    I can’t believe I’m watching this after so many years....I watched this all the time when I was little. I’m getting teary eyed watching this 🥺

    Delightful, innocent, relaxing, enriching children's show -- no agenda, no propaganda! Oh, for a return to innocence...

    This sure brings back memories. Growing up in Canada in the 70s. This and Mr Dress Up were on daily.

    My dad used to watch this when he was little and he told me about this show...I loved it so much I learned how to play the songs on the recorder! I’m so upset I wasn’t born in this generation.

    The Friendly Giant is the best TV show ever. I've talked to dozens of harpists across Canada and they all tell me the same thing... that Early One Morning is always their most-requested song. And that's simply because, for kids from 9 to 90, it's "The Friendly Giant Song."

  • @johnmanno2052
    @johnmanno2052 2 года назад +32

    This was the show that inspired me to be a harpist. Not this particular episode, I remember it from its black and white incarnation from the 60s, but it was good ol' Rusty with his miniature gold harp that impressed itself on my 5 year old brain

  • @spacemansabs

    I just watched a rooster, in a sack hung on the wall, play the harp. I never thought I'd write that. Ever.

    I had forgotten that they could change the seasons on the way to Friendly's castle! Love the snowplow clearing the road. Rusty played the harp; I had completely forgotten...Jerome was such a character...great, beautiful music...where are today's shows like this? Ones that appeal to all ages, have cozy live-action, never talk down to the kids, and make everyone feel that there's still beauty, fun, gentleness, and security in the world. Perhaps a second or third wave of children's TV will come to succeed Friendly, Mssrs. Rogers and Dressup, Frightenstein, et.al.

    Thanks so much for uploading this!. Years ago I wrote to the CBC asking them to release "Friendly Giant" to DVD so I could show my daughter. Never heard back. Too busy cutting programming and jobs, i suppose. Nice to see this again after all these years. Thanks again!!
