I also watched it this morning; episode where a guy just gets out of jail... there is a crazy taxi ride, some stolen money, goofy criminals... I was howling.

This show was really one of the highlights of my youth(I don't consider it sad). Not too long ago(I'm 29 now) my Spanish mate and I were sitting down and talking about the days of old and this show came up. Still to this day my friend and I remember most of the theme song which was worth a laugh.

All I can say is as a young child I always found the stories fascinating. As the show occurred in my youth, that would explain my ignorance to its picture quality. I can tell you there are not many, if any shows these days that I would consider positive viewing for todays youth. All in all it was great show with passable acting and always a passable story line.

Was a different era. No doubt.Man a dog like that one,you gotta love it.There's nothing else you can do with it. What embarrassment!!! The lesson that show taught me was that sometimes animals are more decent and have more dignity than some humans.

And the song. "Maybe tomorrow" when they knew how to compose a song. I mean.It's beautiful. The lyrics,the music,the images of the husky walking down the road.

Things we're different back then. I wished they showed it again.

I believe there was a person asking how to get the song. Well. I downloaded it the other day from lime-wire so the song is available.

I grew up with this TV show and I thought it was great, London the dog helping people just when they needed it and then refusing their offer of a home and moving on to help someone else, for me as a child it was a tear jerker, but London was an undeniably cute German Shepherd and whatever anyone else reckons I think it's a really cool show and I really enjoyed it.

Notable guest stars who appeared in the show include Al Waxman and DeForest Kelley who was best known for playing Dr "Bones" McCoy in Star Trek.

When I was living in England, my Mom and I used to watch this series every week. For the people who haven't heard of this series, think of LASSIE. It's about a dog who doesn't have a home and along the way he runs into things. I give this series three stars and if it comes on TV in your neighborhood, check this out.
