The New Lassie (Season 2 Eps.23)

[@MrVwxyz2223242526]

What a finale for the series--flashbacks from the original boys owning Lassie! Kudos for such a grand exit!

[@KGMaz]

This makes me so happy, the original lassie was something me and my mom watched every day

[@westerntraveler2835]

Lassie, Timmy (Uncle Steve), AND Jeff----all together in one episode! It doesn't get any better than this!!

[@hgwilt1]

Just like in the original series in season for 1957 I watched reruns on TV in the 80s on Nickelodeon. Now 25 years later they meet up again 1992

[@KentPetersonmoney]

@@hgwilt1 Same with me but I use to watch reruns in the 90's. I do remember a couple of Timmy friends

[@kristabrewer9363]

Yea it does; if Ruth had've been in it

[@bingbangbongmukbang3015]

I loved this show!!! It's so amazing to see it again

[@alexandria62753]

Wow! it's very touching to see them both together again Timmy and Jeff..plus Lassie..oh memories:-) I love it! watching from Germany!

[@hgwilt1]

It's really interesting that a couple of reunions on this show between, Timmy and Andrew, (Jon and Roddney), and Ruth and Timmy (Jon and June), and now Jeff and Timmy (Tommy and Jon). It's wonderful that; these reunions they are now working with the 7th Generation Lassie dog (The Old Man) who played Lassie. Past dogs Pal, Lassie Jr, Baby, Spook, Mier, Hey Hey and previous owner and trainer Rudd Weatherwax RIP... and Bob is carrying on the torch with Lassie dogs 7th-9th generation dogs The Old Man 1989 Howard 1994 and Laddie 1997.

[@kristabrewer9363]

Who was Andrew on Lassie? I'm 47, and I just got done watching Lassie for the first time. I started a few months ago and this is my last episode. But I don't remember any Andrew on the show

Poor doofus. Signing up is that same being chosen.

[@videox222ify]

I always felt that Jan Clayton who was the first mom on the TV series was truly the best and June Lockhart was wonderful too. There was such a warmness to them and Dee Wallace has it too, she is great. Cloris Leachman I felt was very badly miscast as Timmy's mom because she did not have any of the same qualities as the other moms did. I always suspected that the reason wny Leachman was cast was only because she looked a little bit like Jan Clayton.

[@susancallahan6732]

idont think she was qualified

[@Tornado1994]

@@susancallahan6732 The New Lassie was played by a Male Collie who's name was never disclosed.

[@trevorcollins4464]

So Tommy Rettig was a bottle blond? I never would have guessed. Of course, the original was in black and white back then.

[@trailersfromhell2539]

Unfortunately, this wasn't very well written, along with the Roots episode. In terms of the canon, it makes no sense. Timmy adopted? It makes no sense that the Martins would have taken care of Timmy for years, to not make sure he was legally adopted. Lassie was passed on to Cully and then Corey. Why? How did they get a hold of any descendants of the Timmy era lassie if this lassie is in the same bloodline? If Timmy remained in the US, and this Lassie follows the same line, he would have had to gotten hold of one. And then Ruth serves a court order to claim some sort of ownership of Lassie, 20-25 years after giving up the dog? Come on. They could have easily made a canon reference to the Timmy and Jeff era without tangling it up in logical inconsistencies.

[@kevinstephenson4674]

Stop trying to tie up imaginary strands. It was explained in an earlier episode. It was all about linking Jon Provost with both series. Roddy Mcdowall appeared in one episode, having also been in the original film.. Take this for.whar it was. Quality family entertainment with a good moral.ethic.

[@trailersfromhell2539]

@@kevinstephenson4674 But it didn't come across as belivable. Also, Roddy McDowall appeared as a different character than in the original film.

[@kristabrewer9363]

The episode with June Lockhart was why this show was canceled. Viewers called in and complained that there was no way the Martin's would leave the country and not take their son

[@nicoletravis8702]

I agree with this

[@susanfit47]

Why did they went back to the 1982-1991 MCA TV logo on the 3rd and final season (1991-1992 episodes) of The New Lassie instead of the 1991-1994 MCA TV CGI Globe II logo?

[@nicoletravis8702]

What if Ellen adopted Timmy

[@nicoletravis8702]

Whatever happened to Porky?

[@JoanCrawfordsghost]

Sad Timmy n Lassie ea were rehomed many times. How could little Timmys 2nd adoptive parents screw it up again n not have proper paperwork n move without him or Lassie to Australia? As many times as that dog saved their hides it was unconscionable to me. I know... just a show.. but it really messed me up.

does anyone know why Jeff gave Lassie to timmy in the fourth season?

[@leopoldstotch644]

This is from memory, but I think it was because the actor George Cleveland (who played Jeff's grandpa) died, and it was decided to end the series on the premise that Grandpa had died (again, this is from old memories). Jeff and his mom made plans to move to the city (perhaps they sold Gramp's farm after his death), and they gave Lassie to the Martins, the new family who was taking over their farm.

[@nicoletravis8702]

​@@leopoldstotch644 how come Porky wasn't in this episode? Whatever happened to Porky?

[@lennon1252]

Because Tommy Rettig was tired of doing the series and his contract was up. He was also to big.

[@debiear]

Sappy music, boring, tedious scripts and horrendous acting. This series does the whole Lassie franchise a terrible disservice! The only good thing about it is the dog!

[@sheikowi]

Hate to diss, but this was the first of this new series I watched. Poorly written and cast. Possibly appropriate for L.A., but not for romantics. Even the interesting idea of reuniting Jeff & Timmy was wasted on this episode. Jeff's Lassie trumps!
