Yeah I watched Mister Rogers as a kid in the early 80's when there wasn't a lot of children's television programming besides cartoons on broadcast channels. It still felt relevant with like Sesame Street and other pbs shows. I wonder how it held up once cable came out and Nickelodeon started reinventing children's television. My niblings enjoyed Daniel Tiger and it felt like a pretty good spiritual successor, but with youtube and everything going , I can't imagine they would've cared too much for Roger's style.
I was a kid in the nineties and Mr. Rogers bored the hell out of me but I thought Sesame Street was awesome.
Sesame Street managed to stay fresh by changing with the times. For example, I'm guessing Elmo was much more prominent during the period you watched, whereas they were just a background character during my years.
Currently Elmo is engaged in a death struggle with ~~kermit~~ Dr. Peterson so they have my support.
