Time For Another Flashback to Childhood


First off, raise your paw if this television and book series took up a substantial amount of time in your childhood. I know it did for me and I'm just now starting to get rid of my Wishbone books. But I have not brought you here, to hear me complain about my mom making me get rid of books. Instead you're here to discuss the one and only dog detective, Wishbone.

Two, this was my favorite book series for ears and even up into the time I was about fourteen, because at that point I had read most of the movies and books they had given the dog twist. At a point though, the writing kid becomes too childish and the only thing you can enjoy about it, is your childhood connection. The tv series is still fun to watch from time to time but since I've had little to no look on the internet, I rely on my old VHS tapes.

Third, now you know my stance. What's yours? Have you always loved Wishbone and will love him to the end of the earth? Was the series good while it lasted? Did you always have something against the cop canine?

Four, there actually is still one book in the series I still love. Unleashed in Space which was shaped after the Legion of Space. (still haven't gotten a round to reading that and I've been working on it since 2011)

Discuss now or forever hold your peace.

WISHBONE <3

aah, that was my favorite show as a child (and still is) :,). I was thinking about this show the other day, no joke. I think my favorite episode, if I remember correctly, was the Paul Revere one.

I remember this show, albeit vaguely. It was good stuff. :D I think my local library had a lot of the chapter books, and old episodes on tape - that's probably where most of my exposure to the series came from.

@Steggy in my true fashion of loving sherlock holmes, I loved the slobbery hound best. I watched it far too many times on tape once pbs stopped showing the re-runs.
And @Lava what about Enid now?

I own the Robin Hood episode on DVD. I wasn't terribly fond of the Sherlock Holmes episode. Or the Time Machine episode. Wishbone kind of hit right when my anxiety skyrocketed when I was a little little kid, where even things I'd seen a million times were scary and too much.

Wishbone was my lifeblood lol I had the computer game, too, although I hated some parts of it because they got dark and unpredictable and scary. I actually remember being more involved in the "real life" story, and I treated the book as framing for the real life story instead of the other way around.

Although, I remember being distinctly confused about why the actual books didn't have dogs as the main character, when I tried to read the originals.
