It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood - especially this week!

In honor of the 50th anniversary of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood - the beloved show premiered back in February 1968 - PBS Kids will air back-to-back episodes of Mister Rogers and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood all week long. For anyone born a little too early to have experienced Daniel Tiger, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood was created by the Fred Rogers Company in 2012 as a spinoff of Mister Roger's Neighborhood. Just like Mister Rogers, it's aimed at preschool children and centers around a young tiger, the son of Daniel Striped Tiger, and his friend in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

Every day, PBS will show episodes of each show that explore similar themes.

  • February 26: Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood “Daniel’s Fish Dies/Daniel’s Strawberry Seeds” (NEW) and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood “Death of a Goldfish”

  • February 27: Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood “The Tiger Family Grows/Daniel Learns About Being a Big Brother” and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood “Families”

  • February 28: Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood “Visiting Grandpere/The Tiger Family Goes Home” and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood “Grandparents”

  • March 1: Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood “Friends Help Each Other/Daniel Helps O Tell a Story” and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood “Friends”

  • March 2: Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood “Daniel Gets Mad/Katerina Gets Mad” and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood “Mad Feelings”

Better check your local PBS listings for exact times, because parents, you'll actually want to tune in this week (or set up your DVR!) for the nostalgia factor. Either way, it's a great excuse to introduce your little ones to a legend, plus some of his pals in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe.
