Thanks to Mark Buzzitta, we can now share the complete as-produced “Springtime with Mister Rogers” special as it was seen in 1979. The special opens with Mister Rogers walking down the city, greeting his neighbors. When he arrives at his house, Mister Rogers is told that Betty Aberlin’s Little Theater has a leak in its roof. Everyone in the neighborhood starts to find a way to raise money, Mister Rogers even refinishes a cabinet he plans to donate. Eventually, the neighborhood decides to make a special musical springtime show for the event. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Lady Elaine is sad that she can’t become a princess, and eventually fantasizes about being a princess. With Bob Keeshan (Captain Kangroo).
