How I loved this show .I wanted so much when I was little to actually go to the castle and meet everyone. I was sad at the end to see the cow jump over the moon. Thank you for making us feel safe and happy . RIP

The fact that Jerome the Giraffe spoke with a cool, adult voice speaks volumes for the progressive vibe of this show. It was okay to want to curl up in a tiny chair, but children were not "talked down" to. I loved this show and so did many Canadian kids.

This program was never scripted. That is why you may feel one character or another talks over another. It was completely natural conversation.

@ Petar T I’m 65 and started going to concerts in ‘72. I recall (I think) The Police doing the Batman theme when I saw them during their first album tour in a ~1000 person hall called The Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver. It got a big cheer but I have always thought that if any band had played the theme from ‘The King’s Outlaw’ (AKA Thierry La Fronde) or the Friendly Giant theme while in Canada that it would have brought the house down. If you haven’t heard the Thierry La Fronde theme before as most will have not there are good ones on here. Rene L does one.
