Friendly Giant...

for those who remember this program; indeed were raised on it, a question. What were your impressions?

As a child I loved the little furniture but I did think the puppet 'Rusty' the chicken in the bag was a cheap, store bought afterthought. Budget cuts? I mean the giraffe was so well crafted.

It was relaxing though and I loved all the Recorder music.

 

"Although each 15-minute episode varied in terms of specific content, Homme was committed to creating a consistently warm, relaxed and peaceful viewing experience for children."

... thanks for reminding about that classic show, flutterby. it went hand in hand with sesame street to me ...

 

Traditionally poultry were kept in cloth bags, alive, in the kitchen until it was time to cut off their heads and bleed them for food.

 

I did like the show......

 

... of course there was mr. dressup too, also a canadian production ...

 

I watched it when I was young. It was with this show that I learned how to recite the alphabet from Z to A. You can sing the alphabet with the melody from the theme song. I learned how to do it forwards and backwards with this theme song.
