Okay. I promise. This is it. Barring some sort of major breakthrough, I'll drop the obsession with Mr. Allmine after this post. I just wanted to pass along some specific details I was given regarding Bert Lloyd's appearances on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood as Mr. Allmine.A few days ago I received an email from a reader who has a firm grasp on the history of the Neighborhood and I was provided the following facts regarding Mr. Allmine:
* First appeared in 1974 on episode 1336. These are the episodes which have been mentioned where Daniel's clock goes missing at the hands of Mr. Allmine.
* Mr. Allmine returns in 1975 on episode 1413. In this episode, Bert Lloyd appears outside the Neighborhood of Make-Believe as he joins Johnny Costa at Francois Clemmons' music studio.
* Appearances continue through episode 1415 as Mr. Allmine is reformed and no longer takes things. On episode 1414, he even sings a song about this very topic -- "Some things belong to you. Some things belong to me."
* Another appearance on episode 1424 at Betty Aberlin's Little Theater Game Show.
* Mr. Allmine, as previously mentioned, appears on episode 1425 in the Key to Otherland opera.
* Mr. Allmine's final appearance comes on episode 1443 when Mr. McFeely goes to the Land of Allmine to find a rainbow.
By my count, I come up with seven episodes that Mr. Allmine appeared in but the source providing this information suggests that there were a total of ten. Either way, I am grateful for the details on Mr. Allmine as I lay this temorary obsession to rest.
At least for now.

Hi Tim - You count 1336-1340 as 5 episodes. 1413-1415 as 3 episodes. 1424-1425 as 2 episodes + 1443 which makes it a grand total of 11 programs Mr. All mine was in. On opera 1425 he was Bert Lloyd Bettys brother. These episodes with Mr. Allmine would be neat to see again after all these yrs. Lets keep out fingers cross for online streams from this era to appear!
