Agreed?

That's what everybody I know calls it. So yeah.

The name wasn't bad, Mr. Rodgers would have been simpler. I think since it wasn't ultimately about him, he wasn't the main character, the name was the right choice.

It is about him, his affect on others.

You mean the effect he had on his neighbors?
I prefer the original title.

Those are two different topics. He was practically a tertiary character.
