Lassie had a year without human leads?

How did the show work for a whole year without human leads and remain interesting? Was every episode just Lassie running around in the forest for 30 minutes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.179.52.204 (talk) 09:55, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Sound like The Littlest Hobo, who wandered around by himself...there were humans in each episode, but they were always guest stars, not the leads. Adam Bishop (talk) 15:08, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Guess I'm showing my age here. As I recall, Lassie sometimes interacted with just other animals, but more often with other humans. She mainly wandered around helping people out of jams, sort of like Caine in Kung Fu or Banner in The Incredible Hulk. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 15:24, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

"No human leads" doesn't mean "no human characters". If Lassie interacted with different people every week that would remove human "leads". DJ Clayworth (talk) 15:41, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Who is Sarsippius?

In the Infectious Grooves albums, there is a recurring character names Sarsippius. I know that the guard in the conversations is Mike Muir. Has it been published who played the character of Sarsippius? -- kainaw™ 18:52, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
