How long was "Friendly Giant" running in Canada?
I remember the show on my local NET affiliate when I was quite small.
But then when they became PBS it went away.

"The Friendly Giant" was in production through 1985, though the CBC and some specialty channels carried repeats of the show through the late-1990s.
