One of the greats in children’s TV.
“Look up, look waaayyyy up”
Where does he poo and pee?
Why is that young boy an old man?
Suppose this might be on YouTube? I remember seeing this at least once.
Oh, that triggered the theme song in my head!
He really does look friendly, they aren’t lying
I can tell this was an awesome show just by the poster.
Best show I remember growing up. Was able to watch it in the Detroit area on channel 9 if not mistaken.
Holy shit I completely forgot about this.
gullivers travels rip off!
I used to have an AGM at a British themed Pub who looked exactly like this guy. He was the best.
Thanks for being so friendly, Jared ✌️
The show **wasn’t** from 1970, so the date’s wrong. It started in 1958 and ran for almost 3,000 episodes until 1982 on CBC in Canada.
Thought this was from Kids in the Hall
Since it’s Canadian I guess just “The Giant” would’ve been sufficient.
The intro was a recorder version of Greensleaves. It was very popular in Northern NY.
Does this guy look like Alex Liefson from Rush?
