Who remembers Wishbone?

And who would like to be able to see the whole series again? It's to my understanding that the show does still air on PBS Kids, which is good if you have that channel, but a lot of us don't, and there are only I think about 10 episodes out on video, and we've seen them all by now enough times that we probably have them memorized. It doesn't make sense to me that they'll put out whole series of other kids shows which are terrible, and show them about 5 hours a day every day on basic cable channels, but the good stuff we have to hunt for. What's everybody else think?

Did you see what they did with the literary characters in the Fairly oddparents in comparison? Shameful is about all I can say. It seems they just do NOT want kids watching anything TRULY educational or that will make them think, or that might *cringe* lead to them reading more.

Oh yes, you're right about that. I can't even remember the circumstance or the details or even the cartoon but once I saw a newer cartoon and they were almost mocking learning.

And not in the way to tell you to do the right thing. I was a little shocked. I'll admit all of them aren't like that, but a good chunk are.

Also, when I was younger I watched Fairly Oddparents occasionally, but trying to watch it now makes me cringe at times.

You're cute in a Quasimodo kind of way.
