Fred Rogers was an extraordinary man [1] who had the gift of touching hearts through television screens across the country. Though most of his program viewers are all grown up now, we can still be comforted by Mister Rogers whenever we'd like. In addition to airing back-to-back episodes [2] of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood all week long, PBS is also releasing a special DVD set to celebrate the show's 50th anniversary.

Mister Rogers' Neighborhood: It's a Beautiful Day Collection [3] ($20) will feature 32 classic episodes from 1979 to 2001, as well as the series premiere episode in original black and white! You might want to cancel all your weekend plans, as the four-disc set includes over 15 hours of happiness.

If you can't wait until March 27 to start watching, the entire collection is also available now to download [4]. See below for the full episode list, which is already enough to induce tears.
