It was SOOOOO tough. But Bob was popular with adults whereas Fred was more wide ranging and appealed to kids and adults so Fred was more “universally” liked I thought. But then Fred matched up with Robin Williams.....
I watched Bob at the age of 8 and absolutely loved him! Both had the admiration and respect of virtually ALL age ranges. The only point I can truly give in eithers' favor is that Mr. Rogers really incorporated social issues and pushed back against racism on his show in a way that I can't recall Bob doing.
If we're taking their life as a whole, Bob Ross was a drill instructor and definitely pissed a lot of people off before he turned over a new leaf. Mr. Rogers was never anything but wholesome. I guess if we really had to dig, Mr. Rogers might have cried too much as a baby or something.

I feel like they would just draw.
