Description

This week, the Penny Men crack open the PBS vault to revisit Wishbone — the little Jack Russell Terrier who crammed classic literature, sitcom subplots, and dog costumes into 20 minutes of TV magic!

Ben, Gregory, and Tom put Tom to the test: Has he read the books behind Wishbone’s punny episode titles like A Tail in Twain, The Slobbery Hound, and Bone of Arc? More importantly, can Tom guess which piece of classic literature each pun is based on?

Along the way, they spiral into:

• Mr. Mister
• Spinal Tap deleted scenes
• Fast food toys
• Dickens being paid by the word
• Sherlock Holmes cameos
• Don Quixote dream sequences
• And whether Wanda the neighbor deserved her own spinoff!

Also:

• Larry Bird rules
• Alan Thicke’s theme songs
• PBS tote bags
• And Spring-Heeled Jack!
