Lassie Season 17-THE ALONE YEAR.


Season 17 THE ALONE YEAR-For reasons not explained Lassie is no longer tied to Bob and Scott. The season leads her away from the rangers and on her own. The episodes are shown out of order and having watched the season I have tried to put in order of how the episodes should be viewed.

Ep 1 THE AWAKENING (shown as episode 18)-the woman of house knows Lassie and says Lassie 'has the run of the house whenever she wants it”.

Ep 2 THE RIVER (shown as episode 16) Lassie helps 2 boys caught in the rapids and the ranger knows her and when asked who she belongs to he says “Oh I guess whoever needs her.”

Ep 3 A YEAR OF SUNDAYS (shown as episode 12) Lassie meets a drifter named Mark.

The Saga of Lassie's Pups

Ep 4 LASSIE'S INTERLUDE (shown as episode 1) Lassie and Mark meet the Pearsons and Duke the collie

Ep 5- THE BIRTH, THE SURVIVAL, THE MIRACLE, THE INNOCENTS,
THE OFFERING, NATURE'S CHILD,
follow the rest of the season in order.

There are two 2-part episodes HERE COMES GLORY with Ron Howard (she spends at least 2-3 months there) and FOR THE LOVE OF LASSIE with previous characters trying to help Lassie. (where Lassie returns to where she left a pup and somehow they know her name).

FLOCK OF LOVE, ANY HEART IN THE STORM, GENTLE DAWN and OTHER PASTURES OTHER FENCES are interesting and sentimental stories.

TROUBLED WATERS is the least interesting finding Lassie near the ocean and out-of -place in the timeline.

The episode LASSIE'S BUSY DAY takes scenes from THE PROTECTORS (season 13 episode 20)

the final episode (of the season and CBS) is SNEAKERS which takes scenes LASSIE THE VOYAGER (season 13 episodes 9 and 10).
