    I loved this show!
    My memory was clogged for several years, but I remember watching a show as a kid about a dog who saved peoples lives from danger or served as a loving companion...was it Benji? No, but the dog looked the same...but wait...it was Boomer! How I finally remembered it was there was an episode of the show that starred the first celebrity crush in my preteen years, and that was Natasha Ryan. I was hoping to find that episode on YouTube, but couldn't.

    Here's Boomer is a very light and cuddly warm series that was on NBC Sunday nights. If this were out on DVD, no doubt it would be classified as family friendly. There were no intense moments that required parental suoervision.. just pure family entertainment. . I would do anything in this world to see this series again, to relive my age of 11. It truly touched my heart.
