PBS has announced that it is developing an animated spin-off series based on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Presumably Mr. Rogers will be a CGI young wizard and King Friday will be a werewolf voiced by Justin Bieber.

  1. Lady Elaine Fairchilde will still manage to scare the shit out of me, regardless.

      • NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

        Seriously, I was traumatized in my childhood. Between her and Madame, my formative 80s years seem to be a nightmare of big nosed, tranny-esque puppets.

  2. This has nothing to do with anything, except that it was the most ridiculous/amazing/wonderful thing I’ve ever read, and I really feel like I should share it with you guys:

    “Emeril (the crappy short-lived sitcom) came on the air right when a new president of NBC was taking over, and there was just a big shift going on. And then 9/11 happened, and that really pretty much killed it.”

    NEVER FORGET.

  3. Creating spinoffs seems like exactly what the mission of public broadcasting should be.

  4. Hyeah. Last time someone setup a tiger as a role model, it ended up cheating on its supermodel wife with Perkins waitresses.

  5. Ludacris will rap “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?”

  6. The Neighborhood of Make-Believe will be accessed via a mobile app from the Trolley iPhone.

  7. Mr. Rogers’s cardigan will stay a cardigan, because today’s audience will see it as a classy Mad Men homage. However, he will change into a pair of Crocs.

    I really want to make a joke about adding a HIV+ character like in the South Africa version of Sesame Street, but I will refrain so as not to Lower the Discourse.
