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.
