Always makes me think of this: https://the-toast.net/2015/07/15/the-pitch-meeting-for-wishbone/

I literally have no memories of this show, but it was apparently a staple of my wife’s childhood. She often sings the theme song at me. As such, I’ve downloaded it all in anticipation of when our incoming baby gets older.

The Sherlock Holmes and Three Musketeers episodes!!

Apparently the reason why you can’t find it on any streaming services is because the rights were bought by a private equity firm and they have no plans on leveraging the IP.

There was an episode with The Monkey’s Paw, that one always stuck with me!

It was so ingrained in our culture in the early 2000s, that when a delivery driver said “Hey What’s the story?” as a “whats up” greeting, that I said Wishbone in reply. I did not expect him to get the reference, but he broke out and sang the Wishbone theme song.

I remember enjoying the dog rendition of Silas Marner more than the Masterpiece Theater one. He also was the definitive version of Faust.

This show was on every day after school on my local PBS channel. I watched it well into high school because I loved it so much. I love how it introduced you to a ton of different stories you may never have heard of otherwise.

To this day,I’ll walk up to people and just ask “What’s the story, Wishbone?”

My other alternative is “What’s the Sitch?”

I was a bit older than their target audience, but it was one of my little sister’s favorites, so I’d catch bits and pieces. I also remember how popular Jack Russell Terriers were at the time. I got to help out at a Jack Russell Terrier dog show at one point, and that was super fun.

The other day my dog was sniffing something in the road, and for some reason it made me think of the theme song “What’s the story Wishbone, what’s the storyyy Wishbone”

The entire series is avaliable for free on YouTube

I have never heard of it probably because I don’t live in america and I’m glad I don’t live in america with the shit that goes down there
