Binford vs. Binsford[edit]

Seems like the correct spelling of the main family's last name is Binford, not Binsford. at least that seems to be how it's pronounced. I watched 3 episodes of the series and the only time someone said the main family's last name was about 4 minutes 58 seconds into episode 3 when the dad meets a neighbor on the street (sorry, I couldn't link to YouTube).

Just wondering if anyone has heard it pronounced Binsford? Or if there's an official source stating that it's actually Binsford? Otherwise it seems to me that it's Binford. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lemonation (talk • contribs) 01:44, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled[edit]

The game was actually based on a CBS prime-time cartoon, part of the same era of circa-1991 Simpsons wannabes that bred Capitol Critters and such. --4.244.27.59 13:26, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I believe The Family Dog was aired as an episode in Stephen Spielberg's Amazing Stories. The Family Dog has a bit of a cult following and I think the game should only be a side note in the entry and instead it should focus on the show. --Jeff 18:13, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added some stuff about the TV show!:)--Ian 22 June 2006 (UTC)

The article says the story of Family Dog is "sad but true;" does this mean that the TV show was based on a real family? If not, that sentence should definitely be reworded. 138.69.160.1 14:02, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know that Tim Burton was involved in the TV show, and I think he was involved with the original Amazing Stories short... anyone know for sure? Curtangel 02:27, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, me and the dog have something in common, we both suffer from being ignored by our family! (99.114.169.92 (talk) 13:27, 30 December 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Familydog1.jpg[edit]

Image:Familydog1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Great show, but Dog neglect is not so funny

Spielberg's first animation project?[edit]

Pardon me but wasn't the Steven Spielberg/Don Bluth collaboration An American Tail the first animation-related thing by Steven Spielberg? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.95.41.198 (talk) 21:30, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Television series set in the 1990s[edit]

I have removed this from Category:Television series set in the 1990s, as that category is only for televisions set in the 1990s, that were not made in that decade (ie pre 1990s series set in the future or series since 2000 set in the historical 1990s).
