"I watched WIshbone when it was "Fresh" 10 - 12 years ago. I have a few of the videos and the kids (9 & 6) love him as well. I was glad to see that I could expand the collection a bit since the kids enjoy his stories. Heck--- I still enjoy them.

The creativity they use to parallel what is going on with Joe and his friends to the literary classics is great. The books these are based on are _The Hunchback of Notre Dame_ with Wishbone as Quasimodo and _Don Quixote_, where Wishbone is the ever-faithful Sancho Panza. The stories are easy for the kids to follow, and at the end they show how the show was made---how they created the special effects and so on.

Will these videos entice the kids to read these classics as they get a bit older, only time will tell, but it has given them a base of reference.

The downside is it has been harder to find Wishbone videos since he has been off the air for a while. Too bad."

"The Impawssible Dream

This episode is based on the book Don Quixote. (By Miguel De Cervantes)

Well the story is about a man named Don Quixote who goes on imaginary adventures with his companion Sancho Panza (played by Wishbone) but will Don Quixote realize these are "Impawssible dreams." Back in reality Joe is attempting to make it into the Encyclopedia of World Records for basketball free throws. But someone else wants to make the world record too. Will he beat the record? well go ahead and get this episode and you'll find out.

Man I love this episode I was cracking up at Wishbone's eeerrr... Sancho Panza's wisecracks and I like the story in Oakdale since I like basketball. So you got to get this episode or you're missing out big time!


The Hunchdog of Notre Dame

Hunchback of Notre Dame (written by Victor Hugo) in this episode is changed just slightly to Hunchdog of Notre Dame of course because Wishbone plays the character Quasimodo. Quasimodo gets involved with a life-and-death struggle with his evil master Frollo. Back to reality, during a hockey game Wishbone sees a clumsy boy named Nathaniel who's trying to keep up with the other kids only to be humiliated by the other players. So can Quasimodo defeat Frollo and save the life of a Gypsy woman and will Nathaniel find his skill in hockey? The only way to find out is to watch this great episode.

Finally we get some episodes of Wishbone on DVD. (Too bad there are only four episodes on DVD overall!)Since there are such a little amount of episodes you can get on DVD these are must haves for any Wishbone fan.
