[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?

-Hello, neighbor.

I'm glad we're
together again today.

I'd like to play
something with you today.

It's a kind of a game--
a go, stop, go game.

And some of my friends
made a tape for me--

a little tape like this.

It's of music.

And they played the music,
and then they stopped playing,

and then they played it again.

And they said, just
listen to the music.

And whenever we play,
you move around.

And whenever we stop, you stop.

And then when we play again,
you move around again.

So let's just try that.

Let's see if I can work it now.

Whenever the music
plays, we'll move around.

And whenever it
stops, we'll stop.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

It's hard, isn't it?

Did you stop?

[HUMMING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Well, there it is.

Now you get the idea.

So I think I'll try playing
something on the piano for you,

and you do the go, stop, go.

So when I play, you move.

And when I stop playing,
you stop moving.

All right?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Did you stop?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Did you stop?

You know, I have a
friend who doesn't

move many parts of his body.

But he can move his eyes
around really well like this.

So when I play
that game with him,

he moves his eyes
during the music.

[PHONE RINGING]

Like that.

There's the phone.

And when I stop playing, then he
makes his eyes stay real still.

Let's see who this is.

Hello?

Oh, yes.

Hi, how are you, Marilyn?

Good.

Yes, we were doing a go,
stop, go musical game.

It is good exercise.

Yeah.

Sure, if you have time.

I'd be glad to come over there.

All right.

See you in a little while.

That was Marilyn
Barnett, and she wondered

if we'd like to come
over to her school.

She usually comes
here, you know,

but she thought you might
like to see where she works.

She not only teaches
exercise at her school.

She's the principal, too.

So let's just go over to Marilyn
Barnett's neighborhood school.

Come along.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Here we are.

Let's go in.

Hi, Marilyn.

-Hi, Fred.

Glad you could make it.

-I'm glad to be here.

What a beautiful
school you have.

-It is a wonderful school,
and the learning that takes

place-- it's really
great for children.

This way.

-That's the most important
part of a school.

-Yes, it is.

-Oh, what are these?

-These are our fire alarm bells.

-Oh, do you have
fire drills here?

-As a matter of fact, we're
having a fire drill today.

-Uh-huh.

-Yes, but let's catch this
physical education class.

-OK.

-So we can exercise.

-Physical ed.

-Yes.

-Is it in the gym?

-Yes, it is.

-Oh, let's go.

-You know we enjoy exercises.

-We do-- you and I together.

-Come on, Corey.

Pump your feet.

-Hi.

-Hi.

-How are you doing?

-I'm fine, thank you.

-We came at a good time.

You're all warmed up.

-We just finished.

-Great.

I have someone I'd
like you to meet.

Mr. Sauer, this
is Mister Rogers.

-Glad to meet you.

-Glad to meet you.

-These are the first
grade students.

-Hi, glad to meet you.

-Hi.

-Would you like to learn
some new stretches?

STUDENTS: Yes.

-Yes, we would.

-Great.

-Could I join the class?

-Please do.

-OK.

Is it all right if
I stand in here?

-Yes.

-Between you?

-Yes.

-Thank you.

-OK, stretch your arms way
out-- really stretch-- way out.

Good.

Now let's-- follow me--
stretch way out, moving slowly.

Great.

Feel that stretch?

Now back to center, and
stretch the other way--

really stretching.

Good.

Keep those arms straight.

Back to center.

Let's try that again.

Stretch.

Relax those legs.

Don't have your legs real stiff.

That's it.

Now the arms are out.

Legs are still flexed.

We're going to rotate
those shoulders and arms.

Forward two, three, four.

Good job.

Two, three, four.

And front two, three, four.

And back two, three, four.

Look this way.

Good.

That's nice.

And back.

Stretch your arms out.

That's it, Cindy.

Two, three, four.

And back two, three, four.

Good.

Shake out the shoulders,
just a little bit.

Great.

Now let's take
one more exercise.

This is to stretch those
muscles in our neck.

Head's here.

Just follow me.

Roll it forward,
around-- not to the back.

And to the other side, and hold.

That's great.

Other side.

Roll it back.

We're just rolling it
to the front, and hold.

And roll.

And hold.

And roll.

[FIRE ALARM RINGING]

That's our fire drill.

Boys and girls,
you want to line up

for your fire drill-- and quiet.

[FIRE ALARM RINGING]

Alana, line up for
the fire drill.

OK.

-Are you coming?

-No, I'm going to check on
the rest of the classes,

and I'll meet you outside.

-OK.

[FIRE ALARM RINGING]

-Nice job.

Very nice job, boys and girls.

The fire drill is over.

Please ring the bell.

[BELL RINGING]

-Thank you for letting me
be part of this, Marilyn.

-You're welcome.

-I'd like to show
you my office now.

-Oh, I'd like to go and see it.

-Great.

-Yeah.

-Come on.

-OK.

That was a great fire drill.

-Thank you.

We practice our fire
drills every month.

It's important that the students
are able to listen so they can

be safe in case we
have a real fire.

-Safe, yeah.

I noticed you talking on this.

Who all do you talk
with with this thing?

-A number of people.

I may talk to the
cafeteria workers,

to some of my teachers,
to bus drivers,

and anyone in the building.

-Great.

And so you leave it right there?

-That's right.

-Could I see your office?

-Certainly.

This is a desk.

Most offices do have desks.

And a fax machine
and a computer.

-Did you ever think you'd
be a principal of a school?

-You know, I always wanted to
do something with education.

I wasn't sure I'd
be a principal,

but I knew I wanted
to be a teacher.

-You always loved learning
and teaching, did you?

-Yes, since I was a little girl.

I used to play
school all the time.

-You did?

-Yes.

-Oh, I'd love to have
seen you as a little girl

playing school.

-That's right, but
I found out-- now

in my job-- the most
important job of a principal

is really to pull it all
together and make sure

that very good instruction is
taking place in the building.

-Learning.

-That's right.

The students.

-Learning and teaching
together, huh?

-That's right.

-Oh, here's someone.

-Oh, in fact, I have a
teacher-principal conference

coming up right now.

We'll be talking about
teaching and learning.

-Oh, good.

I'm Fred Rogers.

-I'm [INAUDIBLE]

-Glad to meet you, [INAUDIBLE].

-Nice to meet you.

-Well, it's time for me
to get back to my place.

-Thank you so much for coming.

-Thank you.

See you, Marilyn.

Bye.

Glad to meet you.

-You, too.

-Bye.

-Bye.

Hi.

-Have a seat.

-The new assignment
that we were working

on with the critical thinking
and the problem solving.

-Yes.

-Let's go back to my place.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Now that's what schools are
meant to be-- everybody working

together for the children
and their families.

I'm very glad to be one of
Marilyn Barnett's neighbors.

Very glad.

Let's have some make-believe.

I'll just set up the model.

We haven't used the
model for a while.

So there's the castle.

Who lives in the castle?

And the factory.

Who works in the factory?

Trolley there.

The tree.

Who lives in the tree?

Here, Henrietta and X the Owl.

What about the Museum-Go-Round?

This is Lady Elaine's, isn't it?

And the Platypus Mound.

And Daniel's clock.

Now last time we
pretended that there

was a fire in the
Platypus Mound.

Nobody was in there, but there
was a lot of smoke coming out.

And Lady Elaine used
her squirting hose

to help put the fire out.

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]

-Oh, yes.

Everyone seems to be fine.

[CHIMES]

That's for sure.

-Smoke and fire
can be very scary.

-Oh, I agree.

Do you know how it started?

-Oh, it was in the kitchen,
but I know Ana didn't do it.

She's been visiting friends
at their camp the whole week.

-Oh.

Well, I hope these
things will help.

-Oh, what are they?

-They're supplies for
Dr. Bill and Elsie

Jean from every one in Westwood.

-You're really good neighbors.

-When anybody's in trouble,
we try to do what we can.

[TRUMPETS]

-Oh, here comes Daddy.

-Tuesday and neighbor
Aber, I presume.

-Correct, as usual, Daddy.

-King Friday.

-You've heard about
the fire, I'm sure.

-Oh, yes we have, Sire.

-And the splendid
volunteer fire people.

-They put out the fire quickly.

-We put out the fire quickly.

-Oh, yes, you yourself are part
of the volunteer department.

-I am the head of it.

And I am prepared to make
an award presentation.

-Where will you do that, Daddy?

-At the scene of the fire.

-Oh, I was just going
over there myself.

-Be sure that Lady
Elaine Fairchilde will

be there with her
squirting hose.

-I'll do my best, Sire.

-Very good.

Uh, are those supplies
for food for the world?

-Oh, no, King Friday.

They're for the Platypus family
from everyone in Westwood.

-Excellent response.

Good neighbors.

-Thank you, Sire.

-We shall meet at the Platypus
place in four and one half.

-Very good, Sire.

-Farewell.

-Platypus place in
four and a half.

-Daddy loves to present awards.

-I guess he likes to tell
people they've done a good job.

I'd better go tell Lady Elaine.

-I'm going to school.

-You like school, don't you?

-I love school.

-Oh.

-I like to learn stuff.

-I'm proud of you, Tuesday.

-I-P-O-Y.

-Excuse me?

-I-P-O-Y.

-I-P-O-Y?

What does that mean, I-P-O-Y?

-I'm proud of you.

-Hey, thanks.

See you.

-OK, bye.

-Bye bye.

[SINGING] I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

I hope that you're
as proud as I am.

Proud of you.

I-P-O-Y. I hope that you
are proud of you, too.

-You must have heard
about the fire.

-I certainly did.

Congratulations.

-I'm glad I had the
hose and the water.

-Oh, I am, too.

-Where are Dr. Bill
and Elsie Jean?

Do you know?

-They've been staying
with me until we

could get them some supplies.

-You mean, things like this?

-Where did you find these?

-In Westwood.

-Dr. Bill.

EJ.

Come out here.

-Greetings.

-Hello, Elsie Jean.

Hello, Dr. Bill.

How are you doing?

-Wait until you see what
our neighbors from Westwood

brought you.

-We thought that these
supplies might come in handy.

-Oh, they're lovely.

-Oh, my.

Look at the good fruit.

-Everything we need.

Oh, thank you so
much, neighbor Aber.

-You're most certainly welcome.

Could I help you get
resettled over at your home?

-Aye, that would be very nice.

Be wonderful.

-Oh, good.

King Friday wants to see you
all over at the Mound anyway.

-Even me?

-Especially you, Lady Elaine.

-Uh oh.

-But you've been a
wonderful help, Lady Elaine.

-Well, I'm your neighbor, toots.

-Aye.

And you squirted out our
fire and you took us in.

-Let's go on over.

In fact, I see somebody
over there already.

Incidentally, Lady
Elaine, you're

supposed to bring
your squirting hose.

-OK.

See you all there.

-All right.

-Aye.

We'll be there in a minute.

-It looks excellent,
Mayor Maggie.

-We specialize in restoration.

-And I specialize in awards.

Oh, here they come.

-Hi, Mayor Maggie.

-Hello.

-It was you over here.

-Everything looks
lovely, Mayor Maggie.

-Your Westwood neighbors
like to be of help.

-That's for sure.

Should we put the
supplies inside?

-Oh, that'd be great.

Here, I'll help, too.

Oh, look at the fresh fruit.

-Don't these look delicious?

-Uh-huh.

-There you go.

[CLEARING THROAT]

You like onions?

-Ahem.

Ahem.

I say, ahem.

This, of course, is
an awards ceremony.

-Of course.

-Yes, I'm sorry, Your Majesty.

-Certainly, Sire.

-Where is volunteer hose
squirter Fairchilde?

-She said she'd be right--

-Here I am, toots.

Why do you want the hose and me?

-Because you and your squirting
hose are to receive an award.

-An award for what?

-For knowing when to
turn it on, turn it

off, turn it on,
and turn it off.

-Well, that was hard to learn.

-The time has come.

Fanfare, please, and a
surely long one at that.

[TRUMPETS]

-What's he going to do?

-There, ladies and gentlemen.

You see the award.

You may applaud for the award.

-Hooray.

-You mean this is for me?

-And so I, King Friday
the 13th, do hereby

present this go, stop, go
award to Lady Elaine Fairchilde

for her splendid volunteer
efforts in fire control.

May you always squirt
at just the right time.

-Oh.

-Very nice.

-We're proud of
you, Lady Elaine.

-Hey, thanks, all of you.

I never expected I'd get
a go, stop, go award.

[CHIMES]

-There's the Trolley.

I'll go let it know the news.

See you all in a few.

-Very good.

And return for more
of the ceremony

[CHIMES]

-Yes.

King Friday gave a go, stop,
go award to Lady Elaine.

[CHIMES]

You do it, too.

Go, stop, go.

[CHIMES]

That's right.

Everybody needs some
kind of help sometime.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-So King Friday gave
Lady Elaine a go,

stop, go award
because she knows now

when to use her squirting
hose and when not to use it.

Mhm.

She has learned a good lesson.

And a helpful one.

Isn't that wonderful how the
Westwood neighbors and Lady

Elaine helped the
Platypuses get their place

ready to live in again?

They are extra
special neighbors.

Whenever you do something
to help somebody else,

I'm proud of you, too.

[SINGING] I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

I hope that you're
as proud as I am.

Proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

I hope that you are
proud of you, too.

-And I know you
would like some food.

Wouldn't you, fish?

Well, here it is.

Just enough to keep you healthy.

[KNOCKING]

Oh, let's see who's at the door.

It's Mr. McFeely.

-Speedy Delivery to you.

-Thank you, Mr. McFeely.

-I have a surprise for you.

-You always have
the best surprises.

-There it is.

-It's a comb.

-It's a comb.

-Oh, do I need to comb my hair?

-Oh, use it whenever you want.

It's yours to keep.

-Oh, well, thank you very much.

-And this is yours to see.

-"How People Make Combs."

-That's right.

-Oh, I'd like very
much to see that.

I've often wondered
how people made these.

-Well, we can put it in Picture
Picture, and I'll explain it.

All righty?
-Very good.

Let's do that.

-All righty.

Over to Picture Picture
with combs just like this.

There you go.

-Thank you.

Let's take a look at
how people make combs.

MR. MCFEELY: When
people make combs,

they start with plastic pellets.

MISTER ROGERS: Blue
pellets for blue combs.

MR. MCFEELY: That's it.

And these pellets take a speedy
ride up this vacuum hose.

And into this machine
where they're melded.

The melded plastic is
put into a mold like this

to form the combs.

MISTER ROGERS: Lots of combs
in one mold, aren't they?

MR. MCFEELY: Yes, there are.

MISTER ROGERS: You can
almost see them inside there.

MR. MCFEELY: When the
combs have cooled,

this woman takes them
out of the machine.

MISTER ROGERS: Oh,
they're all connected.

Isn't that interesting
to look at?

MR. MCFEELY: It certainly is.

But then she folds them
over, and they snap apart.

MISTER ROGERS: Look at
all those blue combs.

MR. MCFEELY: And
now it's time to put

the finished combs
into packages.

This woman loads the machines
with sheets of clear plastic.

That will make the front
part of the package.

Little suction cups
pull the sheets down

and put them on
the conveyor belt.

And then this woman puts one
comb on each plastic sheet.

You see?

MISTER ROGERS: Mhm.

I wonder if she ever
thinks about all

the people who use those combs.

MR. MCFEELY: There
sure are a lot of them.

And now for the
back of the package.

It's made with white cardboard.

And this part of the machine
presses the front and back

of the package together so
the comb won't fall out.

Up they go onto
the conveyor belt.

They're ready to be
sent out to the stores

where people can buy them.

And that's how
people make combs.

-Thank you for
that, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, you're welcome.

-There's the combs.

-Well, I'll return the tape,
but you may keep the comb.

-Thank you very much.

-Are you still doing
go, stop, go games?

-Oh, yes.

Earlier I was at
the piano playing,

and my neighbor would go.

And then I'd stop, and
my neighbor would stop.

Like that.

Would you like to try something?

-Well, I'll give it a try.

-Sure.
Come long.

-All righty.
You tell me what to do.

-Yes.

Now when I play--

-Mhm.

-Maybe you just make
your hands move somehow.

-All right.

-And then when I
stop, just stop them.

-All right.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, I have an idea.

-What?

-What about the
Speedy Delivery song?

-You mean I'll play it, and--

-And I'll sing it.

And when you stop playing,
I'll stop singing.

-Oh, good.
All right.

-Here we go.

[SINGING] If there's
anything you want.

If there's any-- thing you
need, McFeely's Delivery

brings it to-- to
you here with speed.

Yes, our Speedy Delivery
is a speedy-- delivery.

Speedy Delivery-- to you.

-Speedy Delivery.

-Good for you, Mr. McFeely.

-Well, I have more
deliveries to make

so I'll say Speedy
Delivery to you.

-Thank you, Mr. McFeely.

-All righty.

-What a pleasure
to visit with you.

-I enjoy visiting you.

See you around the neighborhood.

-And thank you again.

-You're welcome.

Bye bye.

-[SINGING] Speedy
Delivery to you.

-We're all growing and
learning every day, aren't we?

And I'm proud of
every good thing

that you want to do for others.

Mhm.

[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 today.

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.

-I'll be back next time.

Bye bye.
