On Sept. 30, 1958, Canadian children were treated to a new show. It featured a giant who told them to "look up!...waaaaaay up!" For the next 27 years, the show was a fixture on CBC and is beloved to this day. This is the story of The Friendly Giant! 📸 CBC 🧵 1/12

The Friendly Giant debuted on this day in 1958 and ran for 3,000 episodes until 1985. On my trip across Canada this summer, I stopped at Bob Homme's grave and left a rooster at his headstone. youtube.com/shorts/2vL8h...
