* BeamMeUpScotty: For all of the other trouble he got into, [[TimmyInAWell Timmy never did fall down a well]]. ''Other'' people did fall into wells, however. In [=S1E24=] (aptly titled "The Well", when Lassie was owned by Jeff, not Timmy), corrupt water-company owner fell into a well; his mother and grandfather didn't intuit the situation from Lassie's barking - Jeff wrote a note and attached it to his collar. In [=S4Ep37=] ("The Crow"), Timmy's great-uncle Petrie fell into a well; but instead of Lassie fetching humans, ''Lassie'' is fetched by, of all things, a crow, and lowered a rope into the well all by herself. And much later in the series, in Season 10, Lassie herself fell down a well.
