Mr. Dressup star Ernie Coombs forged a friendship with Fred Rogers over the shared belief that children were important, and that kids’ television could be a force for good, says the director of a new documentary film about Coombs.

Wow, amazing that Mr. Dressup had a similar show on TV in Canada for nearly 30 years and this is the first time I’ve heard of him.

The man is truly one of Canada’s greats. His work influenced/spanned 3 generations.

Basically changing Canada through its children.

Fred Rogers is another, truly.
