Misterogers (CBC, 3/10/1964)

Network: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Air Date: March 10, 1964

Inspired by the crown of candy given to King Friday XIII by the sultan yesterday, Mister Rogers is pretending to make fudge. As he stirs the pot on the small stove, he sings What Would You Like To Do Today.

In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Mrs. Farmer has been attending to King Friday who is not feeling well. Edgar Cooke is concerned that King Friday will not be well for his "special day" coming on Friday. Mrs. Farmer goes in search of Dr. Frogg to seek his medical advice. Stopping at the clock, she sings Where Did You Go, Dear Doctor with Daniel Striped Tiger.

At the oak tree, X the Owl offers his help by using his telescope in attempt to locate Dr. Frogg. Although X is able to confirm that Dr. Frogg is not on the moon or on the sun, Mrs. Farmer is feeling defeated. To brighten her mood, X sings Smile in Your Pocket.

Before long, Mrs. Farmer recieves a call from Edgar that Dr. Frogg is at the castle. Once she arrives, she learns that King Friday has eaten a whole crown full of candy. Mrs. Farmer is asked to contact Captain Blye to request he pick up a prescription from Medicine Land for the king.

Back at the house, Mister Rogers shares his own concern for King Friday and second guesses the fudge he has been making. Encouraging viewers to sing along, he closes with Tomorrow.

Notes

The shadow of a boom microphone can be seen on the wall just over two minutes into this episode.

The stove Mister Rogers uses to "make fudge" is a mid-century Wolverine toy stove.

The number of the prescription to be picked up by Captain Blye is GP67802439151934. The number could be longer but this is all that can be heard as the episode transitions back to Mister Rogers.
