If you want animation that is not just for kids, Clifford the Big Red Dog is available in Australia on Hoopla, and in the US on Paramount Plus Premium and PBS Kids Amazon Channel right now. Across 2 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 89 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. John Ritter's voice work is a big part of what makes it distinctive. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Hoopla.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Clifford the Big Red Dog earns its spot. The look of Clifford the Big Red Dog gets people in the door, but the writing is what keeps them there. The adventures of a larger-than-life red dog on Bridwell Island. Every line from John Ritter and Kel Mitchell lands with more craft than you'd expect. It ran for 2 seasons (2000–2003), and the writing holds up across every one of them. Clifford the Big Red Dog uses the freedom of animation to tell stories live-action could not attempt. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.
