A little lacking ^ Okay - I love lassie as much as the next person - and I was really excited that we were going to introduce our children to a show my husband and I loved as children - but I have to say - the best of lassie's subject matter was about as exciting as watching paint dry -- if anyone is trying to do this for their kids - I would suggest buying something like the first season of flipper - was fantastic - my kids (10 and 6) loved it
Doesn't go far enough ^ I've had to take away two stars off because the producers of this DVD did not give a season one, two, three etc. of these Lassie TV episodes. It was Tommy Rettig who first played as Jeff Miller in the Lassie TV show, later to be followed by John Provost. When Tommy Rettig started to become too big and old for the TV series, he was replaced by John Provost. It was a nice transition from Tommy Rettig to John Provost. I loved the Lassie series as much as any kid back in the late 1950's to early 1960's. So I make an appeal to the producers of Lassie. Please put out DVD's of the seasons of the Lassie TV show.
Good, wholesome shows ^ This is a wonderful family show. The only thing I didn't like about these episodes is that Lassie didn't do enough stuff. She is so amazing in a lot of her shows. But overall, they are good, wholesome shows with a good storyline; just not the Best of the Lassie Shows.
classic family viewing... ^ nicely reproduced in great clarity, these are heart-warming stories for the whole family from an era that no longer is with us. Parents can watch these with their children without having to mute, fastforward, or even "ear muff" the kids. My 5 year old and 7 year old love the shows and we are collecting as many as we can. This and the "Christmas" collection are a joy to own...
Three Delightful Episodes from "Lassie" ^ You won't be disappointed with these episodes! Two episodes are from 1958 and the third from 1960. All episodes feature June Lockhart, Jon Provost, and Hugh Reilly. All episodes are b/w.
In the first episode (1958), Lassie falls in love with an old rocking chair. When the Martins send the chair to an auction, Lassie finds a way to get it back!
In episode two (1958), Timmy's Peace Patrol funds are stolen and Lassie uses her tracking skills to capture the thief. The Lone Ranger appears in the finale to congratulate Timmy for his success. Yippee!
In episode three (1960), Timmy and his mother visit the Grand Canyon. Timmy ventures onto a dangerous ledge alone but Lassie and a blind musician guide Timmy to safety.
The dvd is of excellent quality. The third episode includes wonderful location shots of the Grand Canyon. These are warm, wonderful stories that will delight all viewers.
