Light-hearted made-for-TV sequel in which former police dog Zeus
once again comes to the rescue of his family. The Bannister family
and their trusty dog, Zeus (voice of Joey Lawrence), have moved
into a new house. All is well in the house itself, but their
neighbour, Eli (Lance Henrikson), and his dog, Medusa (voice of
Mayim Bialik), seem to be strange characters. So strange are the
happenings across at Eli's, that George Bannister (Gary Valentine)

(Joey Diaz), to investigate. When the three fail to return, Zeus is
once again called to save the day.
Two centuries ago, native New Yorker Washington Irving exploded
onto the literary scene of Europe with the publication of his
breakout collection of stories, The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon,
Gent. Published in England and America in 1819 -1820, and
universally praised for its inventive characters and soul-searching
qualities, including the immortal tales "Rip Van Winkle" and "The
Legend of Sleepy Hollow," the volume enjoyed remarkable
transatlantic success, allowing Irving to become the first of his
nation to support himself as a professional author. In this
distinctive collection, historians and literary scholars come
together to reassess Irving's imaginative world and complex
cultural legacy. Alternately a satirist and a nostalgia merchant,
Irving was ever absorbed in reconstituting a lost past, which the
volume dubs "Rip Van Winkle's Republic." The assembled scholars
explore issues of Anglo-American culture, the power of imagery,
race, and the treatment of time and history in Irving's vast body
of literature, as well as his status as a bibliophile, an
antiquarian, and a prominent figure in an age of literary
celebrity. Edited by acclaimed historians Andrew Burstein and Nancy
Isenberg, Rip Van Winkle's Republic marks a rediscovery of this
marvelous author of social satire and fabled tales of the past.
