K-9000

K-9000. Kim Manners, dir. USA: De Souza Productions. (c) 1989, by Fries Entertainment, Inc. Fox TV, July 1991.

Apparently a pilot for a series that was never picked up, featuring a cop paired with K-9000: the prototype CATCH animal developed for Cybernetic Action-Team(s): Canine/Human. Pairing occurs when the cop gets implanted with a "microchip receiver" that puts him into telepathic contact with the dog. Cf. A BOY AND HIS DOG for the telepathy, and the TERMINATOR films for the visuals from the dog's point of view; note also Doctor Who's K-9 (all listed in this Category of the List).
