The Canine series had a number of peculilarities in some cases unique for a juvenile program. For one thing it was chemically devoid of any comedy, even wisecracks such as (All"s well that ends well) used in some sci-fi entries. ALL of the plots went downhill the dog would get lost ( all too often) action would be cut off at a critical juncture in the plot and the usual surfeit of forest fires, animal and human entrapments, people caught in wells, and so on. accidents aplenty if not anonymous it was heavy going for a juvenile show and the direction was such to pour on the lachrymotor overdrive and send kiddies reaching for their handkerchiefs, there are solid arguments against this downbeat stuff. finally it seemed the Timmy ( or Lockhart/Provost Lassie -the boy had no friends in his own age group, it was understood through side glances at a quite modern electric clock the kid went to school and would come home around 3 PM. He never seemed to have any pals outside of the dog. very strangle admixture of morbid plots the implied but never directly stated poverty angle, and a total absense of any comedy or light stuff.l very strange for a juvenile program and an apparently popular one.
