the biggest comeback since britney spears.

So who is making the biggest comeback since Britney Spears bounced back from a shaved head and a serious mental breakdown?

Mister Rogers!

That's right! Our favorite sweater-wearing, creator of the Land of Make Believe wants you to be his neighbor, AGAIN!

However, this time, it's not our beloved Mister Rogers who will be taking off his jacket and shoes to welcome us. No, Mister Rogers is being reincarnated as Daniel Tiger!

Many of you will remember Daniel Striped Tiger as one of the main characters of the show; the one Mister Rogers was always teaching life lessons to. And as you can see, Daniel Tiger is getting a new look as a completely animated series. (But don't worry, there will still be plenty of multi-colored sweaters!)

Although it has been a decade since the original series stopped producing new episodes and eight years since the death of the beloved Fred Rogers, PBS has continued to pursue the show's revamping, which will now be called Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood.

The Chief Operating Office and Executive Producer of the show, Kevin Morrison, stated that this project has been in the works for years, but since Rogers’ death in 2003, his Pittsburgh-based company “wanted his legacy to endure”.

"We weren't going to find someone like Fred Rogers and stick a sweater on him, but the company wanted very much to remain in public television as a producer for children,” he explained.

Still geared towards preschoolers, the newly animated series will feature common themes as the original show, such as patience and disappointment. Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood is due out in late 2012.
