Tequila and Bonetti would be better if it had a cat

The cat acts like he's the cops friend but he's secretly the mastermind of all the crime

Yes, that would be good. Plus the parking lot rapist sounds a lot like the same guy who kidnapped Elizabeth Smart years back.

Or, is secretly responsible for acts of brutal vigilante revenge.

Brad,

How does Lloyd feel about you poring over a TV show about a crime-fighting canine?

sciencemile

4/8/2015 05:13:02 pm

Does the cat from Early Edition count as a crime-fighter for bringing the newspaper?

Anders

4/8/2015 07:21:48 pm

Cats don't fight crime. That's too much like... work.

Bill Casey

I'm guessing Lloyd does not give two flying shits about any of this. He understands around a few dozen words of English, and most of them pertain to his cat food...

I am very much enjoying this series.

With the early 90's clothes and talking sidekick, I'm getting an 80's Dan vibe from this show.

Ted Quilla Bonetti

So the prospect of a character getting injured is the easiest way for us to come back for more. Aside from this entertaining retrospective.

Hey Brad, another great episode on a show I'm actually now going to watch, because of this retrospective special treatment you're giving to this show. Anyway, I was wondering whether or not you were aware of the next slate of AMC re-release screenings coming up. And that for the week of May 3rd and May 6th it will be Big Trouble In Little China. If you see that one, do you think you can do it with Spoony (Noah Antwiller)? Not trying to make a forceful request or anything, I'm really not, but I can;t help but think how cool it would be for you to watch it with him, especially since he;s always made it clear on his show that's his favorite movie all time. After all, he reviewed the game back in August. Anyway, keep up the great work, not excluded to this retrospective. And hope you get to reflect Kurt Russell - goodness next month! {Fingers crossed} :D

You sent me scrambling to the AMC website, which has no way for anyone to find a goddamn schedule for their Classic series. Seriously, it was one of the worst web experiences I've ever had.
Thankfully, before I sent a rambling email to their CEO about customer service and web accessibility, Google stepped in and revealed that BTiLC is actually a Cinemark re-release, not AMC.

But hey, thanks for the heads up. Now I gotta go buy tickets for it.

Was I the only one hoping that when Father Rapey waved that blowtorch around, Officer Terry Funk would make the save with his branding iron?

Been waiting for this all week, had the biggest smile on my face the whole way through. I think what really sells these episodes is how fucking PASSIONATE Brad is about what is ultimately a completely goofy piece of nonsense. This could have so easily been done in that 'laugh at the so-bad-its-good, ironic enjoyment' tone of reviewing which is so common nowadays.

What I hope is that someone involved with the production sees these, I suspect it would gratify them in a way to see something they worked on, which was torn to shreds six ways from Sunday by the press & then subsequently forgotten by the public, dissected so minutely by somebody expressing real interest & passion.

The plot point about the Miranda warning is idiotic because cops don't have to immediately give one when arresting, it must only be given to the criminal before he appears before the court. The reason why cops usually do it is because you can't use anything the suspect says if he's not given his rights, failing to do give a Miranda warning immediately would never be a reason to release someone from custody. That's typical Hollywood law with no semblance to reality, because screenwriters looove letting criminals free on technicalities.

Isaac

And if there's one thing Tequila and Bonetti is known for, it's a sense of reality.

4/11/2015 04:52:41 pm

Some of us expect more research put into the actual criminal procedures, especially in what's supposed to be a cop drama.

Matrim

" it must only be given to the criminal before he appears before the court."

Actually, that's not true. It must be given to the suspect before they are interrogated. It wouldn't be much use to tell them they have the right to remain silent after they've already been questioned.

So, if they interrogated him, they violated his rights. But, in reality, they don't just assume the arresting officers read him the Miranda warning, they do it again before interrogation.

I feel like Obscurus Lupa should be doing this series.

HazyEight

I think someone said this before. Anyway, yeah, I felt that way too. I guess it's because it's a crappy show being reviewed in an enthusiastic tone (which admittedly isn't always the case, but she usually seems to having fun). But yeah, definitely can see her reviewing this.

Video doesn't want to play, it gets stuck at 'Advertisement playing...' but the advert never plays and the video just hangs there.

After about 5 refreshes and retries the video played directly without failing at trying to load an advert. Maybe something wrong with Blips' adverts server or something? Cause it doesn't want to load an advert when it tries to.

The dog does not even get a credit in IMDB. Where is PETA?

Jesus Christ. I just got it! Tequilla and BONEtti. It took me just a couple of weeks.

Holy shit I wish you would have told me about that "press stop" thing a week ago.

Handsome Pete

If the dog actually does solve most of the crimes and takes dangerous risks, that's brilliant. There's potential for some extremely original character stuff there.

Garcia's daughter is actually Donald Bellisario's daughter -- who helped her dad develop the show.
[according to Wikipedia]

Brad

In this episode it's Noley Thornton playing Theresa. Bellisario's daughter takes over the role in a later episode.

The dog sounds like an angry black man.

Brad, I am now very interested in buying this series on DVD. Since there hasn't been an official release, I'm assuming you got it as a DVD-R (or made your own). Where would you reccomend that I can get this series at a reasonable price?

Itai Lev

4/11/2015 12:20:05 pm

Already asked him that, as several others did. I think Brad has the last known copies of this series and is hoarding them like a dragon would its gold.

Does anyone know if this was ever shown as reruns? I would've only been two when this was on the air originally, but I could swear I saw part of an episode when I was still little.

Wow child rapists and burrito talk all in one hour sitting. What's not to love?!

Does anyone else think Tequila's voice seems eerily similar to the dub voice from Zombi 90?

Never realized Marishka Hargitay played two characters who had a rapist break into their house... who were both cops hunting down said rapist.

I have been told there was a revival of Tequila and Bonetti that was Italian made. Will Brad be going over this?

This show makes me want to scope out episodes of "100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd". That show was awesome! When I was a kid. Don't know if it holds up.

C-Puff

These episode recaps and this talking dog show itself is everything I never knew I really really wanted in life!! (seriously, I'm torrenting the thing as I type, although a lack of seeds is making it hard. I would feel bad about torrenting the show if I had any hope of finding a cancelled 1992 tv show legally.)
Please don't stop Brad! This is one of the few things still keeping me sane!

I need more Tequila and Bonetti.

I can't believe how often I check to see if there's a new episode up.

I don't know what I was doing at the 01.24.1992, but I do know what I did 05.16.1993, the day the episode was aired over here. I was a child, watching a dog piss a rapist.

I probably laughed a little too much at Tequila's pasta-head crack. :D

Target sticks are exceptional for baiting or managing our mutts into the specific positions we require from them when instructing new dogs traps.
This eases the need to mightily drag your canine around by means of the neckline in addition to making use of an goal stick is a good deal more potential at any rate.
