A skimpy "Mister Rogers"-inspired Halloween costume has gotten a stamp of approval from the TV icon’s own family — sort of.

John Rogers, the son of the late Fred Rogers, recently told TMZ that he doesn’t really understand how his father’s career could have inspired the sexy costume but admitted that Rogers would have at least found it funny.

He did, however, call the outfit — which comprises of a cropped cardigan-style top, a pair of gray hot pants, and a collar and necktie — both “silly” and “ridiculous,” according to TMZ.
