Season 15 Episode 35 | 2m 42s

Mister Rogers introduces a special day in the Neighborhood. It's time for the "A Granddad for Daniel" opera. In the opening scene we see Daniel and his parents, Betty Aberlin the Trolley conductor, and his father played by Chuck Aber, who polishes things in the jungle where they live. It's "Grandparents Day" and Daniel is hoping he will find his granddad so he, too, can celebrate.
