Clifford - Clifford's Schoolhouse

 |
Description
Clifford has charmed generations from the pages of Norman Bridwell's books, and now the big red dog is animated thanks to the Emmy-nominated PBS series. John Ritter gives the crimson canine wise voice and the writers infuse his stories with gentle lessons that spring from everyday life. Friendship and tolerance are the order of the day in this quartet of episodes. In "Teacher's Pet," T-Bone feels second-rate compared to his fellow dog-obedience classmates Clifford, Cleo, and Machiavelli. But instructor Brittany Spaniel figures out a way to make him feel as proud as the others. "Nobody's Perfect" finds a frustrated Charlie struggling to master the gelatin juggle for Silly Sports Day. Clifford and Emily save the school play when he provides the stalk and she provides the lines after a distracted Jetta bails out on the lead role in "Clifford and the Beanstalk." Finally, Clifford and his pals go off in search of flowers, balloons, and a card for the ailing Emily in "Get Well!" (Ages 3 to 7) --Kimberly Heinrichs
