I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Sadly Over-hyped

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

I haven't met an Australian kid who grew up in the 1960s who didn't love "The Littlest Hobo" and the theme song "Road without end." The Littlest Hobo would drift from town to town helping people in need and then move on often before anyone had a chance to thank him. Lots of familiar faces from film and TV pop up as guest stars.

We just discovered this classic series and fell in love with it. It's about a stray German Shepherd who travels from town to town getting involved in people's lives and helping them out with their problems. He just seems to know what to do. At the end of each episode he moves on to the next place. This show has a sincerity and charm that's very special and it's highly addictive. This is delightful to both kids and adults. The dog actor, London, who is the only constant from episode to episode, is beautiful and very talented. The music is also very nice, especially the theme song, "Road Without End", that's played at the beginning and ending of each episode. The more I hear it the better I like it. Check it out. You'll love it!

As a kid growing up in Australia in the 1960's, this was one of my Favourites. Remember this was on during school hours and I would feign sickness just so I could watch it in the mornings.Littlest Hobo was named London and he was a German Shepherd. Suppose you could compare this to "Highway to Heaven" in some ways, as Jonathon Smith (Michael Landon) would travel around and do good deeds, as did Littlest Hobo but without the help of... Can still picture him sitting on the freight train in the opening sequence ready for the next adventure. I give this 8 out of 10 and that is because I am biased.

It may well be that my baby boomer memory is having a seniors moment but I feel certain that our main character was not a German shepherd but some other sort of canine of approximately the same dimensions. Maybe someone else with a better memory might be able to enlighten us. All I can say that I still get a warm glow inside whenever I think of this wonderful children's show. Each episode was a vignette of new characters to which our Hobo usually helped resolve a human dilemma with animal heart. So sad to think the world that could create such wonderful things with so much love is gone forever... and yet it left such a lasting impression on this 50yo man...
