Sadly Over-hyped

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Absolutely loved this show as a kid. I was only a baby when it came out in '97, so i watched it in early 2000's and i recently re-watched all episodes i could find. As an animal lover, especially when i was a younger, it was frickin awesome. It had cute animals, good actors, exciting adventures, lovely set and surroundings...everything i could ask for. A great show for both kids and adults.It's a shame the show isn't more popular. It's literally impossible to find all the episodes online anywhere even though i feel like i have desperately searched through the entire internet. Pretty sure DVD's with the show doesn't even exist sadly.

I love this varied rendition of the classic family tale, Lassie. My son and I used to watch it regularly together on Sunday evenings during his late elementary and middle school years, and we both have fond memories. In this adaptation a vet named Karen Cabot moves back to her Vermont hometown with her young adolescent son, Timmy. There she opens a veterinary clinic and he finds a collie, who becomes the family pet and is named Lassie. The series chronicles the assorted adventures of Timmy, his friends, and his faithful and intelligent dog.Corey Sevrier is a competent young actor here, wonderful in the role of Timmy Cabot. Timmy also has, in addition to the collie, several well cast human friends, including Jeff and Natalie (a romantic interest). Other characters include Doc Stewart and Hank, an interesting and kind hearted junkyard guy. Of course apart from Timmy, Lassie is the real star of the show.The series depicts the classic everyday problems of growing up, such as bullies and first love, but also various animal adventures...both the typical Lassie saving the day and also unique stories from Tim's mom's vet practice. I'd certainly give a strong recommendation to this, a really cute and heartwarming family series.

I've seen this Lassie series a few years ago and now it's being broadcast on a different network in Sweden. Great acting by all characters, a cute dog and handsome stories contribute to the overall quality of this version. The beautiful surroundings is also a reason why I enjoy watching it, the nature reminds me of Sweden.There is not much information about the actors on the internet except for Corey which surprises me a bit, maybe it's because it's a Canadian series with non U.S. people involved. I wonder why it didn't take place in Canada when that's where they shot it?To sum it up, Lassie 1997 is one of those productions I'd have liked to step into in real life....

I like this version of Lassie a lot since I'm half Canadian and its a Canadian production. The writing was really good and all the actors had the accents down cold. It was so cute when Corey Sevier got to kiss Natalie at the end of the series; you got the feeling he wanted to do that all along. I like watching Corey in Little Men on Pax TV also; he's a good actor.
