Holy hell! Who remembers this show?!

Everybody. Everybody remembers.

The only reason I seemed smart in middle school English class. Fuck Sparknotes; Wishbone was where it was at.

michandwich · 9 months

When I was about 12, my mom was training to be a police officer. She was gone for about 8 months. She came back home really late in the night after her training was done. She woke me up and gave me a wishbone stuffed animal. I still have it :)

Whenever I had to do a book report for school, I'd always try to pick one that I'd seen on Wishbone. Thanks for the easy A's, PBS. :)

TheAwakeGirl · 9 months

Wishbone was the motherfucking bees knees

Romneys_Mittens · 9 months

This dog single paw-edly taught me more about classic literature than any class I took in college on it.

Now come to think of it, that's pretty sad.

InMySpeedo · 9 months

I had a little plush Wishbone doll with a voice thing in it. It said, "Be like me, put your nose in a good book!" I did, wishbone... I did...

rakevinwr · 9 months

I ended up watching Bill Nye videos for the last 30 minutes. Thanks a lot.

I hope they help me on my physics test tomorrow.

I have a Jack Russell and everywhere I go, adults and kids alike yell, "Wishbone!" when they see him. :)

Watching Wishbone and eating grilled cheeses... that was the life

asldkfououhe · 9 months

my older sister taped over the footage of my birth with a wishbone episode about sherlock holmes

HotKarlHungus · 9 months

Is that Lavaar Burton?

dolphinsushi · 9 months

yes! I knew someone who was on it (one episode). Pretty awesome. PBS rocked the 90s!

Allikuja · 9 months

Loved it. Taught me a lot about classic books I never encountered in school or on my own.

davisr · 9 months

A few years ago I obtained every episode of Wishbone, just so I can make my kids watch it someday.

Madmabes · 9 months

Wow! I love it! Hows about "ghost writer?!"

Stuffing · 9 months

I still have the computer game behind me. That shit was awesome.

penguinsympathizer · 9 months

Seared in my memory forever is the image of Joan of arc burning at the stake. Wishbone didn't pull its punches

Raindog37 · 9 months

THE FUCKING MORLOCKS EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH, still scares me shitless!

flofatal · 9 months

Watched this show all the time as a kid. Might be a product of not having cable tv while growing up and all the the exotic channels like PBS were in the weirdo 20s, 30s, and 50s (as opposed to all the local channels on 2-13).

I always made references to this show to my girlfriend, but she never understood it cause she didn't know what the fuck Wishbone was. Maybe that's why she's not my girlfriend anymore. Bitches do not love Wishbone, apparently.

mtndewheine · 9 months

Back in 7th grade, teacher assigns us reading, going to be an essay test on it. I thought it was 'pick one of the three books to read, write one essay.'

Test day, turns out were supposed to have read all three books, and I didn't read the Scarlet Letter or The Count of Monte Cristo ...I did, however, see episodes of Wishbone covering both.

Get the tests back, A- on The Scarlett Letter, A on The Count of Monte Cristo, C on The Time Machine (which I had read.)

paul_heh_heh · 9 months

What's the story wishbone, wag another taaaaaail.

dope_soap · 9 months

The Frankenstein episode terrified me as a child, I was scared of pretty much anything dark or corner-ish for months!

What a great show.

Juliolink · 9 months

I love the Midas touch episode :)

Cruyff14 · 9 months

OMG yes! I remember having a crush on the best friend of the dude who owned wishbone (can't remember names at all). Also, the halloween special scared the shit outta me.

TheHolls · 9 months

Wishbone will always hold a special place in my heart. The halloween one (I think that it was centered around Sleepy Hollow) was the first "chapter-book" that my parents bought for me :) They picked out a word for me to read- 'skeleton'- in order to make sure that I was ready for it. These books sure beat the hell out of Boxcar Children, not that I didn't enjoy me some of that every now and then.

k1llyours3lf · 9 months

LEST WE FORGET... I even met Wishbone once. I have a pin with a picture of the two of us sitting in on a giant chair. That is still the single greatest moment of my life.

GoodApolloIV · 9 months

I went to school with the girl in the show, Sam. She was in like the 8th grade when I was in 3rd and all I remember was that I knew she was in Wishbone and I knew she was super fine. True story.

kiamarobot · 9 months

Remember the adventures! :D

daneklarer · 9 months

I'd say most of us do. What about the Wishbone books with the little flipbook style animation in the corners?

overtb · 9 months

You don't even know. I used to have 17 different stuffed Wishbones. SEVENTEEN

cheeseisprettygreat · 9 months

This show started when I was around 12 or 13 so I was a bit older than the target audience, but I was in the midst of puberty at the time so I watched it because I totally wanted to nail the blonde chick. No pedo.

Not sure if Reddit community is my age or if they just like watching kids shows.

theartfulcodger · 9 months

Yes! Better yet, while working as an As't Propmaster on "Marmaduke", I used a little Wishbone stuffed toy as a dog stand-in. At wrap, I got Jackie Kaptan, our dog-wrangler & Wishbone's original trainer, to sign it. One of my favourite keepsakes.

As a kid, I tried to impress everyone in my class when I brought in my plastic recorder and played the song all the way through.

Turns out, recorders are the worst way to establish male dominance in the classroom.

shoebill_ · 9 months

I can't even count the number of times this show has helped me recall the plots of books I'm unfamiliar with during English class...

this theme song was almost as catchy as the one and only Duck tales intro lol

rustyoldtimer · 9 months

Wishbone! I use to watch it every day after school on PBS! Best show for kids

Blitztwist · 9 months

This show was like cliff notes for 12 year old's. If success kid was around back then it would have def said "Teacher assigned a book for us to read, Wishbones doing that book today."

When I was a kid, I had a Wishbone stuffed animal that I took everywhere with me. When you squeezed his butt, his voice said "Don't go there!" I think he lives in the attic now.
