Jon Provost also wrote his memoirs titled "Timmy's in the Well", in which he actually admits that in all the tangles Timmy got himself into, he never actually fell in a well.

However, did Timmy ever get stuck on the roof? After all Lassie's vocabulary was limited..."roof roof".

I am so sorry.

i haven't seen lassie since i was a kid, but it is on again in syndication and i have been watching it, i never thought of it then, but after re-watching the show as an adult, i'm thinking My God! what has happened to this Country and the Morals,Innocence,Values & Simpler times of Life. it made me wish for those times again.

Would anyone here happen to know which episodes of Lassie did CBS air on Saturday mornings in the 1965-66 season?

Timmy and Lassie.

'65-'66 was the first full season of the ranger era (also the 1st season in color), so that aired on Sunday nights, with old T & L episodes on Saturday mornings.
 
In an attempt to try to get this thread back on track...

Which era of Lassie is your favorite?

1. Jeff's Collie
2. Timmy & Lassie
3. Ranger years
4. Alone/Ranch years

The Ranger years, only because it's the first era I saw in syndication.
 
How many Lassie movies have there been?
Did Eric Knight, who wrote the original novel, have any say in the storyline of the TV series? The novel and the series have little in common.
I actually read the book as a girl. Truthfully, it's too long and somewhat boring in places.

Knight lived from 1897-1943, so he died before the 1st movie (based on his novel) came out, much less the TV show.
 
Then there was Dennis Markuze aka "David Mabus"... who got tossed in a Canadian loony bin for death threats against P.Z. Myers, James Randi and others, peppered with screeds about "boobquakes" and a fetish for Nostradamus and Depeche Mode.

Anyway, Eric Knight was known for stories of Yorkshire; I recall reading "All Yankees Are Liars," a short story about an American who tells several Yorkshiremen about life in the US, and they don't believe him when he tells the truth - only when he embellishes his tale do they believe him. Knight introduced Lassie in the novel "Lassie Come-Home.' I never understood the reason for the hyphen; I saw two different printings of the book at an antiques shop and both had the hyphen in the title.
