Mr. Dressup was a Canadian children’s show similar to Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. In fact, Ernie Coombs (who was Mr. Dressup) and Fred Rogers started together in Pittsburgh, then worked in Toronto for a year. Fred Rogers went back to the States to start his Neighborhood while Ernie Coombs stayed to create the character of Mr. Dressup for a show called “Butternut Square”. After that show ended Mr. Dressup had his own show for 29 years.
