Originally aired on October 23, 1995.
Joe wants to beat the world record for consecutive free throws. This idealistic dream prompts Wishbone to imagine himself as Sancho Panza in ''Literature/DonQuixote'' by Creator/MiguelDeCervantes.
By both production order and release order, this episode marks the first onscreen appearance of Joe's rival Damont Jones, who was previously [[TheGhost mentioned]] in "[[Recap/WishboneS1E03TwistedTail Twisted Tail]]."
One tie-in book was released -- ''Wishbone Classics'' #1: ''Don Quixote'', featuring a less compressed adaptation of the original story with comments by Wishbone rather than the modern-day segments.
