Lassie, his Dog. One of the many distorted realities of Lassie was the absence of any continuing or regular peer-level pals for the lead human character, Timmie. there was an old Farmer who looked something like Colonel Sanders ( Mr. Cully as I recall) and of course his parents ( for some reason the dad was somewhat distanced, laid back-rarely playing a big role in the plots) No kid side-kicks, quite the opposite of , say Dennis the Menace or even Leave It to Beaver. another oddity was the total absence of any comedy or even wisecacks. Something was dark and dismal about Lassie.

Which lassie series were first the one with Tommy rettig or Jon provost?

Tommy Rettig, as Jeff, was the first owner of Lassie. Jan Clayton played his mother. When he got to old, the story line had Jon Provost cast as being adopted, both by the Martin's and Lassie making the choice to stay with Timmy on the farm. In the original transition, Timmy's mother was played by Cloris Leachman for one eposide. The series with Tommy Rettig was renamed "Jeff's Collie" much later, I guess to separate the two stars. There was also a Canadian "Lassie" series a few years ago with Corey Sevier as Lassie's owner.
