It was exactly right.

You know, it's been so long since I've seen The Friendly Giant, probably going on 40 years, that I can't remember what actually happened during the show. But I'll always remember how the show began, it was my favorite part. The music, the chairs, the narration, just the whole look. Somehow it was all exactly right.
