    I love this show!!! hide show

    Aw, I absolutely adore Wishbone!!! He's so cute!!! Only I just found out that the dog who played him diead like 8 years ago. That sucks. That's also probably why the show ended. :( Well anyway, this show is about a loveable doggie named Wishbone who loves books. I loved this show when I was little and now I watch it everyone Saturday morning. :) OK, need to fit in about 30 more words. Um, this is a really good show. Lots of people should watch it. OK, only 10 more words. I really, really, really, really, really, really, love Wishbone.

    Memories. hide show

    It was all about the dog. That was good. I liked the stories and the show in general. I used to watch this show when I was younger and I absolutely think that it was some of the best stuff for kids. It had an interesting plot every time and the stories were very accurate and well acted. There were a lot of talented actors and actresses on that show and I can remember so many stories. My favorite episode had to be the one with Wishbone being a friend to Joan of Arc. That was extremely well acted and well done. Overall, a great show and a classic. Thank you.

    Wishbone combines the insight of a small dog with summary of classic books. It's about a dog who tries to take of his owner Joe, Joe's friends and family. Their situations remind him of books like Don Quiote, the prince and the pauper, and Ivanhoe. hide show

    Wishbone introduced me to the wonderful world of reading. Mainly, it summarizes a lot of classic literature that can even interest adults who don't feel like reading the novels. Don't write a book report based on it but the general idea is there. If you want corny speeches about life lessons look no further. Of course nothing is perfect. The acting sometimes makes you flinch, but the show can make you smile and enjoy yourself in spite of that. And the theme song gets stuck in your head, which tells you it's a winner. Does it get better than a cute dog on a big red chair? Only if you add Mark Twain.

    Wishbone was a dog Who had amazing tales. hide show

    I love this show. I grew up watching this show. Everyday after swim practice waiting for my parents my brother and I would watch this show. Its a great show. It's a classic. I loved the books to. I think I own all of them. This Tv show made me intrested in books and know I have read mayebe over 500 books. I wished they would put these on Dvd so my kids should watch them and my baby brother. The wishbone reminds me of my dogs. An Amazing Show, that should come back. Four out of Four stars. :)

    My favorite show growing up hide show

    A true classic Wishbone is a very cute and adrorable dog. I really enjoyed it when it came on. Just thinking about all the fun things that the dog had was very memerable which one day (not yet at least) will bring tears to my eyes. But I have heard gossip that its joining PBS Kids Go! which is good because i loved this show so dearly. If they were to make new eposodes that would be almost enough to convice me that its my favioirte show (for the 2nd time). I hady remember the show but I loved it just like any other of my favorite shows.
