(More customer reviews)The occasional LASSIE episode releases Classic Media is giving us are like doling out eyedropper doses of water to a thirsty person. This disk contains three episodes having to do with mother love. In "The Runt," a second season Jeff episode, Lassie protects her remaining puppy by hiding it in a mine. In "The Wrong Gift," Timmy's Mother's Day gift is swapped with Willy Brewster's, and he has to find a way to repay the extra money that Willy's gift cost. (Willy's mom is played by series producer and former child star Bonita Granville Wrather.) "Lassie's Wild Baby" has Lassie mothering a cougar kitten (played by a Siamese kitten; VERY obvious). An interesting note: Jane Darwell of GRAPES OF WRATH fame plays the woman giving away kittens. These three episodes are syndication copies, but fairly complete and nice looking. But there is a stunning bonus feature on this DVD. The pilot episode to the LASSIE series were originally two filmed episodes: "Inheritance," which shows how Jeff came into possession of Lassie, and "The Well," an example of a typical episode. The dog who appears in the story is not "Lassie Jr.," who did the rest of the series, but "Pal," the original Lassie from the movies. Recently someone at Classic Media found a real gem in the LASSIE archives: a complete uncut, COLOR copy of "The Well," so for the first time you can see the Miller home and farm in color.
My advice to Classic: keep mining those archives for the uncut copies of the original shows and GIVE US SEASON SETS. Please!
