The Friendly Giant, early clip black and white

Will someone please beg the Homme family to somehow release The Friendly Giant on DVD? I'd buy it, I know many here would.

I watched this as a child back in the early 60's. It came on CBC Television at 10 a.m. followed by Chez Helene at 10:15. I remember there was a Jazz Trio of mice or squirrels not cats...am I imagining this? I absolutely loved this show and the end is my favourite part, I always wanted to go and sit in front of that fireplace.

@Batgirlbert i sincerely hope that "Early One Morning" is the last piece of music i hear when i finally make it across the pail..........:)

I watched this in Des Moines, Iowa, USA. I am almost 52 years old. I remember it was in black and white and each episode ran for 15 minutes which was unusual for TV shows since most were 30 minutes or 1 hour. It seems like I watched it on PBS, but I'm not sure. I LOVED this show. A few years ago I read an article on the internet about Bob Homme, but I didn't realize that the show ran until 1985. How interesting. Thanks for sharing the video.

Every Afternoon after School i watch The Friendly Giant it came on around 4:30 on WTVI in Charlotte i had a toy flute & learned to play the theme song i wish this show was released on dvd im 52 & still feel like a kid again when i see this.

There needs to be more simple stuff like this just to let kids feel safe, not all jazzed up, and just relax and develop a natural curiosity. I like today's Sesame Street ok but it feels hyperstimulating next to this. And it's got too much irony.  Kids are not little grownups....

The first time I heard "Early One Morning," I was taken back to watching "Friendly Giant". My first beloved piece of music!

this almost made me cry. I haven't seen this since I was 4. It's gentle and lovely. Thank you.x

I used to have big fights with my brothers about who got to sit in the rocking chair!

We also watched Chez Helene, and Mr Dressup. My favourite was always Johnny Jellybean. Anyone remember that?
