* AdaptationDisplacement: Even the 1943 film ''Lassie Come Home'' is overshadowed by the TV series, let alone Eric Knight's original novel. The popular image of Lassie is a HeroicDog saving people in trouble, though the novel was not about that at all.
* CommonKnowledge: For all of the other trouble he got into, [[TimmyInAWell Timmy never did fall down a well]]. This concept of heroic collies named Lassie predates the novel by about 50 years.

* HarsherInHindsight: In the finale to the "Timmy and Lassie" portion of the series, it's bad enough that the Martins went to Australia and had to leave Lassie because of quarantine regulations. The SequelSeries, ''Series/TheNewLassie'', makes things even worse: [[spoiler:Ruth and Paul had to leave Timmy behind too, because the adoption had been screwed up.]]
