[xxgazegirlxx]

"What's wrong Lassie, Timmy fall down the well?"

TBBT ftw :)

[LanaV6]

I loved Jeff the best. Had a real crush on him, back in the day. lol 

[councilglasses]

lassie wont be pissing up it like the other shit dog

[ggnzlz2008]

Se me caen los lagrimones !!!

[juanjaquezable]

the vow should've been that they should never fall in wells

[generalninja2]

@juanjaquezable Actually, according to Jon Provost, who of course played Timmy in the '58 to '64 seasons, no one ever actually fell down a well in the series ! I own two beautiful Collies, and whenever my sable and white male ( like Lassie ) starts to bark at me, to get my attention, I always say " What's the matter Lassie, has that dumb kid Timmy fallen down the well again?!!" My dog's name is actually " Copper", but its own own little " inside joke" !!! :)

[richpeck2009]

Correct, Cowgirl, that's Jeff. I guess we're showing our age.

[annabelle2ful]

Funny how the fat kids always had to wear dumg hats like that.

[nanceenurse]

I just started watching the re-runs of the 1st Lassie on TV. I do remember the 2nd one, but love them all!!

[cowgirl41612]

[jordanbarker676]

oh yeah, you can certainatley see for miles! :D

[ji2323]

wow and i thought we had bad acting on youtube. turns out that 50's tv was way worse.

[ColdToiletSeats]

my favorite show ever 

[SPOOKSTR]

I remember that fat fat kid had a special cry...something like ''eee...ork...eeeeeee!!!!''

[orion1077]

don't exclude pokie like that!

[bloodgirl658]

that's not Timmy it's Jeff

[chalomirof63]

First of all, this isn't "Timmy & Lassie"!!! This is the original "Lassie", i.e., "Jeff's Collie", with Tommy Rettig and Donald Keeler as Porky Brockway, and this scene is from an episode called "The Tree House", (2/5/56).

[titanicpiano14]

Check out my rendition of the 1967 Lassie Theme on strings!

[pylgrym]

Tommy Rettig amazing in "The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T"

[kurtsupreme]

This is not TIMMY and Lassie...........this is the original "Lassie" TV show with Tommy Rettig as JEFF. Timmy was the replacement for Jeff after he got to old for the part! This was the GOOD version of the show.............I never could stand Jon Provost who played Timmy, the replacement for Jeff.

[Bnswiss]

"like the indians used to do"

[Carballoca]

Lassie wasn't a female dog she was a HE....lol I preferred Jon Provost in the Lassie series

[MrJastin]

Swell.. *chuckles*

[jenjenlover]

WHATS THAT TIMMYS STUCK INA WELL?

[wiccahexe]

[curtisjones400]

[59cavallo]

Questo video mi fa risalire nella mente tanti ricordi di infanzia.

[mcnegro]

selassie irl

[nightstringers]

this isnt from "Timmy and lassie" this is from the other show that Lassie did "Jeff's Colly"

[bevie29]

Sorry for the typos on the classic media phone numbers. To encourage them to put all the 113 Jeff's collie episodes onto dvds call:

1 212 659 1958

1 212 659 1959. Thanks.

[bevie29]

Besides calling Paramount Home Entertainment Service, you also can call Classic Media at ! 212 1958 or

1859. They have about 12 episodes on 3 different dvds. check amazon etc. This treehouse episode is available on a dvd called Hiya Kids.

[mmassengale]

Terrific info site on all things Lassie esp the TV shows, including all of the theme songs. I always prefered the Jeff shows to the Timmy eps, and the first theme, "The Secret of the Silent Hills," to the more popular "Whistle" theme. Best scene is the closing credits with Jeff walking into the meadow w/Lassie, who runs out and scatters the sheep.

[mmassengale]

and end with org

[superfranthemanfjan]

lassie is the best dog on earth

[meanmaddness]

I always felt that Timmy was an annoying character.

[bevie29]

An update on what to do if you want to see Jeff's collie put on dvd.

Call Paramount home Entertainment customer service. 1-323-956-8509 On their voice mail, simply request that they put all 113 episodes of Jeff's Collie(1954-1957) onto dvd boxed set. CBS told me the old film is probably in the library of congress. 100 requests would make them take notice. Come on Jeff's Collie fans , we can do this.

[lt1fan94]

Man, this was some great tv. Watching the theme song just put a big old smile on my face

[Nestling0]

I remember Jeff well. I had a little girl crush on him. I cried and cried when Jeff had to move away and Timmy's family moved onto the farm. Jeff could not take Lassie with him. That is when Timmy became Lassie's new owner. I remember vividly that very episode because it really broke my 6 year old heart. I wish that all of the Jeff's Collie episodes could be posted somewhere. It is too bad that Tommy Rettig had to pass away so young also.

[alaskanbabe7]

this is jeff's collie, not timmy and lassie.

I loved both shows though :)

[NYCman530]

I think Lassie was smarter than Timmy. He was always getting him out of jams.

[kurtsupreme]

@NYCman530 This isn't that simple Timmy, it's Jeff!!!!

[Vexina]

I remember seeing this episode when it was first aired! something about that blood brother stuff made me warry when he suggested it.

I watched the entire original run of Timmy but not in syndication after that.. so this is a memory found after more than 50 years.

[xxMISZMEISZExx]

OH!

my sociology teacher met tom rettig from lassie.

After his child star time periods, he was no longer hired as an actor and it just kinda faded away.

isnt there a modern lassie?

[fromthesidelines]

Because of the changes in format and cast, the syndicated episodes were retitled, to avoid confusing viewers with first-run "LASSIE" episodes seen on CBS Sunday nights. The 1954-'57 episodes featuring Tommy Rettig and Jan Clayton were seen locally as "JEFF'S COLLIE". The 1958-'64 episodes with Jon Provost, June Lockhart and Hugh Reilly were shown as "TIMMY & LASSIE"...

[kandriamarie]

Please, please someone release all the 100+ original "Jeff's Collie" episodes on dvd. My grandchildren absolutely LOVED the 8 or so, that were released a few years ago. I also want to buy copies for myself!

[handinside]

The episode about "Mean Ol' Dan's Fence" was one of the best episodes on ANY TV series ever--had a wonderful lesson in it.

[KellsMovies]

that's Jeff and his friend Porky building their treehouse. It is not Timmy.

[4everAslave]

That's Tommy Rettig who played Jeff in "Jeff's Collie". Jon Provost came along as Timmy in "Timmy and Lassie".

[gymnastix]

Actually, the program was always called just "Lassie." "Jeff's Collie" and "Timmy & Lassie" were syndication titles.

But you are correct that it is Tommy Rettig ("Jeff Miller") in this video, along with Donald Keeler (a/k/a "Joey D. Vieira"), who played his pal "Sylvester 'Porky' Brockway" in the first four years of "Lassie" which aired Sunday evenings on CBS.

[gymnastix]

Interestingly, Keeler/Viera is a nephew of film & stage actress Ruby Keeler (who was married to vaudevillian and first sound motion picture star Al Jolson), who appeared in the film "42nd Street"; also brother of Ken Weatherwax who played "Pugsley" on "The Addams Family" TV show. Both Keeler/Viera & Weatherwax are also nephews of Rudd Weatherwax, the original trainer of "Lassie" dogs.

[gymnastix]

Also, Jon Provost did not "come along" after Rettig, as his character of "Timmy Marttin" was actually on the show, as a runaway, taken in by the "Millers"--Rettig and Jan Clayton (who played mother "Ellen Miller") and "Gramps" (George Cleveland)--in the last year (1957-58) of episodes starring Rettig & Clayton.

[gymnastix]

Cleveland died in real life, so the show's writers wrote the death of "Gramps" into the storylines. Then the first set of "Martins" (played by Cloris Leachman & Jon Sheppod as "Ruth" & "Paul") adopted "Timmy," which lasted a full year before the more familiar June Lockhart & Hugh Reilly took over the roles of "Timmy's" parents.

[gymnastix]

"Uncle Petrie" was a transitional figure in the period between the two sets of "Martins," giving "Timmy" a grandpa figure like "Gramps," before actor George Chandler was written out of the series, later replaced by the more comical Andy Clyde as neighbor "Cully Wilson," whose chemistry with Provost was superb!

[bevie29]

I also am all for the release of all ofthe Jeff's Collie episodes! Classic Media/Sony Wonder are the people that have the film rights, I believe. I have called and emailed but not received a reply. Any more fans out there please write.

[qwandiddy]

Or that Timmy in his teenager on the 60s episodes.

[X0chels]

thats jeff not timmy
