The first Western for preschoolers, "Sheriff Callie's Wild West" follows Callie, a loveable kitty cat sheriff, along with her deputy woodpecker, Peck, and their fun-loving cactus sidekick, Toby, as they watch over their pleasant little frontier town of Nice and Friendly Corners, ensuring that everyone follows the "Cowpoke Code" of fairness, honesty, hospitality, cooperation and hard work.
In the season two premiere episode, titled "The Good, The Bad & the Yo-Yo / Boots or Consequences," a yo-yo twirling bandit arrives in Nice and Friendly Corners and learns an important lesson about forgiveness, and Callie imparts some words of wisdom to Toby about returning things to their rightful owners.
The vibrant, music-filled series forged new frontiers when it launched in 2012 as the first Disney|ABC Television Group series to premiere multiple episodes online and on mobile devices before its on-air debut.
