“As they [Joan Rivers and Fred Rogers] wind down, Rogers sings...a special rendition of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," by King Friday, who substitutes hilariously pretentious "kingly" lyrics of his own, rowing "ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically; life is but an illusion.”
Maxwell King, The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers

“In a later interview, [Junod] noted of longtime cast members: 'In their way, they were strangely kind of vulnerable folks, too. I mean, they...settled in and had their artistic and creative home there....There was an acceptance of limitation there. It wasn't like they were out there fulfilling their own wild ambitions...It was not that at all. It was like they were there because they had found a home there.”
Maxwell King, The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers

“Academics who've studied Rogers's work often marvel at how young children calm down, pay attention, and learn so much from this television production - and how they remain calm and centered for some time after watching The Neighborhood. Rogers himself put great care into the pacing of the program to help children slow down and steady themselves.”
