In this episode, Fred Rogers introduces his viewers to his "Mister Rogers Neighborhood" web site, which is still active and looks much the same more than a decade later.
In all past programs, the song for Henrietta Pussycat opened with the lyrics "You are pretty/You are black" (See Quotes). But in this, the last time anyone performs the song, Mayor Maggie tried to be more politically correct. She told Henrietta, "You are gray."
The original lyrics of the song for Henrietta Pussycat are as follows:
You are pretty
You are black
You are beautifully dressed
In lovely fur
Finely curled
Perfectly, you are pretty
Elegant, you are black.
This was the only time in the modern series that Fred Rogers ran a "Funny Fast Film" on Picture-Picture. Of course, this sped-up film of Mr. McFeely mowing a lawn, was shot a long time ago.
