Without this little guy, I'm pretty sure I'd still be illiterate...

chazferrari · 1 year

i was on a first date a few years ago, trying my best to seem like a knowledgable, sophisticated gentleman. the topic of discussion: the odyssey. having never read it i pulled all knowledge i could remember from that wishbone episode to carry on the conversation. eventually the topic got to a silent moment, and feeling like a phony i felt i had to admit it to her. "you know," i said, "i'm pulling all of this information from an episode of wishbone."

"me too!", she said.

we've been together for a good three years now.

My dog Gus looks alot like him. I'm a bit older and didnt know who Wishbone was until people starting saying they looked really similar.

I just broke up with my girlfriend for not knowing who Wishbone was.

I get into so many conversations about classic books only to discover halfway through that i didn't actually read it. Unless... was there a Jack Russell terrier in a Tale of Two Cities?

This fucking dog.

I loved this show.

I know I'm not alone here, but as Wishbone taught me the beauty of literature Sam taught me the beauty of Sam. Huuuuge crush, still hasn't fully gone away.

Growing up I had a mad crush on the kids blond friend. Pretty sure I experienced my first boner from her.

Edit: Her character was Sammy. Real name is Christie Abbott.

Never got into Wishbone for two reasons.

I'm a bit too old to have enjoyed this at the time of it's airing
I preferred rimshot

I liked this show as a kid, but I remember it getting really weird at a certain point. Like instead of just having the book scenes they would try to have an entirely separate plot going on with the kids that was somewhat related.

My mom used to run a professional babysitting business and the kids would fill the house. As her business location was my home I had to learn to be around many small children for at least 2-3 hours a day after school and at the time of "Wishbone" I was 15-16. They'd all cry out for "Wishbone! Wishbone!" come 4 o'clock. I used to hate it but then gradually, I started sitting in the "front row" on the living room floor, watching with all the others. Soon I was the one yelling out for "Wishbone! Wishbone!"

My whole world was turned upside down when I learned that the dog, in real life, was named something other than Wishbone

I too loved Wishbone. But it's not like I went and read the stories after I saw the episodes.

I also had a Jack Russell terrier, and would love seeing them in film and television.

[deleted] · 1 year

I'm 31 and I am not ashamed to admit that I (1) I used to watch this show and LOVED it, (2) as mentioned in a reply, I still have the stuffed animal that talked along with costumes for it and (3) I was in the "fan club" and got sent a monthly letter, posters and other cool stuff. And no, I'm not retarded, I just didn't want to grow up. Is this out on DVD?

Jack Russell's are the best dogs! My younger dog looks very similar to Wishbone... [URL=http://imgur.com/Adk4g][IMG]

I had a Jack Russell Terrier for about a decade, and I would always describe her to others as being the same type of dog as Wishbone. I miss her.

i loved wishbone. I liked the episode where they got a job and the douche-bag kid that looks like Moe from the 3 stooges got them work uniforms that smelled like bacon gone bad.

The chick grew up to become the ships mechanic aboard firefly. lol little wiggly tail.

YES! Wishbone is probably the reason I ever wanted a Jack Russel in the first place. Here's my Maax: http://i.imgur.com/NxVHm.jpg Side story: My gf (butt in pic lol) works at a fabric store. She met the lady who did costumes for "Wishbone". She told her that he was so smart (Soccer was his name) that whenever she came in to change his clothes, he would get into the "bow" position. This way, he was impossible to dress without being picked up.

At first i was all like ...the fuck? Then boom memories flooded my mind, thank you sir for reminding me of this.

I'm studying Don Quixote for a lit course. I think I'm going to hunt down the Wishbone for it. It was one of my favourites along with The Odyssey.

Several years ago I wrote a second-year university English exam on Frankenstein, and even managed to get a pretty decent grade on it too, despite having never actually read the book. Thanks Wishbone!

(For the record, I did eventually get around to reading Frankenstein, and loved it, also thanks to Wishbone.)

I really hated wishbone i could never watch an episode because i really hated that they changed the story and characters so much.

as a small child i would yell at my mother if she ever replaced peoples names in books with family members or my name. i would even yell at her if she tried to make voices of the characters.

i realllly hated wishbone

[deleted] · 1 year

But Wishbone didn't teach anyone to read! He made no one literate! He just acted as an advocate for the (mostly) Western canon of literature.

I live not too far from where Wishbone was filmed. One of my friends in high school was the bully on the show, DaMont... He was a super nice guy IRL. I think his uncle created the show, so he was able to get a part. I used to mess with him and act like he was a superstar and ask for his autograph and make a big deal sometimes when I saw him in the halls...

Lucky1374 · 1 year

I didn't blow up the photo and just went by the thumbnail. I came in here not recognizing Wishbone to throw in a Lewis Black joke because it seemed appropriate.

Behind me, I heard a young woman of 25 say, "If it weren’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college." Now, I'm gonna repeat that, because it bears repeating. "If it weren't for my horse..." as in, giddyup, giddyup, let's go — "I wouldn't have spent that year in college," which is a degree-granting institution. Don't think about that too long, or BLOOD will shoot out your NOSE!

But now it's really not...
