Filmed and produced in Pittsburgh, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood is considered a classic of U.S. children’s television. In each episode, Mister Rogers talked with and learned from his (sometimes celebrity) neighbors before taking viewers on a Trolley ride into the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, where hand puppets like Daniel Tiger and X the Owl sang, explored, and learned together. Through stories, songs, conversations, and educational video segments, the show invited children to learn about the world around them as well as the complex universes inside themselves.
