for what its worth, I think they do a good job with Daniel Tiger to continue his legacy. My kids love it (maybe because its the only thing i'll let them watch), and it has taught me a few things on how my kids are going to react to certain situations.

Agreed. Daniel Tiger is as much for me as it is for my son. It seems like they have handy little songs for many toddler challenges. We still sing the "flush and wash and be on your way" song, as well as "take a deep breath".

It's a very different format from Mr Roger's, but maybe it has to be in order to be relevant to the ages.

"Do you need to go potty? Maybe yes, maybe no; why don't you sit and try to go?" has been immensely helpful. There's a Daniel Tiger song for every situation!

Daniel Tiger is great, and we like it because we can watch the same episode in a few different languages (namely Swedish, German and Spanish)

It's also taught me how to handle myself in certain situations as well.

I've heard of that one! A friend watches that when she babysits her (much) younger sisters and she said she really likes it for them.

Incidentally she didn't know that Daniel Tiger was from Mr Rogers until we saw the biography together. (She never watched Mr Rogers's Neighborhood when she was younger, and had only heard of him through pop culture.)
