One that didn’t make the list – Run Joe Run

Posted by Brett Singer

Run Joe Run - the greatest action-adventure show ever to star a real live dogIn my extensive list of Classic Kiddy TV shows that you can't get on DVD (excuse my blatant self-promotion), there were some that didn't make the cut.

Exhibit A: Run, Joe, Run

This description, from 70slivekidvid.com, is one of the all-time great sentences ever written about a TV show:
"The show was sort of a combination of Lassie and the Fugitive…falsely accused person running from authorities while helping out the people he meets along the way, except that the person was a dog."

Yes. A dog.

I'm fairly certain that I had a Joe action figure as a lad, but my recollection is hazy. This video clip jogged my memory. Maybe it will do the same for yours.
