Those Of a Certain Advanced Age May Fondly Remember the Adventures Of a Heroic Dog Named Rin Tin Tin. Now Their Great Grandchildren Can Look Forward To the New Adventures of Rin’s Grand-Nephew, Cliff.


Coming this fall, The New Adventures of Cliff Tin Tin.  Sounds like wholesome family entertainment, no doubt. 

 In that same spirit, I have a few suggestions.  In an attempt to broaden the show’s appeal, perhaps the writers could introduce a love interest for Cliff … I think her name should be Booty.  Every week, Cliff and Booty could perform inspirational acts of heroism, most public, but some, no doubt, private!  And if it all works out as I envision in my mind, towards the end of the first season, Booty may become known as Booty Tin Tin. … and maybe eventually, as America falls in love with her, Booty TT for short. 

This sounds almost perfect to me.  But I don’t really trust scriptwriters – they’d probably screw it up by naming Cliff’s love interest “Ethel” or something like that.  Ethel Tin Tin?  Ethel TT?  That just doesn’t grab me.  And I don’t think it’d grab America.
