23skidoo 6th Jun 2015		When I was a young child, before starting kindergarten, I would religiously watch the "Big 3" on the CBC each weekday morning: Friendly Giant, Mr. Dress-Up and the Canadian edition of Sesame Street. Good times. I enjoyed Friendly Giant because it was so laid back. The characters spoke normally to each other, they never spoke down to the kids in the audience, and from time to time they'd devote the whole episode to a concert of music which was often quite good. The series was reportedly a victim of budget cuts at the CBC. Maybe that's why so many Canadians of my generation want the CBC shut down? The irony, of course, being that Friendly Giant was originally an American program. That's OK, Mr Rogers Neighborhood began as a Canadian series so it evens up.
