Mr. McFeely is the primary employee of the Speedy Delivery Service. He is the husband of Mrs. Betsy McFeely and the grandfather of Chrissy and Terri Thompson. Mr. McFeely has followed in the footsteps of his father who was also a speedy deliveryman.[0110]
Early on, he was in a constant hurry as he made his deliveries throughout the Neighborhood; however, in later years Mr. McFeely become more patient. His deliveries around the Neighborhood vary but he often stops by to visit Mister Rogers with a film which he even narrates on occasion. Typically on foot, Mr. McFeely sometimes uses a tricycle,[1596] a small battery-operated car[1655], the Speedy Delivery car[1679], and even a kayak[1025] to make his deliveries.
Mr. McFeely has similar responsibilities in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe where he also serves as the speedy delivery man.
Operas and Plays
Mr. McFeely appeared as himself in the Neighborhood opera All in the Laundry.
Mr. McFeely's Name and Background
According to some sources, Mr. McFeely's original name was to be Mr. McCurdy. Fred Rogers had named him after the man who was the show's benefactor at the time. This idea was not liked by the Sears-Roebuck Foundation so the name was changed to Mr. McFeely -- named for the grandfather of Fred Rogers.
Mr. McFeely's first name is mentioned several times throughout the run of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood including Episode 1433. His middle name -- Alex -- is mentioned in Episode 0057.
