Mister Rogers' Neighborhood — Season 22

Mister Rogers arrives with a toy dump truck which he takes to the floor and demonstrates by filling the back with wooden blocks. After Mister Rogers uses the blocks to build a small bridge, he sings You've Got To Do It. Mr. McFeely arrives with a portrait of Mrs. McFeely drawn by Bob Trow and invites Mister Rogers to the Neighborhood art center where Mr. Trow is working on a portrait of Mr. McFeely.

Rogers tells a story about a boy who painted a tree blue and how his feelings were hurt. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Daniel submits a painting of a blue King Friday.

The school at Someplace Else is ready to stage their field trip through the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. But a major stumbling block emerges when James Michael Jones shows off his learning machine on his head. Rogers talks to blind jazz saxophonist Eric Kloss at the neighborhood library.

Rogers displays a variety of batteries, ready to put them to work in two toys and a cassette player. Mister McFeely then shows Rogers a battery-operated car. While the Neighborhood of Make-Believe remains undecided if there will be a field trip, Daniel suggests not to sacrifice anything in the learning process.
