Wishbone Intro

Theme for Wishbone

[@ChucksPullingVideos]

Kids these days will never know the joy of coming home from school to watch this and feel like you were taken on an adventure through time. R.I.P. Wishbone. Good dog.

[@johnjohnson4610]

you are so right

[@WyoteCoyote]

I remember the first episode I watched was Salty Dog, and I loved pirates so I fell in love with the show, and I was so excited to watch it when it came on. I had all the books too.

[@KaylaJohnson1995]

Kids really don't read enough... How do you get kids to read? DOGS! No really, this show was ingenious, they need to do a reboot and start getting kids into the classics at an early age again, I know I probably wouldn't be such a big bibliophile if not for this cute pup :)

[@BlueydaHeeler]

Reading Rainbow, Wishbone, and Between the Lions made me love books as a kid. With I was in middle school/high school I hated reading. Probably because the books we were forced to read. For a while I got away from not reading any books. But now I’m enjoying reading books again now that I’ve been out of school.

[@jilldahlen5457]

@@BlueydaHeeler You mean like Reading Rainbow re-aired on PBS, KidZone, and PBS Kids from 1984-2007, Wishbone re-aired on KidZone from 1996-1998 just like the ABC World News logo after Peter Jennings said, "Have a good night!" is before WDAZ News @ 6:00 pm in 1996, and Between the Lions re-aired on PBS Kids from 2001-2011?

I never really liked it because I couldn't watch what I wanted to watch because the other kids wanted to watch Wishbone. haha lol. But now I appreciate it.

Wishbone, one of THE greatest shows EVER. It was educational, most of the books this show covered I eventually had to read in high school, like Pride and Prejudice, and thinking back to Wishbone helped me so much. It was hilarious (too many moments to list). It was one of the first things to scare me, we all know the episode in which I'm referring. Plus it was a 90s show. TV shows today aren't as good as this show was along with most other TV shows of the period, with some exceptions. All in all, great show and I wish there were more TV shows like it on today with the same quality. Thank you if you read this far.

[@SaraHouck461]

This is why I feel jealous for not gaining further interest in this show other than the intro. I was more of a math and science geek, which is ironically the other way around for many others.

[@ZainR]

Which episode?

PBS doesn't make shows this good anymore, at least not those regarding books. Wishbone was my favorite show as a kid, and it helped me learn about classic literature.

I've recently come across this show, (it came out a year after I was born), and I am in love with it! The costumes they put Wishbone in are positively adorable! This show has also taught me about literature I never had the chance to learn in my middle and high school years; "Faust," "Cyrano," "The Hound of the Baskervilles," "Tom Sawyer," "The Time Machine," etc. However, there are some forms of literature in the show I already know about, like "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and "Romeo and Juliet." Too bad I never saw this show when I was a kid in the 1990's, but I'm happy I got the chance to see it now.

***** To a certain extent, I agree. The "educational" shows out there now only talk about animals, cooking and whatever shlock is out there. This actually can inspire others to read good stories. Not to mention the old CD-Roms taught interesting facts about said stories that appealed to both kids AND adults. Amazing Odyssey and Activity Zone are my faves
