Hi, television neighbors -- it's time to dust off your cardigan and grab your blue sneakers, because。 Mister Rogers' Neighborhood 。 is coming back to our screens. 。
Live streaming service Twitch is hosting a free, 18-day marathon of the classic children's series, which will span 886 episodes -- many of which have only aired once and can't be seen anywhere else. 。
The marathon kicks off on May 15 at 12 p.m. PT, starting with Fred Rogers' famous Senate testimony about the value of public television, which marked its 48th anniversary earlier this month. Every episode, dating from the show’s premiere, will stream consecutively throughout the month of May until June 3, with additional mini-marathons in the following weeks. 。
