Forty years ago today, this episode of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood aired for the first time. Thank you, PBS, for bringing us Fred's beautiful vision for a world of kindness and creativity. Three generations of my family grew up on PBS — let’s make sure it’s there for many generations to come. | Yo-Yo Ma

On this day in 2001, the final episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood aired, after nearly 35 years on the air. Towards the end of the show, Mister Rogers reminded his television neighbors that he was proud of all of them. #MisterRogers50 | Fred Rogers Productions
