Test your Lassie Trivia Talents

In my role as host of the radio show, OH BEHAVE! on Pet Life Radio (www.petliferadio.com), I get the chance to chat with "top dogs" in the pet world. One delightful guest was Jon Provost, perhaps you knew him better as "Timmy" on the 1960s TV show, Lassie.Timmy is all grown up. In fact, he turns 60 next year. On my show, he separated Lassie fact from fiction, including:* Timmy never did fall in a well during the entire run of the series. He got in a lot of jams that required rescuing from Lassie, but never in a well.* All 9 Lassies who took on the starring role were related and none of them were females. All were males. I guess with the long Collie coat, it is nearly impossible to "check under the hood" to do a gender check.* Provost was the second boy to star in Lassie. The first was written out of the storyline as college-bound so that a younger boy could take on the role.* Cloris Leachman preceded June Lockhart in the role of mom. Cloris didn't want to be typecast as a tired, old farmer's wife and quit the show after a couple seasons.To learn more, I invite you to "tune in" to OH BEHAVE on Pet Life Radio - the episode that we feature Jon Provost. It's easy. You can listen directly from your computer or download for free on iTunes.What's, that, Lassie? Timmy's in trouble - again? Gotta go for now!
