Jon Provost was about to participate in a special event in his honor at the Chicago Museum of Broadcast Communications when I asked, "What if you fell into a well on your way from the airport to the museum?"

Awwww..I loved Lassie. So much so that as an adult I had two collies. They are very high maintenance dogs though, and neither one ever saved me from any mistakes I made...

Too bad they can't make any wholesome kids programs like this one anymore.

I loved watching it too, especially since I had no dog or cat as a child.
