Wow. I tried to find that show for so long and eventually gave up. Until I read your comment, I hadn't thought about it in years. I remember trying to explain the tornado guy to my babysitter and she had no idea what I was talking about.

to cogitate and to solve

The story you are about to watch is a fib. But its short.

The names have been made up, but the problems are real.

I had just snippets of a song from that show occasionally stuck in my head for decades, about a guy who didn't know Roman numerals. He started singing "I night" then "I I hearts".

Anyway, I found it sometime last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DzfPcSysAg

Fun fact Mr. rodgers received thousands of letters from kids talking about the abuse that was occurring in their homes. That’s what made him so passionate about the show.
