5 Best TV Shows That Starred Dogs, Ranked
Who's a good show? Who's a good show!? TV history is no stranger to iconic dogs. We've ranked the greatest television series starring man's best friend.
1. Rin Tin Tin is recognized as a movie icon rather than a TV star. He was a real-life German Shepherd who became a silent film star after being rescued from a World War I battlefield as a puppy and brought to the United States.
2. The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin is a children's adventure series that aired on ABC from 1954 to 1959, featuring the titular dog and an orphaned boy adopted by the 101st Cavalry.
3. Courage the Cowardly Dog, a masterpiece of children's horror and one of the best Cartoon Network shows ever made, premiered on Cartoon Network in 1999 and ran for four seasons in the early 2000s. Despite being somewhat anthropomorphized, Courage still reads as a dog.
4. Wishbone, the Jack Russell Terrier of the 90s PBS series, is a literary icon as he adapts famous works of fiction as his stories. The show's appeal lies in its clever reenactments of well-known literature, such as The Odyssey, Frankenstein, and Pride & Prejudice.
5. Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! is a classic Saturday morning cartoon that debuted on CBS in 1969, featuring the lovable and talkative Great Dane, Scooby-Doo, as a big reason for its success.
