[edit] Theorization?

This segment in the opening paragraph:

"The show received criticism from many in the Christian community after Joe Talbot came out as a homosexual in a controversial episode. He finds a time travel device, and promptly uses it to travel back in time and meet famous fictional characters. The show follows his time travels, as Wishbone (sometimes dressed in human clothing) acts out a famous story from literature or folklore. Only the viewers and the characters in his timetravels can hear Wishbone speak (and furthermore, they see Wishbone as whatever famous character he is currently portraying and not as a dog)."

appears to be entirely speculative. I cannot recall any plotline about a time travel device (Save for "The time machine")

I also cannot remember Joe Talbot coming out. While it may have happened, I cannot see it fitting the show or its audience and I doubt its veracity. 198.174.0.10 14:55, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

• I Watched This Show Religiously When It Was On, And Trust Me, It (Joe Talbot coming out) Never Happened. The whole thing about Joe Talbot coming out and so on and so forth is obviously vandalism Garr1984 00:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)§

[edit] What's the story wishbone?

UnsignedIP -->

[edit] Cast

"Ellen Talbot: Joe's widowed mother, who, like him, has dark brown hair. She works as the reference librarian at Henderson Memorial Library in Oakdale. She often refers to the death of Joe's "father" in a very casual manner, which leads many to suspect the validity of his parentage. An example of this can be seen in the episode entitled, "Bark-ules and the Golden Apples.""

Who is actually questioning Joe's parentage? as it doesn't appear to actually happen in the show, it shouldn't be here. lpmiller Oct 23 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lpmiller (talk • contribs) 01:06, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I've removed it. Likely vandalism from the IP that added it. --Squids'and'Chips 01:12, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Theme song

The closed-captioning for the first season erroneously gave the lyrics as "What's the story, Wishbone? What's this you're dreaming of? Such big imagination On such a little pup." In the theme song's revamped version during the second season, you can clearly see by the words on the screen that the correct words are "What's the story, Wishbone? What's this you're dreaming up? Such big imagination On such a little pup." I've seen that fixed version myself. Since the version in the article before I once again revised it was incorrect, I redid the change. --Jgstokes-We can disagree without being disagreeable (talk) 02:41, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Wishbone apple.png

Image:Wishbone apple.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This article states that Wishbone lasted from 1995-2001 but the article for Soccer and this IMDB page claim the series only lasted from 1995-1998.

[edit] When was the series made?

This article states that Wishbone lasted from 1995-2001 but the article for Soccer and this IMDB page claim the series only lasted from 1995-1998.

The final episode of the show aired in 1998, however reruns continued to air til 2001, although the show has recently returned to PBS.
