5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best television shows of all time!, June 4, 2006

This review is from: Wishbone: Hunchdog of Notre Dame/The Impawssible Dream (DVD)

"Wishbone" is the name of a terrier that lives with his human family, a boy named Joe and Joe's widowed mother, Ellen, who is a librarian. This excellent series follows the adventures of Wishbone, Joe, and Ellen in their daily lives and illustrates the relevance of classic literature to pre-teens. As Joe faces a challenge at school or with a friend, Wishbone "dreams" of a similar situation faced by a character in a great novel, and often points the way to the solving of Joe's dilemma. This wonderful series destroys the ridiculous theory all-too-prevalent in academia that today's children can't relate to works of fiction that may be centuries old. In each 30-minute episode, "Wishbone" introduces works of Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Homer, and many others, in ways both imaginative and humorous. Children will be fascinated, and I am sure many who viewed this series went on to read the books presented here. I am glad this series is being released on DVD. Every single episode is blessed with great scripts, and high production values; and Wishbone's period costumes must be seen to be believed!! Highly recommended!

I loved this show when it aired on public broadcasting and miss it. What's NOT to like? A classic novel told with the cutest darn dog in the lead. This show needs to come back on the air, but in the meantime, these DVD's are terrific and fun.

You would not think that a children's show would be fun to watch for an adult but Wishbone just makes you laugh. It really gives a fine decription of the story but also entertains you to the end. With the amount of garbage in children shows, it's a blessing to find a program that is of value to children and adults.
