Reviews

Tequila and Bonetti received mixed reviews during its original run in 1992. While some critics praised the chemistry between Jack Scalia and his four-legged co-star, others found the premise too cheesy and predictable. The Los Angeles Times described the show as 'a lighthearted buddy cop series with a twist', giving it a rating of 3.5/5. On the other hand, The New York Times criticized the show's lack of depth in character development, rating it a mere 2/5. Despite the varying opinions, Tequila and Bonetti managed to attract a loyal fan base who enjoyed its light-hearted approach to crime-solving and the lovable dynamic between the human and canine leads.
