Wishbone is an American live-action children's television series that aired from 1995 to 1997 and originally broadcast on PBS. It is about a Jack Russell Terrier dog named Wishbone who daydreams about being the lead character of stories from classic literature.
The show was produced by Big Feats! Entertainment, a division of Lyrick Studios, which also produced Barney & Friends for PBS. Unlike Barney, Wishbone was targeted towards an older demographic ages 6 to 11. The adapted stories were notable for staying faithful to the source material, and not toning down their subject matter like murder, execution, suicide, and the effects of slavery.
Though the series was meant for children, thousands of letters were received from college students and parents saying how much they enjoyed the show.
