The basic cycle of programs ran about l9 years without counting reruns- this goes from the Jeff Morrow character, to the familiar Lockhart-Provost Lassie up to and inluding the Forest Ranger version which turned many viewers off as the plots got excessively doggy and not at all kid-oriented, as were the Timmy angles.

To the best of my knowledge no Oscar ( academy award) has ever been awarded to an Animal. Lassie was a Collie. several dogs, were of necessity, involved for different types of stunts- Lassie fighting a more dangerous animal was of course done with trick photography as were forest fire scenes, etc. the ASPCA would not permit the Dog to be in real life-threartening peril. preoccupation with downbeat subjects turned many adult viewers off. Lassie ( TV version- Provost-Lockhart) had overtones of situation tragedy- and the program was DEVOID of any humor, even wisecracks.
