"Look Up... WAAAYYYYYYYY UP"

I am a vintage-queen.

Anyone remember The Friendly Giant? I just youtubed a bunch of clips. Forget the show. My favorite part of the clips is the VINTAGE CBC COMMERCIALS.

Seriously, what happened to friendly old men having children's TV shows without being accused of terrible pedophilia? Our time had Mr. Dressup (love love LOVE that tickletrunk of costumes!), Raffi, Fred Penner, the Friendly Giant and of course, Sharon, Lois & Bram (with occasional visits from Eric Nagler).

Children's TV today blows. I feel like taking a trip in the wayyy-back machine and watching Today's Special. Is that out on DVD yet?

And by the way, this all came about because I named a stuffed giraffe Jerome. Obviously.
