While I love the Walk of Fame card, this one doesn't do much for me. Aside from the fact that Mister Rogers Neighborhood has been pigeon-holed into the 1980's, the text on the back side of the card includes two typos/grammatical errors.
(For those who I know will ask, the first is the fact that the closing quote found in the name heading should be outside the first 'Rogers' or the second 'Rogers' should be removed altogether as it is on the Walk of Fame card. Secondly, there should be no apostrophe on the word viewers.)
What really gets me is the selection of Neighborhood of Make-Believe characters that were chosen to represent that portion of the show -- King Friday (fine), Henrietta Pussycat (hmm...okay), and Anna Platypus (really?!). There are definitely much more recognizable characters than Anna Platypus. Daniel Striped Tiger? Even Lady Elaine Fairchilde.
Whatever. Poorly done or not, it's still nice to see Mister Rogers included in this set of pop culture cards.

I agree- so glad he was included. I agree on the random choice of characters- that jumped out at me, too! Makes you wonder if they just looked up Mister Rogers on wikipedia :) Or, maybe the person who wrote it was a big fan of the Platypus family!!
