Obviously, pretty much every episode of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood was a good one. For generations, Fred Rogers was a beloved presence in the lives of countless families, and a steady one at that. Unlike with so many long running TV shows, there was never a point when viewers started to feel disappointed with the quality of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. But is there one episode that’s better than all the others?
Of course, that depends on who you’re asking. Over on IMDb, however, there is one episode with a higher rating than all the rest, and it just happens to be the very last episode of the series.
First of all, it’s worth pointing out that the vast majority of the hundreds of episodes of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood on IMDB have very high ratings; you can scroll for miles before you find anything with less than 8 stars.
The highest-rated episode, with a 9.5 star rating, is the fifth installment of Season 31: “Mister Rogers Celebrates the Arts,” which ran on Aug. 31, 2001.
What is the episode about? According to the description on The Neighborhood Archive, it opens with Mister Rogers showing viewers drawings of the Trolley “made by some young Neighbors.”
“Sharing the drawings, he notices the differences between each artist’s work — even though they were all drawing the same thing. After he talks about sharing creations with other people you care about, Mister Rogers thinks of many people showing love in different ways.”
Next, Mr. McFeely shows up with a video compilation about different artists, which they watch on Picture-Picture. Meanwhile, in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, the arts festival is about to begin, but nobody can find Lady Elaine. Finally, she shows up with a portrait of all her Neighbors, then gives first prizes to all of the entries.
The episode ended with the perfect final message: Mister Rogers singing “I’m Proud of You.” But before the song, he shared some very important thoughts:
“There are many ways of saying who you are and how you feel,” he said. “Ways that can be so helpful. Ways that don’t hurt yourself or anybody else. You know, that’s how you can tell when you’re grown up inside.”
“You’re sure that what you’re planning and doing are things that can be a real help to you and your neighbor,” he added. “I’m proud of you, you know that? I hope you do.”
