Show Biography: Clifford the Big Red Dog (PBS) - is a show about Emily, who moves from the city to the country because her dog grows too big for the family's apartment. Emily is a school girl and encounters many situations with her classmates while Clifford also experiences new situations with his dog neighbors.
Characters: Emily, Clifford
Observations (What are we really looking for?):
· Clifford did not have any observable racism, it was mainly focused around teaching the dogs lessons. Rarely did the human characters have much interaction with one another.
· The voices are indistinguishable! Cleo might be a person of color, but at times it sounds like T-Bone is as well. This might be a problem because lingual diversity is a means of getting in touch with children (Lee, Menkart, Okazawa-Rey, 2008, p158-159)
· Clifford episodes always teach one of the dogs a particular lesson.
