Fans of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood rejoice! Here’s your chance to binge watch every episode of the iconic PBS children’s series.
A.V. Club reports that beginning May 15 at 3 p.m. EST, Amazon’s livestreaming site Twitch will be broadcasting the entire 886-episode run of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.
The marathon is expected to last a whopping 18 days and according to Twitch, “includes many episodes that have only aired once or are unavailable elsewhere online.”
According to TechCrunch, these marathons have been a result of a deal between Twitch and PBS Distribution.
While digging up Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood is a powerful nostalgia-play to draw attention to Twitch, Amazon is also using the marathon to raise money for PBS. There will be a donation button right on the Mister Rogers channel.
“Mister Rogers not only brings a different type of show into the mix, but it is coming at a time when the importance of PBS is very topical,” the site’s Director Of Business Development told TechCrunch.
