‘Dog Baywatch’ Announced

‘Dog Baywatch’ Announced

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Baywatch was one of the most popular TV programs of the 1990’s – and now, it’s coming back. The NBC network has just announced a reboot of the classic series slated for its fall season, with an all-new cast.

“We decided to do dogs this time,” says Bob Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment. “Our focus groups reacted positively to the idea. People tend to like things with dogs better than things without them. It’s science.”

Leading the cast is canine newcomer Boomer as hunky lifeguard Pooch Buchannon. 

“Boomer is going to be a big star,” says Greenblatt. “His slow-motion beach shots were some of the best we’ve ever seen.”

Dog Baywatch will premiere in primetime in mid-September, alongside Paw and Order and Cheers With Cats.
