Like much of early black and white television, in this early episode of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, at that time spelled as one word Misterogers, there’s lots of freewheeling fun and a fascinating look at the early days of a very creative, playful and imaginative Fred Rogers.
In this episode he sings one of his early unfamiliar songs, “Fences” with a consistent and familiar message: “the world is full of fences, some I do not like- the ones that keep me out and some I do – the kind that keep me safe.”
