Poochinski or The Greatest Show Never Made
Poochinski was a failed NBC pilot from 1990 starring Peter Boyle as a talking bulldog. But not just any talking bulldog:
The talking bulldog at a policeman’s feet turns out to be his late partner.
This is what is known in the business as a SURE THING. This is definitely going in the top of my hey-look-I-just-found-an-actual-working-time-machine to-do list. I want to be in the room where a group of successful, mature, businessmen/adults, (citation needed) take one look at this idea and say, “Fuck it. Let’s make Poochinski.” I can’t believe this actually happened without one or more of the following things present:
A: a sandbox full of cocaine
B: a talking dog that turns out to be recently deceased TV writer
C: the ghost of Peter Boyle’s integrity.
