It was on this series that Rogers made his on-camera debut as the program's host.

Mr. Rogers was a great show, he taught kids about many things without talking down to them like most kids shows did. Mr. Rogers acknowledged that the kids watching his show were intelligent and inquisitive.
I liked it when he would visit various places and showed how things were made.
