Best westen series of all even bitter than bonanza lovely robert fuller & John Smith wot,s not 2 love abt time it was repeated on TV

Is this the first episode? I don’t remember him ever introducing himself as a friendly giant, or having a farm. But then again when I watched it, it was in the 70s and 80s. The music is different and no sign of Jerome. This was a fun trip down memory lane. And interesting.

2:58 - 3:02 - the guy in back looks out of place. Like a time traveller.

Leave that music for us please don't go there 💩🤔

Huh, Spock must have broken the temporal prime directive to come back to the 60s in order ensure the Trek timeline continued

I liked the soundtrack to this show

God we're going to miss This guy. He did more than just Star Trek.But a lot of people don't know that and you gotta see some of the other stuff.It's pretty cool

Before the line was 'look up, look WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY up'

Why is the news lady on an intergalactic spaceship? 0:02

He lost both fights to fotiu who was extremely young then maybe 20

Costas inability to tell a story without making it take 30 minutes cripples this video.

They're on a BUS and he has fingertip-access to a HACKSAW...on a BUS... alrighty then...

Ballard was the poster boy for terrible team ownership.

❤

The deputy was my favorite guy in this show ❤

There was only a "Vulcan nerve pinch" but never a "Vulcan death grip" even in the TOS series - that was a ruse used by Spock to fool the Romulans into thinking Kirk was dead in "The Enterprise Incident", TOS S03 E02. As far as I'm concerned, if you want to find a real-life "death grip", look no further than your mortgage lender; I know it means "pledge to the death", but in my mind - taking a little creative liberty here - the etymological root of the word "mortgage" is "mort-" = "death" and "-gage" = "pledge". "Live long and prosper" - yeah, right - uh-huh.

Happy memories. Mr Dressup, Friendly the Giant, Chez Hélène all on CBC eventually.

The grand old lady on cartlon Street

Did he have anything to do with the Denny Pratt tragedy?

Hard to hear him with the music playing in the background.

Star trek and comics and other stuff actually keeps you busy and curious and makes you an alpha male as you don't concentrate on girls. Atleast this works for me 😂😊

yeah, unpredictable, except no, entirely predictable. he'll always lose his shit and go nuts, sooner or later. guy had more concussions than i've suffered in my life before he was 15. listen to him talk, look at his actions, the guy was ruined mentally before he hit puberty.

The guitarist Was Howard Roberts.A fantastic Jazz guitartist

That's fly would be the size of a Volkswagen what green radiated hell is he living in !!!

Very cool TV show. Dorothy Provine, was a hottie with 007 Roger. 👱‍♀ Glad Russia sold Alaska. 😎 Thank you.

So PBS had it first?

I guess so. All goons. Love it 💪 Stupid reporter asking stupid questions. Brothers dont fight, they have your back.

Rod Coneybeare is the best. Shows like this are really missed these days.

WOW! I wonder what year this was? This is black & white.

Brings back memories

“Has no future.” Yet no one knows what crew sanctioned this article

How much more wrong can a person be than the guy at the beginning of the video saying that Star Trek had no future because it was cancelled... lol. The Vulcan neck pinch actually has some real basis that I wonder if Nimoy was aware off? There is a nerve that runs along the area that he pinches, and is a martial arts pressure point. Apply enough pressure on it and your adversary is not going to be to happy about it.... extremely painful.

Rusty the Rooster must be about 7 feet tall.

Is this the first episode? I watched in the late 70s and I never knew that bag was supposed to be his book bag until now.

It would seem as if this first episode had an air date of May 3, 1954 when WHA-TV first began broadcasting.

I thought that there was a biopic filming?

This show originated in Wisconsin. This is from the Wisconsin Friendly Giant before it moved to Canada about five years later

Loved this program so much. But as much as I love the opening song "Early One Morning" it's actually a very sad song about a woman who is betrayed and deceived by her lover." Off juxtaposition

I love the Friendly Giant but I must call balderdash: the fly is not to scale.🤣

i wonder if ballads apartment is still there locked up like a time capsule

Nemoy created a lot of aspects about Vulcans. The V hand is apparently a part of a Jewish prayer Rabbi use.

One Saturday-Morning, ln 72, My Daddy caused my Mommy to faint, While she was rambling-on, Like a, Major, Chatterbox. Although, lt was hilarious, l thought, lt was Extremely-Romantic.

Poor Canada we have created so many great aircaft, only to loose them due to incompetent governments. Liberal and Conservatives. Trans Canada Airlines was owned by the Canadian government.

The fly and the rooster are out of proportion.

2:15 Wow first time seeing this episode. I remember in 1987 he was much older.

This guy may have 1000s of fans that's fair enough but at the end of the day he's just another bully.

"and of course Harold Ballard..." BOY DO WE KNOW.,

I guess there were many reasons why this show failed. Notably; there just wasn't anything different about it. Maybe if there hadn't been Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Virginian, etc. then it would've been great. I remember being four years old and enjoying it, then wondering why it disappeared.

I always imagine an SNL spoof of Star Trek in the style of the 60s Batman TV show. During fights scenes, while everybody else is punching people with splash screens like ‘Pow’ and ‘Bam’, Spock’s will just be ‘Pinch!!!’
