Here's Boomer is an American adventure/drama series produced by Paramount that aired on the NBC beginning in March 1980. A television movie called A Christmas for Boomer aired on December 6, 1979 and served as the pilot. The show ran for two seasons, ending its run in August 1982. The final original episode, "Flatfoots," aired on July 3 of that year.

Synopsis

The series followed the adventures of Boomer, a stray dog that traveled around helping people in trouble. The part of Boomer in all of the shows was played by a mixed-breed dog named Johnny, whose appearance was primarily that of a terrier. One early title considered for the series was Here's Johnny, after the dog who played the part, which was rejected owing to the use of that catch-phrase on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Johnny had a stunt dog, named Boomer J, who stood in for him on some of his more difficult tricks. As with human stunt actors and the stars for whom they double, the scenes featuring Boomer J were filmed at a distance to minimize the visual differences between him and Boomer.
