Oh wait, no, that was someone else. He actually does get credit, in this totally unsubstantiated article, for "saving both public television and the VCR." 

The article lists 15 reasons why Mr. Rogers is the best neighbor ever. Although I have to take pause at #13: "Michael Keaton got his start on the show as an assistant– helping puppeteer and operate the trolley." That's some career arc, Mr. Keaton. From helper puppeteer to... Beetlejuice to... whatever you do now. Go on with your bad self. Seriously the last 10 movies he's been in were either animated, or they were "First Daughter", so he is not doing so well these days.
