Wishbone was a PBS series about a terrier that assumed the role of literary characters like Frankenstein and Odysseus and dressed up.
I’ve found it’s very hard to explain this one to people who weren’t there.
The best part is, in the real-world scenes, Wishbone is a totally ordinary dog. We know what he’s thinking because of the voiceover track, but he’s not, like, a Talking Dog or anything.
Then in the parts where he’s acting out the story, he dresses and acts like the character and everyone acts like he’s just a Totally Normal Human. And the human characters in these scenes can hear the voiceover track as ordinary speech.
It is wild.
And someone put the entire series into a YT playlist, so everyone can see why some of us 90s kids loved this show so much.

It was my favorite show when I was like 10.
