That's what friends are
for-- being together, talking

together, thinking
together, loving together.

I'll be back next time.

Bye-bye.
