It's You I Like | Mister Rogers | PBS Video
Wow.
As a 10-year-old boy, Erlanger visited “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” and articulately chatted about why he used an electric wheelchair. The two sang “It’s You I Like,” and the TV host changed the lyrics slightly to say it wasn’t Jeff’s “fancy chair” he liked — but the boy occupying it. The impromptu rewrite made Jeff smile in a display of spontaneous delight. It’s no wonder Hedda Sharapan, associate producer of the show, calls it the “treasured moment,” the one everyone remembers. In 1999, when Rogers was ushered into the TV Academy Hall of Fame, a surprise guest introduced him in Hollywood. It was Erlanger, and when Rogers saw him, he bounded to the stage in yet another moment of instinctive joy. It was a testament to the bond forged long ago and nurtured out of the limelight of cameras.
