The opening title card

Status: Partially Found

Mr. Roger (not to be confused with Mister Rogers' Neighborhood) was a 1986 series of animated shorts about a man who always tried to catch a ride on the subway, but some silly obstacle would prevent him from reaching his destination.

These 20-second shorts were produced by Belokapi, Cofimage 7, and Initial Groupe in 1986 and commonly aired on The Children's Channel in the UK and parts of Europe, as well as on CBC in Canada.

Although 100 episodes are said to have been produced, only a few of the shorts have resurfaced online, and barely any information can be found on the series at all.
