Wishbone (television show)

Wishbone was a television show that aired from 1995 to 1998 in America. It featured a Jack Russell terrier of that name. The dog lives in a modern day neighborhood, but he tends to daydream being the star of stories from classic literature; the show follows his daydreams, as Wishbone (sometimes dressed in human clothing) acts out a famous story from literature or folklore. Only the viewers and the characters in his daydreams can hear Wishbone speak. The show has won Daytime Emmies, a Peabody award, and honors from the Television Critics Association. Wishbone's exterior shots were filmed in Allen, Texas, and its interior shots were filmed in Plano, Texas.
