Look Up

If you are feeling down or discouraged, remember the moments when you felt the warmth and care of someone in your life. As Friendly would say, "Here we are inside. Here's one little chair for one of you, and a bigger chair for two more to curl up in. For someone who likes to rock, a rocking chair in the middle." There is a place for you, no matter who you are, or what is happening in your life. Others around you are here to help. Ask them to help you, Look Up - Way Up! #BellLetsTalk #TheFriendlyGiant #FriendlyGiant #CBC #PBS #KidsTV https://youtu.be/pBuFZ-jxC8s

We are sad to say farewell to the voice and personality of Rusty and Jerome - puppeteer and voice actor, Rod Coneybeare. Rod was interviewed for the Look Up - Way Up biography of The Friendly Giant's Robert Homme. An integral part of the show, Rod"s repartee with Bob reflected their mutual love of old-time radio shows where unscripted yet planned outline made the shows dynamic and entertaining.
