Mister Rogers' Neighborhood

Mister Rogers reveals to his television friends that when he was younger, he called his father's parents "Grandmother Rogers and Grandad Rogers" and his mother's parents "Nanna and Ding-Dong."

The credits list Betty Aberlin as a neighbor, even though she did not appear.

Descriptive Video Service blew the call during the credits, saying this was "Program number 1351" when its production code was 1531.

All this talk about a surplus of 3,000 in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe budget sounds strange, since in the previous week, they'd blown their budget on bomb parts.

In a gesture highly unusual for public television, Rogers concludes this episode with the text of Isaiah 2:4 appearing before the credits roll. It reads: "And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning forks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war any more."

The marble film shown is made in association with the company Marble King, out of Paden, West Virginia. It is the same film show in episode 1750, "When Things Get Broken."
