As fans of the PBS Kids series know, the words "Clifford" and "Best Friends" promise loads of screen time for two of kid-vid's most charming sidekicks: T-Bone (voiced by Kel Mitchell) and Cleo (Cree Summer). Of course, Clifford's human pal Emily Elizabeth (Grey DeLisle) counts among his closest companions, too; and their bond is the object of a school show-and-tell in "My Best Friend." But doesn't it always seem that the Big Red Dog's most telling moments of self-realization come from his relationships with his pals? Certainly the two best episodes included here, "False Friends" and "A New Friend," give that impression. Each of these introduces a fourth canine into the three-dog Clifford dynamic, with edifying results each time. In the final episode, "The Dog Who Cried Woof," we get a bit off the friendship theme, but the central trio's reaction to the scary story of Whiffy the Ghost Skunk is welcome fun indeed. Greg Fagan
