Where can I spotter Lassie?

Lassie reruns have been broadcast on many channels over the years, peculiarly in afternoon reruns before the news on small contained UHF channels. With the advent of cable and satellite there are additional channels that are or have shown the series, similar CoziTV, TBN, FETV, Pb&J, RTV, Grin of a Child, Angel2, and Grit TV. As of Oct 2017, Lassie is still running on CoziTV and also on FETV, which is an outlet of LeSea Dissemination/Earth Harvest Television. FETV airs on Dish Network and on DirecTV too as cable systems. CoziTV is chiefly an over-the-air broadcast aqueduct. I take non checked Angel2 since they started showing about 100 of the 500-plus episodes in an countless loop.

TVLand in Canada, which so long showed the serial uncut, revamped its schedule and is no longer showing Lassie. Likewise, Canada'due south Pet Network was broadcasting the 1997 Cinar serial at one fourth dimension, but no longer shows information technology.

Sadly, the fifth season of Lassie, which was a staple on Hulu, is no longer being shown by that service.

Where can I buy Lassie on DVD?

Check hither to see what Lassie episodes are available on DVD.

Despite requests from people who would love to own season sets, there are no flavor sets available here in the The states. In that location were flavour sets of the Jeff episodes advertised in Japan for a while (although the listings have been pulled from Amazon.co.jp). There are sets of the ranger episodes in both Germany and France. There is a nine-volume gear up of the compilation movies (movies made from multipart episodes; also see here), plus Magic of Lassie and Lassie: A New Beginning, in United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland.

Here in the U.S. at that place are only the niggling few DVDs Classic Media saw fit to release (run across the "Lassie Movies and Other Media" folio). Fans are hoping the new owners, Dreamworks, may be more forthcoming, but all that has been released so far is a new blithe serial in several European/Middle Eastern countries.

Bootleg sources for the episodes exist online, but please be careful! Showtime off, these sets are illegal. 2nd, since they are illegal and yous buy them and they don't work properly, you have no legal recourse to become your money dorsum or replacement disks, simply are at the mercy of the vendor. I have a contributor who spent over $100 to get 100+ episodes of Lassie from one of these vendors, and the disks do not play properly, and the vendor did non reply to eastward-mails. Caveat emptor is the word of the day with these guys.

Thirdly, you are not going to get all the episodes of the series with these sets. If you don't care and just want some Lassie to satisfy your hunger, that'due south fine, but be forewarned, because many of these bootleg vendors advertise as having "all" the episodes and then number them at 155 or 160 or 166. In that location were 591 episodes in the original serial.

Whatever happened to [name a character or thespian on the series]?

Check out the "Whatever Happened to..." link on the master page. These are facts garnered from the Internet Picture show Database, since I have no contact with the actors on the serial. Jon Provost does have his own website, cited below, and wrote an autobiography, Timmy's in the Well.

How can I contact/go an autograph from [proper name an actor on the series]?

Although I have heard from several people who have worked on/are continued with the serial, I have no connectedness to the series and do not personally know any of the performers; plus, I would not give out email addresses without permission. So I have no idea how you would contact any of the surviving actors from the series. You tin attempt writing to Jon Provost via his website: http://www.jonprovost.com. Bob Weatherwax's official site is now Weatherwax Trained Dogs and autographs may be available via this route, but I don't know for sure. You also may take success at the official site, Lassie.com, but it doesn't appear to have been updated, except for the copyright dates, since 2015.

Autographed photos from the series are also sold on e-Bay besides as other auction sites.

How can I contact Bob Weatherwax / become Lassie to appear at my charity outcome / find out where Lassie is making an appearance?

Bob Weatherwax is no longer associated with the dog considered the "official" Lassie. The "Lassie franchise," every bit it has been termed, was sold and is no longer endemic by the Weatherwax family, and Carol Riggins now handles the official Lassie.

Which Lassie "are they on now"?

The ninth generation Lassie retired after appearing in a cameo role in the Charles Sturridge moving picture Lassie, based on Lassie Come up Home, and released in 2005. He later toured United States promoting a new all-natural dog food.

The 10th generation dog is now the current "Lassie" (every bit far as I know, since Dreamworks is doing nix with the character). The official "Lassie" is owned past Classic Media's successor DreamWorks and tours with Carol Riggins. Bob Weatherwax also owned a tenth generation dog known equally "Laddie" who appeared at shorthand events with Jon Provost and was a "spokesdog" for brute rights issues in California. Bob now handles a dog named Hammer who performs the same service, only they do not announced often as Bob has chronic health problems. (Archetype Media and Bob Weatherwax broke ties...delight don't ask me what happened, as I don't sympathize the legalities. Bob explains it in his book Four Feet to Fame)

Can yous aid me get a copy of a certain Lassie episode?

Probably not. I but have selected episodes, so chances are anything I have won't exist what you want. (I actually simply take Jeff and Timmy episodes.) I also work extended hours and really don't have much free fourth dimension to re-create things. Lastly, I have no manner to exercise so.

Delight check the link on the chief page labeled "Movies/Comics/Other Media." Information technology has a section on Lassie episodes that are available on videotape and DVD or that accept been available on videotape. The ones that are no longer "in print" also may be found on e-Bay as well equally other auction sites. See the Movies and Other Media page for more than details.

Netflix does have some of the movies, but on DVD only (no streaming).

Lastly, yous might check some video sites.

I take a Lassie book/comic/toy, etc. Tin you tell me how much it's worth?

Please don't e-mail me near values of Lassie merchandise; I'll just have to disappoint you by saying I don't know. I don't know values of anything every bit I don't sell any trade, and I don't collect whatever Lassie trade for its value. Yous tin can check out several books to notice out how much your collectible might be worth. There is a comic price guide volume that will give you the prices on all comics. If y'all take one of the little Gilt Books, there is a Golden Book price guide. If you have a Lassie toy, there are toy cost guides. A subject search on "price guides" on a volume site similar Amazon.com would probably discover y'all what y'all're looking for. There's also a book for collectors called The Legacy of Lassie which lists all the known merchandise.

You might likewise check out spider web sale sites like east-Bay and Amazon.com auctions to see what your Lassie piece is selling for. I've gotten several questions well-nigh the Lassie band that was given out as a premium in the tardily 50's (featured in the fourth-season episode "The Ring"). This ring turns upward occasionally on east-Bay. I did read an commodity that suggests this particular has sold "for upwardly to $500." That doesn't mean it is actually valued at that price. There is also a wallet as seen in the episode "One-time Henry."

I sympathise Eric Knight wrote a lot of collie stories. I'd similar to read them. What are their titles and where can I buy them?

As far as I know, Knight only wrote ane dog story, Lassie Come-Home, first equally a short story for The Saturday Evening Post in 1938, and so as a novel in 1940. You may be thinking of Albert Payson Terhune, who did indeed write "a lot of collie books," and who, because he and Knight both wrote virtually a collie protagonist who became extremely well known, is often confused with Eric Knight (a Lassie commodity several years agone in a Florida newspaper did just this and was published without correction). (The two men were at least a generation autonomously, with Terhune the elder.) Terhune'due south first collection of collie stories was Lad: a Canis familiaris (1919), and some of the others were Lad of Sunnybank, The Further Adventures of Lad, Bruce, His Canis familiaris, Treve, Buff: A Collie, A Highland Collie, Lochinvar Luck, Grayness Dawn, and Wolf, although even Terhune'southward non-domestic dog-centric novels usually had a collie in them. You lot may have read ane of his most famous collie curt stories in school or in a collection of dog stories: "One Infinitesimal Longer," which was originally published in 1919 in St. Nicholas magazine. Except for Lad: A Dog, Terhune'southward books are out of print, but you can notice copies on Bookfinder.com.

Here is a peachy Albert Payson Terhune website that includes photos of Sunnybank past and present. The "Books" link has a complete list of all his books, dog-related and non. The "Magazines" page links two articles written by Terhune; the March 26, 1927 story "With a Reverse English" from The Saturday Evening Post contains pictures of the collies. The links are fantabulous, too.

Also, here are the text and pictures from "The Sunnybank Collies" from St. Nicholas magazine, March 1922.

"The Sunnybank Collies," folio 1
"The Sunnybank Collies," page 2
"The Sunnybank Collies," page 3
"The Sunnybank Collies," page 4

Oh, and "One Infinitesimal Longer," which, y'all must admit, has all the elements of a good Lassie story!

Finally, see next question!

Why don't yous list this Lassie movie on your pic list? / I remember these scenes from a Lassie moving picture, only it doesn't seem to become with anything on your picture list, so which movie is it?

The scenes cited from this "missing" Lassie motion picture are typically equally follows:

Lassie rescues a little daughter from a poisonous snake, and the little girl'southward mother/some adult female beats Lassie for attacking the child because she didn't see the snake. Turns out Lassie was the one who was bitten by the snake. She wanders into the forest, is given upwardly for dead, simply returns later all covered in mud. The mud has drawn the snake's poison out of the seize with teeth.
The wife of the couple who own Lassie gets very sick and is taken care of by a nurse. The nurse and Lassie hate each other, and when the wife is well once more, Lassie tears the nurse'south uniform off the clothesline and drags it around the thousand.
Lassie is in a dog show and has to exercise some fancy obedience routine to beat another collie. The homo handling the other collie has a cigar in his manus which confuses the dog, and then while Lassie does very badly, she still wins.
In that location is a fire in the barn and Lassie's puppies are killed.

You won't discover any description like that in the Lassie moving-picture show list because it's not a Lassie movie at all. In 1962, Warner Brothers adapted Albert Payson Terhune's (see higher up) novel Lad: A Domestic dog into a color movie. Angela Cartwright, who was then starring as Linda on Danny Thomas' pop Make Room for Daddy television series, plays Angela, the little daughter endangered by the ophidian, and Carroll O'Connor, later to gain Television immortality as Archie Bunker, played her snooty rich begetter, Hamilcar Q. Glure. He is the human with the cigar handling "the other collie" in the obedience contest. Lad'due south owners (named the Tremaynes rather than the Terhunes) were played by Peter Breck (later Nick in the long running television series The Big Valley) and Peggy McCay. All of the situations in the movie are adapted from the book, although things are changed to make a cohesive narrative: for instance, in the book, the little girl saved by Lad is not given a name, and she is non related to Hamilcar Q. Glure. At that place is no "Piffling Lad" puppy, just "Wolf."

I don't retrieve if the credits say who trained "Lad"—it might be a collie from the Weatherwax kennels—but this is certainly not Lassie, every bit the collie in the story has no bonfire at all.

Notation: The adult female in the snake scene is motherless Angela's nurse and is played by Alice Pearce, who subsequently became well-known to Bugged fans for portraying snoopy Mrs. Kravitz. And, oh, only i of "Lassie's puppies" dies in the burn.

Warner Brothers has released Lad: A Dog on DVD simply recently.

What episodes do these syndication titles correspond with: Jeff'south Collie, Timmy and Lassie, and Lassie?

Seasons ane through three and the first 13 episodes of Season 4 are syndicated as Jeff's Collie. The residual of Season iv through Flavour 10 are marketed under the title Timmy and Lassie. When the 3-office story "The Wayfarers" (opening Season xi) are shown as private episodes rather than a picture show, they are also syndicated with the Timmy and Lassie parcel. Lassie consists of the residual of Season 11 all the way through the end of the series (includes the Corey Stuart, Bob Erickson/Scott Turner, Lassie-on-her-own, and Holden Ranch episodes).

How many episodes of the original series were made? I see dissimilar numbers for the totals.

The total of episodes probably differs because many episodes have been pulled from the syndication lineup to brand Lassie "movies," multiparters like "Lassie, Expect Homeward" and "Lassie the Voyager" along with similarly-themed episodes that became The Adventures of Neeka or Flight of the Cougar, etc. Thus the episode count is coming upwards from the episodes remaining in the syndication circuit.

Full episodes circulate were 591. Cleaved downwardly:

103 with Jeff Miller
13 with Jeff and Timmy (the "transitional" episodes) ¤ 27 with Timmy (Cloris Leachman/Jon Shepodd equally parents) (40 fourth season total)
209 with Timmy Martin (June Lockhart/Hugh Reilly every bit parents)
125 with Corey Stuart
50 with Scott Turner and/or Bob Erickson
22 on her ain
44 at the Holden Ranch

Where'southward Calverton? (a.chiliad.a. Where did Lassie take identify?)

The Miller/Martin farm is anywhere you'd like to imagine it.

Information technology's very hard to pick out where in the United States the subcontract episodes Lassie was presumed to take place, and that was probably deliberate: and so that people could imagine she was in their ain backyards. An early description of the series talks about "the adventures of a male child and his dog on a small Midwestern subcontract." All the Jeff episodes and the early on Timmy stories characteristic a mixed-range type area with fields broken by stands of trees, including the infamous wood almost the subcontract. Subsequently episodes used a network of outcropping rocks ("Deadly Goats," for example, "The Rescue," "The Blackness Sheep," etc.) that look naught like the earlier landscape, much more western.

Fifty-fifty the radio stations mentioned give us no clues. In general, radio stations with call letters beginning with "W" are located east of the Mississippi, radio stations with call letters starting time with "K" are located west of the Mississippi (although at that place are exceptions earlier this practice was standardized, such equally Pittsburgh's KDKA). Radio stations with both "Due west" phone call letters and "Thou" call letters are mentioned on the serial.

The Calverton streets Timmy walks are clearly a set. However, the streets of nearby Capitol (Capital letter? Information technology's spelled both ways) City often look like they were filmed on real streets, i.e. the hospital in the Jeff episode "The Journey," the infirmary in "A Specialist for Lassie," etc. All the same, the expanse of the country was never given, unlike in the Holden Ranch episodes, in which city scenes were clearly indicated equally being filmed in Solvang, California.

(Indeed, Calverton is definitely not in California, as so many articles state. In "The Christmas Story"—the 1960 episode—the Dennis children tell Timmy that their father is taking them to California. Timmy then remarks, "Gosh, my dad is ever talking about going to California." (Italics mine.) Later, when Timmy tells Ruth about the family, he comments, "That auto of theirs will never make it to California," implying that the state is some distance abroad. In add-on, in a 3rd season episode with Jeff and a 5th season episode with Timmy, an apple tree tree is shown that was planted past John Chapman, "Johnny Appleseed." Chapman had a colorful history which can be researched online. However, Chapman planted apple tree trees only in what was the frontier during his adulthood: the Northwest Territories. This area later became function of the states of Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. Chapman also planted trees in Western Pennsylvania. Thus, if an apple tree tree planted by Johnny Appleseed is almost the farm, it must be in one of those places.)

The private season guide pages besides talk about where Calverton may—or may not!—exist.

The series filmed in various locations over the years. The ii "pilot" episodes "Inheritance" and "The Well" were plain filmed in British Columbia. The Jeff and early Timmy episodes were filmed on the aforementioned ranch where Fury filmed, the Iverson Flick Ranch in Chatsworth, California. Later episodes were filmed at the Franklin Canyon Reservoir area in the Santa Monica Mountains of California, besides a location for series like Bonanza and The Andy Griffith Show. A correspondent tells me the Grand Oaks surface area was also used for filming, as was Vasquez Rocks and the Beverly Hills Reservoir. Looking at a site for the Clark Fork River in the Stanislaus National Forest in Modesto, California, it looks very familiar and may have been the site of several Lassie episodes taking place near a river.

However nosotros practice know where that cute landscape behind Lassie in the syndicated titles might be. Dustin Carpenter noticed that the superlative looked familiar and idea information technology might be Mount Hood in Oregon. He wrote to a friend who works in the lodge at that place and confirmed that information technology is indeed Mountain Hood.

Although the ranger episodes were publicized past CBS equally showing "the beauty of nature in the U.s.a.," most episode were still filmed on the same picture ranch every bit the later Timmy episodes, Vasquez Rocks was often utilized for episodes, and likewise a big pasture with trees in it that seemed to have been around since the Timmy episode "The Wild Horse." However, many other ranger episodes were filmed on location, such as well-nigh of "Lassie the Voyager" (Florida, Virginia/Colonial Williamsburg, North Carolina/Sliding Rocks/Biltmore House, New Orleans), "Fury at Current of air River" (Lake Bonneville), "Ride the Mountain" (Columbia Gorge), "More Meets the Middle" (San Bernardino National Forest Braille trail), etc.

What was the make and model of the truck used on Lassie?

I'one thousand not a car person! The cars and trucks were provided past Chrysler at to the lowest degree through the Timmy and later on episodes; if you await at the credits it has a notation mentioning this. So the cars are Chryslers; pretty sure the trucks are Dodges, since Chrysler owns Dodge and I don't believe Chrysler itself ever had a truck division. I take never seen a model name on any of them; perchance someone else has seen an ID.

Alfred Gruhler sent me an informative e-mail about the cars—in the Jeff episodes they were non Chryslers. He says "[T]he Miller's car is a 1949 Ford while Granddaddy' pickup is a 1941 Ford."

Of other interest from Alfred: "The Millers' phone is manufactured past the 'Kellogg Switchboard & Supply Co.' of Chicago. Kellogg manufactured phones for the contained (not Bell Arrangement) phone companies."

Dustin Carpenter adds this information about Ruth's sedan: "Ruth'due south sedan is a 1957 Dodge Coronet. You can read the chrome script CORONET above the passenger front end cycle opening in the episode "The Coating."

Other vehicle trivia:

The later episode Martin truck was blue and white: white at the top to the level of the truck bed and and so stake blue beneath. Corey'south Forest service truck was dark-green with a white roof.

98-81304: Gramps' truck license plate number.

2A4323: License plate of the Martin automobile (at to the lowest degree in "Lassie's Guest"; the prop department may have popped any one-time license plate on the automobile in other episodes).

Corey's license plate number is A113393 in ane episode and A105004 in another, so nosotros know he wasn't always using the same truck!

Some other "repeating vehicle": Dustin Carpenter adds "A 'white' (I don't know because information technology is B&W) 1960 Ford Country Squire station wagon appears in Timmy & Lassie so far equally I know twice in the series. In Flavor 9 , 'Desperate Search,' Mr. Brownish (Andy's father) drives the car. In 'Habitation Inside A Dwelling house,' (the very adjacent episode!) the gas line surveyors have the same machine." I believe that same car also appears as Doc Weaver'southward car in several episodes.

How many times did Lassie "take puppies" on the serial?

Since all the collies portraying Lassie have been males (see the Lassie facts page for the reason why), of course Lassie actually didn't accept whatever litters, although each Lassie was the sire of the adjacent collie to take over the function. Nonetheless, the character of Lassie did accept a litter several times inside the story. She has a litter in "Lassie's Pups," a Jeff episode. She likewise has puppies that are being given away at the starting time of second season; this is probably a unlike litter. All the puppies are given abroad except for Laddie, who is only seen in one other episode ("The Ingather Duster"). Another of one of her puppies, Comet, is featured in the episode "The Marauder" (he appears to be from the same litter as Laddie).

Lassie has at to the lowest degree 3 litters during the Timmy years, the starting time two in "The Puppy Story" and "Puppy Sitters." Blacktail, one of the members of the litter born in "The Puppy Story," returns at the beginning of seventh season in an episode entitled (surprise! <g>) "Blacktail." Lassie also gives birth in the episode "Lassie and the Eagle."

The only other litter mentioned is at the beginning of the seventeenth flavour, in the seven part sequence, "The Saga of Lassie'southward Puppies." Lassie's encounter with a male collie named Knuckles in "Lassie'south Interlude" leaves her in "a family unit mode." The showtime of 3 puppies is given away to a niggling boy named Kerry in "The Miracle" ("Dingaroo"), the 2nd to the male child Davey in "The Offering" ("Dusty"), and the 3rd to a little girl in "Nature's Child" (sex and name unknown).

Lassie also had a litter of puppies at to the lowest degree once in The New Lassie (ane was given to Mrs. Chadwick, who turned out to exist a remarried Ruth Martin) and at least once in the Cinar series (the series finale, "Graduation").

What was it that Jeff and Porky used to yell to each other when they met?

The weep was "Eee-Yaw-Kee!", which, a correspondent of Tom Rettig told me, was something that Tom and his friends used to yell to each other back in Rettig'due south erstwhile neighborhood.

Did Gramps/George Cleveland actually dice on the show?

The grapheme of Grandad died on the series considering George Cleveland died in real life (but, no, he did not really dice on the set; I believe I read that he had the center assault while playing golf). Initially, Gramps was supposed to severely hurt himself, which is why the Millers would have had to surrender the farm. When he died the producers fabricated the conclusion to accept Grandfather die likewise. (See my note on the controversy this caused at CBS at the acme of the quaternary season folio.)

What happened to Uncle Petrie?

Uncle Petrie was planned as a "Gramps" type character, but he didn't work out and was quietly dropped from the series without explanation after fifth season (although he appears out of nowhere in the sixth season story "In Example of Emergency," in which information technology'south explained he'due south visiting). In the outset episode with Petrie, it was explained he was just there temporarily to help Paul get started on the farm.

Later in the series Cully Wilson became Timmy'southward friend and surrogate grandfather.

Other television shows are always making jokes about Timmy beingness trapped in a well. Which episode was that?

Non to disappoint you—and all the writers who have milked this joke for years—but the answer is "none"! For years he archetype Lassie joke has been this: "Bark! Bark-bark! Bark!" "What is it, Lassie?" "Bark! Bark-bark-bark! Bark-bark!" "What, Timmy'south fallen in the well?" Information technology's such a classic jibe that Jon Provost's autobiography was entitled Timmy's in the Well.

Equally far every bit I can meet, of the dangerous things that could happen to him, Timmy:
...let a rabid dog out of a cage ("Graduation")
...accidentally ate deadly nightshade berries thinking they were huckleberries ("Berrypickers")
...was threatened by an escaped female circus elephant ("The Elephant")
...hides out in the treehouse when he has pneumonia ("Spartan")
...was threatened past a mother wolf ("The Wolf Cub")
...falls into the lake ("Transition" and "The House Guest")
...develops a high fever from the measles ("The Crisis")
...is almost shot by Paul ("Hungry Deer")
...ignores severe tum pains; he'due south diagnosed with appendicitis so gets chicken pox ("Infirmary")
...is trapped in an abandoned business firm with Boomer ("Trapped")
...wanders into a live mine field ("Inferior GIs")
...is menaced by a acquit ("Campout" and "The Renegade")
...is trapped in an abandoned mine ("Old Henry")
...gets a black eye playing football ("Growing Pains")
...nearly flies a habitation-made glider off a cliff ("Flying Machine")
...runs into a burning house to salve a neighbor lady and passes out ("The Whopper")
...is endangered past dynamite picked up by an escaped lab chimp ("The Homo from Mars")
...is locked in a shed with Lassie by an armed robber ("Star Reporter")
...runs away from home believing he and a friend killed someone ("Alias Jack and Joe")
...is exposed to radiation ("Space Traveler")
...gets trapped on a cliff with Rudy and Don ("Explorers")
...is threatened past Sam Burke's new German Shepherd canis familiaris ("The Killer")
...is trapped in a pipe ("Wrong Gift")
...is caught in quicksand during a camping trip ("The Fog")
...is trapped on a ledge while hunting for a missing ewe ("The Rescue")
...is out in the woods hunting a dangerous tiger which he believes is tame ("The Gentle Tiger")
...is saved by Lassie from a falling beam in an old mission ("Swallows of Los Pinos")
...is tossed out of a go-cart and knocked out ("Big Race")
...is threatened past a bull ("White-Faced Bull")
...has his human foot trapped between two railroad cars while looking for a lost dog ("Niggling Cabbage")
...comes confront-to-face with a rabid dog that wanders in the farmyard ("The Mad Dog")
...is trapped in a fire picket belfry with Ruth ("The Burn down Watchers")
...is near trampled by a carnival-attraction ostrich that'southward protecting her egg ("The Ostrich")
...is trapped in an abandoned mine with Cully ("Fool'south Gold")
...freezes while on a narrow path at the Grand Canyon ("Lassie at the Chiliad Canyon")
...is threatened by a killer collie ("Mysterious Intruder")
...is trapped in a badger hole ("Badger Game")
...is caught in a leg trap during a thunderstorm ("Heat Wave")
...is knocked out ("Hike")
...is stalked past a presumably dangerous tiger ("Lassie and the Tiger")
...is exposed to anthrax when i of Paul'due south new goats comes down with the affliction ("Deadly Goats")
...runs away with a new friend who'due south homesick for his quondam carnival life ("A Career for Lassie")
...with Lassie, is carried off in a balloon, must survive in the wilderness, and almost drowns ("The Journey")
...is attacked by an Army baby-sit dog ("Silver Soldier")
...nigh drowns ("Disappearance" role 1)
...is caught in an earthquake and threatened by a dam spillover ("Moving Mountain")
...is struck by a hit and run driver ("Hit'n'Run")

And then of course the big joke is that never in one case has this kid e'er fallen into a well! Paul most fell into the well in "Her Master's Voice," and Uncle Petrie fell down a hole which was assumed to be an old well in "The Crow," but never Timmy. The only primary character in the Lassie series, in fact, who really ever roughshod down a well was Lassie herself, in Season 17's "Well of Beloved," a.k.a. "For the Love of Lassie."

What happened to Corey Stuart?

Plainly the character of Corey never recovered from his burns to return to merits Lassie. In reality, Robert Bray had to get out the serial. He had a worsening booze problem and then had an accident related to his alcoholism and had to retire from the evidence.

What happened to Scott and Bob?

We never found out. Season 17 opens with Lassie on her own with no explanation; even had they shown the episodes in the correct order—see the note on "A Twelvemonth of Sundays" on the Flavour 17 web page—it doesn't have appeared to clear up the mystery. In the episode "The River," someone raises the question of who Lassie belongs to, and the response is "Oh, I guess to everyone who needs her," and in "Nature'southward Child," when Jody's father asks why Lassie isn't staying with her puppy, Jody responds that Lassie is "searching for something" and she will know it when she finds it.

Was Uncle Steve on The New Lassie really supposed to be Timmy?

The mode the story postulated it, yep: when the Martins moved to Australia, they hadn't properly adopted Timmy (uh-huh—after seven years!) and he was removed from their custody. Embittered, he started going past his centre proper name, Steven. He was then adopted by the McCullough family. Ruth Martin later turned up at the McCullough domicile nether a new married name, Mrs. Chadwick. (Read my note well-nigh this improbable plot device in The New Lassie entry.)
