"But... me and Ben have plans."

Ha! those lines are hilarious!

If they were to do a movie called "Gentle Ben -- Midlife Crisis" with Clint Howard as the divorced and disgruntled former park ranger (lost his job d/t budget cuts) and Ben (who, like Lassie, should be as perennial as the grass) I would totally watch it.

He could still pretty much stick to the same three lines.

You could even re-use the theme song to 'Ben' by Michael Jackson.

Chuck Lorre, I hope you're reading this.

The 'Ben' you're thinking about with Jackson's song, was a pet mouse in I believe the movie 'Willard'. The opening and closing theme to 'Gentle Ben' was an instrumental song.

Willard was a rat.
