The New Lassie

The New Lassie is an American family drama series which aired in first-run syndication from September 8, 1989 to February 15, 1992.

The series centers on the McCulloughs, a middle-class family living in fictional suburban Glen Ridge, California.

[1] Jon Provost (born 1950), who starred in the original Lassie series, portrayed Chris' brother Steve McCullough who was revealed in a later episode to be the now adult Timmy Martin in an episode guest-starring June Lockhart (born 1925), in a reprisal of her original role as Timmy's foster mother Ruth Martin (1958-1964).

In the episode titled "Roots", Timmy reveals that he was never officially adopted by the Martins, and thus couldn't go with them to Australia when they moved there (at the beginning of season 11 of the second version of the original Lassie series, 1958-1964).

[1] Guest stars with a Lassie past included Roddy McDowall, who had starred in the first movie Lassie Come Home (1943)[2][3] and Tommy Rettig,[4] who had played Jeff Miller in the early years of the original television series (later syndicated as Jeff's Collie).
