Clifford the Big Red Dog is an American cartoon TV series. It is based on the book series Clifford the Big Red Dog. It is about a dog that is big and red. He gets into trouble sometimes and has 2 best friends, Cleo and T-Bone. His owner, Emily Elizabeth, loves him very much and takes excellent care of him. In fact that's how he got so big. It originally aired on PBS Kids in the United States for the first and the second seasons in 2000, 2001 and 2002. In the United Kingdom, the series got a British dub using an American voice actors by Skylark Sound Studios using a British with a British accents by The Sound Company Ltd. on CBeebies in 2002. Only the first 2 seasons were dubbed.
John Ritter voices Clifford in every episode. By the time the series ended production and the subsequent film Clifford's Really Big Movie was completed, Ritter was back on ABC's prime time schedule, starring in 8 Simple Rules. Ritter's death on December 12, 2009, came less than two weeks before the debut of Clifford's Puppy Days (it is often mistakenly cited as the reason the spin-off was created in lieu of a third season).
Though the production of Clifford ended before Ritter's death, voice actors for the main characters have reprised some of their roles for the Ready to Learn PBS Kids PSAs. Clifford's Really Big Movie served as the series finale, Clifford's Puppy Days still continued to air until its cancellation in 2006.
