 "Homer Sweet Homer" one of the best Wishbones! -- by FilmBoy March 17, 2004
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
"Homer Sweet Homer" is one of the most hilarious Wishbone movies of all time! My favorite part was when Odysseus and his son are forcing the thugs out of their house.
It begins with Odysseus being trapped by a goddess (who also plays Joan in another Wishbone). The godess decides to let him go. When Odysseus is floating away in his boat, a sea god makes a storm so that Wishbone has to swim. Swimming is one thing that Wishbone doesn't like! Will he make it?!?!?!

 The kids fight to save their favorite tree in Jackson Park December 31, 2001
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
"Homer Sweet Homer" is one of the rare episodes of "Wishbone," the creative kid's show about the world's most imaginative Jack Russell terriers, where the story and the literary work do not fit properly. In the real world a developer has come to Oakdale to destroy Jackson Park and the kid's favorite tree. Of course, they band together to fight the good fight. Meanwhile, Wishbone is imagining himself to be Odysseus involved in a heroic quest to save his home. I can accept that the kids are involved in a quest of sorts, but Homer's "Odyssey" is more about trying to get home, not to save it, per se, and does not involve any sort of physical destruction of property (Penelope just claims to have moved their bed, the headboard of which is a tree; it is never in danger). Maybe the writers were just too enamored with their cute title for this episode. However, apart from that one complaint, which will not occur to the countless elementary school students who have yet to get around to reading Homer's epic poem, this is a solid episode of the series. Kids are never too young to learn that if they band together in a righteous cause it is possible they can win out against the big bad world.
Entertainment for adults as well! July 21, 2000

I must start this by saying that I am an adult. I happen to be flipping the channels about three years ago after getting home from work and found the Wishbone series on PBS. I was immediately hooked! I have been watching ever since. I love all the Wishbone episodes, but this particular one is in my top 5. I find that the ones that I like the best are not released on video at this time. I can't wait until all the episodes are released because I would buy them all! I really like how each episodes shows a shortened version of the classic story, and then has a modern story that correlates. So far, there has only been one edisode that covered a book that I had not read, so I immediately read that one as well. Not to mention that this show has one incredibly CUTE dog!
