Wishbone Rocks
16 April 2001 | by (Philadelphia, PA) – See all my reviews

I remember that one of my favorite teachers turned me on to this show. I loved it when I was younger. I thought that it was so interesting how what was happening in Oakdale compared to what happened in a great literature. I still catch the re-runs on PBS sometimes. I love this show and hope it keeps teaching great literature to people.
