I was a little bit too old for Wishbone too, I think. But I remember watching it all the time. There are quite a few classics I still only know anything about because I saw the Wishbone episode.
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I totally love Wishbone but was an adult when I picked it up.

I was also an adult who loved Wishbone! And his little costumes!

The rerun Wishbone on my PBS at some weird time on weekends, and Casper (now 7) just loves it.

I can't remember if I've mentioned this, but this year I taught (and read) Invisible Man for the first time. Holy shit. Ellison? AMAZING. This is definitely on my best book list. Anyone read it?

I've read it. Although long enough ago ( before HS) that I think I might confuse it with "Black Like Me."

Invisible Man is indeed amazing.

Weird. The opening quote on tonight's CM, which I just started watching seconds after reading this thread, is from IM.

Sophia, Invisible Man is really distinct. I had read both Native Son and Black Boy and had zero interest in teaching them. I had approached IM very cautiously because I thought it would be another book of a type.
But damn! It was so amazing -- I think the search for individual identity in the face of societal (of all races) expectations is a challenge and a great story to tell.
I loved it so much.
