From Mister Rogers to ‘Mrs. Maisel,’ gift ideas for TV fans of all stripes

Whichever series the TV fan in your life can’t stop talking about, there’s probably a product tie-in gift out there, including from:

“Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood:” Fred Rogers may not have been a fan of commercializing his PBS children’s show, but adults who grew up on that program continue to want to show their love for the gentle-voiced host by purchasing Mister Rogers merch.

Local clothing purveyor Steel City has new items, including a “Hi Neighbor” long-sleeve crew neck shirt ($52) and a T-shirt version ($32). There’s a “You Are Special” T-shirt ($32) as well as an “If It’s Mentionable, It’s Manageable” camp flag ($50) available online and/or in-store at 625 Smithfield Street, Downtown.

Elsewhere, there’s a Mister Rogers jigsaw puzzle book featuring nine puzzles (96 pieces each) with each one focused on a lesson or wisdom from Rogers ($11 at Amazon.com).

“Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood:” Steel City offers a Daniel Tiger toddler beanie ($18) — think of it as an “ugga mugga” for the noggin — while Amazon will be the exclusive seller of a Daniel Tiger Back-to-School stuffy ($25) that features music, sounds and phrases from the hit animated PBS Kids series (the item is not yet available on the site).

“Star Wars: The Mandalorian:” Grogu (AKA “Baby Yoda”) may have flown off with a famous Jedi and the series is on an extended hiatus, but that doesn’t mean fans aren’t still interested in the little green guy. So why not get the Mando aficionado in your life a magnetic shoulder mini-plush of The Child (yet another name for Baby Yoda)? Grogu comes with a magnetic fabric disc that goes under the shirt, allowing the wearer to place Baby Yoda on their shoulder ($20 at ShopDisney.com).

“Sex and the City:” In anticipation of HBO Max’s sequel series, “And Just Like That…” (streaming Dec. 9 on HBO Max), relive the original, Samantha (Kim Cattrall)-inclusive “Sex and the City” with the new Blu-ray box set ($180 retail; but often discounted to around $120) that includes the complete series and two follow-up movies.

“The Honeymooners:” Fans of classic TV comedy may be intrigued by “The Honeymooners Specials: A Christmas Carol” ($15 on DVD), a 1977 special starring Jackie Gleason, Audrey Meadows, Art Carney and Jane Kean, who reunited for the second of four hour-long specials, the final performances of their classic “Honeymooners” characters. Available at Amazon.com.

“Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda:” The Investigation Discovery star, who grew up in Herminie near Irwin before attending the University of Pittsburgh, authored “Killer Triggers: Murder Comes Down to Sex, Drugs or Money” ($27 at bookstores and on Amazon) where he offers his memories of cases he investigated or oversaw for the Colorado Springs police department.

“The Golden Girls”/“The Mary Tyler Moore Show:” The new hardcover coffee table book “Betty White: 100 Remarkable Moments in an Extraordinary Life” ($35) by Ray Richmond, available Dec. 7, includes a foreword by Gavin MacLeod, written before his recent death. MacLeod, who co-starred with White on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” salutes the “Golden Girls” star, who approaches her 100th birthday on Jan. 17, for her optimistic attitude toward life.

“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel:” Fans of Amazon’s Prime Video comedy-drama have long-admired the show’s period touches, including costumes that are chronicled in “Madly Marvelous: The Costumes of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” ($50) by Donna Zakowska, the show’s award-winning costume designer.
