[trebor]

Did Fred work in the medical field? Would it be fair to say that many people are grateful to Fred, not just Mary and her family? If he didn't save her life exactly, did he improve her quality of life? Extend her life expectancy? Was he alive at the same time she was?

Also, holding back on other questions and PMing a guess.

[klondike mary]

Did Marybeth benefit from Fred's help immediately? fairly soon.
Did Fred allow Mary not to be killed? No - not that serious. Did Fred save her from a potential threat? NA
Fred was an entertainer, all other professions no or n.r. Food, religion, etc, all n.r.. Did Fred work in the medical field? No. Would it be fair to say that many people would be grateful, not just Mary and her family? Probably, though maybe not all to the same degree. If he didn't save her life, did he improve her quality of life?Yea Extend her life expectency? n.r. Was he alive at the same time she was? Their lives did overlap.
I'm holding back on other questions, and PMing a guess. No, Trebor, Fred is not Frederick Banting, and Marybeth did not have diabetes. FA has been lurkig.

I think US citizens may have an edge in this puzzle. Sorry, Earnest!

[Earnest]

I think US citizens may have an edge in this puzzle. Sorry, Earnest! ---> doh! I'll do my best anyway!

So Fred helped her in general? Can we say he helped her growing? Or maybe overcoming a particular moment of her life? Helped her with homeworks? Helped her using technology? Heloed her interacting eith other children? Helped her with some test? Helped her not disobeing her parents? Helped her parents educating her? Helped Mary not believing in Santa Clous? To do something on her own?

When Fred appeared in Tv, did he mainly: teach something to children? Expose/tell/sing about historical/educating topics? Teaching how to behave? How to read? Giving them an advantage over other children? Interactive show relevant (e.g. Art attack)? Did Fred personificate some relevant charachter? ) Did Fred help her over a period of time (e.g. a year or more)? Or maybe just after she saw him once in TV?

Did Fred appear in a TV show? In its own TV show? For more than 5 minutes? More than an hour? Every day? Every week? In the same day? Relevant? Does Fred dub cartoons? Interview them? Have some relevant interaction with them? Are cartoons parts of his show? Does Fred perform a show that can be considered unique? If so its unicity is given by: the originality of the topic? The original way in which he treated a not original topic (e.g. interaction with cartoons/ rewriting the stories of movies in a "children frinedly" way?)? Or maybe just the fact that he entertained babies so that the parents could leave them a lone for an amount of time being sure?

[trebor]

He entertained mainly Mary, but he appeared on TV? Could you clarify this?

Is he a children’s performer? Fred Rogers? Fred Penner? Is he on assessment Street? A puppeteer? Is he on another TV show? For children? (Assuming present tense, but same questions for past, if necessary.)

Are MB’s parents grateful because Fred teaches MB an important lesson? Develops in her a certain ability? Inspires her? Distracts her so they can get some time to themselves?

[klondike mary]

Can we say he helped her growing? Or maybe overcoming a particular moment of her life? This. Helped her interacting with other children? and this. Helped her with not disobeying her parents? This too. All the rest, no or n.r. The help was mainly psychological.

When Fred appeared on TV, did he teach something to children? Yes. Teach how to behave? Yes. Did Fred personificate some relevant character? No. He appeared as himself. Did Fred help her over a period of time (e.g. a year or more) ? An unspecified period of time, but probably at least a year.

Did Fred appear in a TV show? In his own TV show? Yes to both. It ran every weekday and lasted at least half an hour, to the best of my memory. Cartoons not relevant. You might say his show was unique, and 'children-friendly' and 'safe' as well. All other questions are no or n.r..

He entertained mainly Mary, but he appeared on TV. Can you clarify this? He was enertaining mainly to her, and other children, rather than parents.
Is he a children's entertainer? Fred Rogers? Yes!
Are MB's parents grateful because he teaches her an important lesson? Inspires her? Yes to these. Distracts her? A little bit of this too, perhaps!

[Zanreo]

Did Mary misbehave before? Did he teach her something her parents didn't manage to teach her themselves?

[klondike mary]

Did Mary misbehave before? Yes! Did he teach her something her parents didn't manage to teach her? More like calmed her down so her parents could teach her.

This is mostly solved, so here is the
****************Spoiler******************88
As a small child of about 3 or 4, MaryBeth was hyperactive, and something of a brat and a bully. She terrorized her sister - who was 5 years older! What one might assume to be a perfectly harmless story would set her off on violent action. The only thing that seemed to calm her was watching 'Mr. Roger's Neighborhood." This was after the invention of VCRs, so they taped as many shows as they could and she watched the over and over, all other stimulation being forbidden. Gradually, she improved.
She is now a gentle, mature, grown-up young woman. When her mother saw the documentary about Mr. Rogers, she was moved to tears, as he seemed to be pretty much ths same kind of person off camera as on. She wished she had written to him and told him how he helped MaryBeth, but they just aren't the kind of people who write to celebrities.
