Own the rights?
Considering Benji had his own Saturday morning live-action show (Benji, Zax and the Alien Prince) just a couple of years after this, you have to wonder why NBC was unable to procure Benji for their prime-time line-up. Instead, we got a show starring a clone named "Boomer".Take a show like Lassie, stick a tiny dog in that looks like it's going to shiver at you if it doesn't like you, and you get "Here's Boomer". I guess that's what the Benji movies were like, though...Today the show feels like a cast-off from Disney's TV show from the same era; even the muted colors and blurry contrast remind me of live-action Disney animal shows. But when it was first on, I was a big fan of the show. Now, I just sit here and wonder why there was a kid's show on in prime-time. Perhaps NBC needed a tax write-off, or perhaps the management really DID want to lose their jobs to Brandon Tartikoff a few years later.Still a decent show, really- more of a true Benji show than the God-forsaken drivel that was Benji's Saturday morning show...
