What Was This Show? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm trying to remember the name of this show and it is driving me crazy!

The show was based around this guy and his german shepard who would ride around in the guy's jeep and help folks and solve crimes. One of the things I remember is the big deal they used to make of the guy's car phone. The thing was huge! Back then a car phone was an amazing thing...

Also, what was the name of the dog?

Thanks for the help!

It sounds like Rin Tin Tin (whcih was the show's name and the dog's name) but I'm not 100% sure.

I forgot to specify that this was maybe a mid to late 70's program.

Thanks for the reply!

Then it couldn't have been Rin Tin Tin unless there was a remake that I never heard about! Rin Tin Tin was on in the 50's. I really have no clue as to what show you are referring to! Sorry! I am curious now!

I did a search for The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin to look for related threads to add to that board.

Hopefully PainoMan found the answer, but for the record the show is called Run, Joe, Run. It centered on Joe, a German Shepherd in the military's K-9 corps, and his master, Sergeant Will Corey (played by Arch Whiting). It aired on Saturday mornings on NBC from 1974 to 1975.

There's another thread for it here.
