- November 6, 2002
Clifford the Big Red Dog season 2 episode 17 brings viewers two exciting adventures as Clifford goes on a hunt to find his lost bone and then transforms into a pirate king.
In the first half of the episode, "Who Moved My Bone," Clifford wakes up from a long nap to discover that his favorite bone is missing. He searches all over the house and the yard but can't find it. His friends, Cleo and T-Bone, offer to help him look, but they also can't locate it. Clifford becomes increasingly anxious as he realizes how much he needs his bone to chew on and play with.
Just as Clifford is about to give up, he remembers that Emily Elizabeth, his owner, sometimes hides treats for him to find. He decides to follow his nose and see if he can discover where she hid it. Along the way, he encounters several obstacles, including a muddy pool, a row of prickly bushes, and a group of noisy crows. But Clifford persists, and eventually, he finds the bone in a clever hiding spot.
The second half of the episode, "Clifford the Pirate King," follows Clifford and his friends as they use their imaginations to become pirates and search for treasure. T-Bone reveals that he has a treasure map and invites Clifford and Cleo to join him on an adventure. They dress up in pirate gear and set sail on their make-believe ship, the SS Barkentine.
On their journey, they encounter many challenges and obstacles, including a fierce storm and a shark in the water. But with teamwork and creative problem-solving, they are able to overcome each obstacle and continue on their quest. When they finally reach the spot on the map where the treasure should be, they dig and dig until they find a treasure chest.
Inside the chest, they discover that the real treasure was the fun and adventure they had together on their pirate journey. They share the treasure (a handful of gold coins) and continue to play pirates for the rest of the day.
Overall, season 2 episode 17 of Clifford the Big Red Dog is a fun and exciting adventure for young viewers. The first story teaches perseverance and problem-solving, while the second story encourages imagination and teamwork. Both stories feature lovable characters and lots of humor, making it an enjoyable viewing experience for the entire family.
