 My review about "Jeff's collie" Aug 07, 2006
I found this DVD to be very interesting. I would love to have a dog that could do as many tricks as Lassie. This is a good DVD for those who want a show about drama, as well as those who just like dogs. I started watching this show (well at least the reruns of this show) earlier this year on a channel called WHT and automatically fell in love. This DVD is a good way to be able to see eposides that maybe you've never seen before.They don't play Jeff's Collie on WHT anymore,but with this DVD you can still watch it. This is a good DVD to get because besides the fact that Lassie does all kinds of tricks,it's also a chance to see a good, old-fashioned bond between a boy and his dog.
Also Tommy Rettig (Jeff Miller)is soooo cute!!!!!!!!!

 Journey to Nostalgia! Dec 11, 2005
Jeff's Collie, what a journey to 50's America life. Different from the latter "Timmy Episodes" this series were so real and so down to earth. Lassie wasn't constantly "discovering dinamite" nor "saving the whole community" but it was a truly believable intelligent dog that was easy to love. Tommy Rettig did not portray a plastic cute owner like Timmy, (Sorry Timmy fans) but a real 12th year-old fatherless farm boy who filled the gap of his father's absence with the love of his pet. Wonderful series.
The DVD mentioned is a great "starting taste" but it does not include the best episodes. Who does one contact to vote or put in a word for the release of SEASON BOX SETS of JEFF'S COLLIE? I think these episodes are a part of America's Television History and it would be a terrible loss to let them dissapear.

The Best LASSIE Sep 29, 2005
Jeff's Collie is by far the best collection of Lassie TV available on DVD. I loved this show and used to watch it rerunning on Discovery Kids until some morons decided to take it off the air. Some of the episodes are a bit long in the tooth, yet they are very, very timely as well. Lassie is superior in every way to the current Lassie--hard to say how--he just is. Tommy Rettig and Jan Clayton are excellent as is George Cleveland. Everyone is long dead now, except Porky. This is a real treat and delightful viewing--some of today's kids don't like black and white--they are so used to color, but somehow black and white seems to fit here. Superior.

Amazing Series Jan 14, 2005
I am glad to see others here who understand how transcendent this program was. I watched Lassie as a kid during the Timmy era and I liked it but it wasn't my favorite show - more nostalgia than anything else. The Rettig era was before my time. When Animal Planet showed this time period, I took the opportunity to watch it and was totally blown away. I was watching a series right out of the pages of William Saroyan or Lee Harper (To Kill A Mockingbird). The writing, direction, character ensemble, and plots were very, very different from Timmy and Lassie. I could see how the charm and appeal of this series began, and was never acheived again. Subtle elements of progressivism and the human experience, maybe due in part to Sheldon Leonard (who later interjected some of these same elements into the early episodes of The Andy Griffith Show and I Spy) and a female writer, who's name I don't remember, and others who contributed to it, made it stand out like some other shows of the early era of T.V., before the corporate agendists got their mitts on it. I agree with another contributer here; they need to re-release the whole series of the Rettig era show.

The best lassie tv shows. Feb 20, 2004
Why can't they write scripts like these anymore? Jeff's collie was orinally aired as "lassie" in the mid 1950's and was renamed when timmy took over after 3-4 years. It is easily the best lassie shows with very professional actors/actresses and well written scripts. This was one of the first shows produced for the newest invention of the 1950's - T.V.This DVD vaguely introduces the cast and then the final show together and a show with the pups. However, what they really need is to release all the shows on DVD (there are about 100 or so). Anyway, Jeff's collie is far superior to the timmy and lassie episodes although there were some good ones of timmy too. Jeff, Porky, Gramps seemed real. Jan Clayton is more sexy too.
