Talk:The Friendly Giant

message: Can anyone substantiate in print, other than from my personal memory as a child watching it, that sometimes CBC Vancouver would run the show immediately after the Canadian anthem at midnight?

message: I deleted the following unsourced statement: "The show's replacement, Fred Penner's Place, has been referred to by some people as "the Giant Killer"." We can't have a statement like that in the article without attribution. If a source can be found, please feel free to  put the statement back (with the source cited). 23skidoo 21:26, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Deleted statement

message: I recently heard an instrumental of Early One Morning, & I remembered the show. 
I grew up in Madison, & watched the show on WHA-TV when I was a little boy.  It came on right before Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
I remember the miniature village, & the doll furniture by the little fireplace.  I loved  the stories, & how he & Jerome & Rusty would joke around.  He was so kind & gentle.
They canceled the show on WHA to make room for Sesame Street. Unfortunate that they couldn't make room for both shows, but I'm glad that it had such a successful run in Canada.   
This article brought back some very fond memories! Scott S 15:45, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fond Childhood Memories

message: I just deleted the statement about the train set being on display at the Pump House museum in Kingston because when I was younger and used to watch this show I can recall nothing of there ever being a train set appearing. Also the statement is unsourced and I checked the website for the museum as well but no result (if the set were there it would have mentioned). Also it does not make sense that they would have a TV set material on display at a museum on municipal services. If someone can prove there was a set and it has been seen at the museum I will re-add it. trainfan01 18:40 4 May 2010  —Preceding undated comment added 01:43, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
