Where Are They Now? The second installment in a sometime series.
Timmy, Age 47, Still In The Well

Timmy Martin, the blonde, sweetly naïve main character of “Lassie,” now forty-seven years old, is still stuck in a well.

“I’ve tried as best as I can to move on with my life, and leave the entire ‘Lassie’ part of my life behind,” shouted Martin up to me from the bottom of a dank 50-foot-deep hole in the ground. “I graduated high school, took correspondences courses with the state business school, and now I sell insurance. Against falling in wells.”

Mr. Martin fell into the well in a little-known episode called “Lassie Joins The Union.” In it, Lassie was supposed to rush back to the Martin family and inform them that there cherished son Timmy had fallen down a well. However, in a bizarre plot twist, Lassie ran off in protest of poor treatment of animals on the set, and never came back to tell anyone of Timmy’s plight.

“I don’t like to talk about it,” said Mr. Martin’s. “Let’s just say she’s not so much a ‘Lassie’ but a ‘Hussie,’ that bitch.”
