You've got a bit of a wait in store, but PBS announced yesterday that a new show is coming your way inspired by Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood will hit in Fall 2012, with a focus on preparing kids for school success. There obviously isn't a whole lot of info on the show, but it already sounds very cool. It's the next generation in the neighborhood of make-believe, and the titular Daniel Tiger is the son of the one you met with Mr. Rogers.
I certainly have high hopes, and if recent PBS Kids launches are any indication, this one should live up to the unavoidable expectations of anything bearing the Mister Rogers name. Check out the full release below.
