Original The Littlest Hobo 1963 in Color! Rare "Trouble In Pairs" Episode
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Yes, there was an earlier "The Littlest Hobo" TV series before the popular 1980s version, with its own equally awesome theme song. This 1963 episode (Season 1, Episode 13) follows the adventures of the Littlest Hobo and a new vagabond tramp friend Ben Smith (played by Herb Vigran). The duo's efforts are rewarded when a team of horses which they save from being sold, are used to rescue a busload of schoolchildren. If you are into Ontario summer fair grounds, horse pulls and cheering kids, this is the episode for you, haha! A rare episode in full color, and apparently one of 3 episodes not filmed at Hollyburn Film Studios in West Vancouver.
Featuring Herb Vigran (Maverick, Bewitched, Gunsmoke), Beth Lockerbie (The Incredible Journey, Cannonball), Aileen Seaton (The Starlost, Seaway), Eric Cryderman (The Forest Rangers), Sydney Brown (Adventures in Rainbow Country, The Forest Rangers), Art Jenoff (Hudson's Bay, Cannonball) and Jennifer Ogilvie.
"This was one of 3 episodes to be filmed in the Toronto area in the summer of 1963. Most of the episode was filmed at the Toronto International Film Studio lot in Kleinburg. The river scenes were filmed in Burleigh Falls north of Peterborough, Ontario."

I watched the 1963 series when I was 11 years old and what a trip down memory lane. I watched the 1980s series with my own kids and we all had the same reaction: Hobo dog has no home, Hobo dog has no family...Wah!....Loved both series but I lean towards the earlier one because of the childhood memories it evokes for me...There was also a Littlest Hobo movie made in 1958....I don't know who sings the theme song in this episode but the original singer was Jerry Scoggins who sang the theme for the Beverly Hillbillies 'The Ballad of Jed Clampett'... I liked both theme songs but again, prefer the earlier version, blame that on the 11 year old that still dwells in this 69 year old Vancouverite's heart.... I love seeing Vancouver back in the day and recognizing actors who went on to fame and fortune after guesting on our classic Canadian program, ' The Littlest Hobo', with London, the only true star of the series. ♥
The Littlest Hobo always brought tears to my eyes back then, and still does. By the way this was an episode from 1963. Season 1, episode # 13.
For at least two years in Lassie's long-running series Lassie was like a,"littlest hobo," going from place to place and helping people out.
True story of lassie and little hobo and benji and petticoats junction and grizzly Adam and green archer are the best shows
Lassie was a vagabond for 2 years helping people out. London did it in 2 separate series and a movie because, he's Canadian and we're always helpful. ☺
I love this grand old jazz Neil sedaka bass and piano with the original litykestbhobo on Saturday mornings at eleven on CTV. Canada was a true move for us Jamaican families know to be enthuse with pets . I'm not a doggie person but I love terriers and chuichiua, they are small but quiet in a fine way. thanks forvthe first song I love.
That was me holding the horses bridle at 24:24. I was 12 at the time.
So fun to hear Kirk, and so wonderful you worked on this episode!! Looks like everyone really enjoyed themselves during the filming! Love this original series the best too. :)
You must have pictures then, rigbt?
Pretty cool.
wow. cool.
AmazingFilmsNS its like lookimg back to the same time. roughly the same area and the same rural lifestyle my dad had when he was around 19-20.
no wonder this show lived on. decades.
a great life back then.
Something deeply soulful & heart warming about the early series, just can’t quite explain it. Help me out here if you can :)
People and London were more willing to help others, rather than cut their throat as is more common today.
Man how I loved this show....
I was born in Toronto in '63 and used to watch this original series from when I was 4 and we had just moved to London Ontario
my little heart ached for the littlest hobo, I always felt so sorry for him and yearned to help him and love him up...and that theme song made your heart sad..funny how I grew up in a town with the same name as the dog who starred in the show
yeah I liked the episodes from the 60s better
This episode was from 1963, in colour. Season 1, episode 13
I feel like crying when I watch littlest hobo, I loved the show but I was a kid in the 80's when it aired on TV, I always felt sad for him because he didn't have a forever home and a forever family. Lol
Thanks Fringe Beauty, and we shouted you out in our new vid! :) ruclips.net/video/f5NFKGSm2TQ/видео.html
still get a lump in my throat hearing and watching this...
Ya me too
Loved this tv show as a kid, but particularly enjoying revisiting these episodes as an old man now. I am really enjoying the music. Just reminds me of better times.
Once the collar came out, Littlest Hobo said I'm out of here!
I grew up watching the 80s version, but this sure was a treat. Love you, London!
AmazingfilmsNS you should contact the owner or distributors according to Wikapedia when DVDs were released the opening & closing credits were In black and white because suposedly colour credits hadn't survived, this one obviously is colour...🙂 great show, brings back great memories

Do you think the German shepherd and Dr. Richard Kimble ever passed each other somewhere?
Not the original. clickbait
Great video!! so cool! Thanks for stopping by my channel I just subbed back! can't wait to see future vids! xoxo😇
An American Dream for so many of us, having the freedom of the open road and just going from place to place to help people. Touches a chord deep down in your soul.
Recently rediscovered this show - used to very vaguely remember the remake from my childhood. I absolutely love this!
$151 for 2 draft horses.
Ah the good ole days.
My Aunt worked at Hollyburn Studios on this tv series!!
Thanks for the message @am2008ber! And so cool about your Aunt working at the studio, and on this very tv series too!! Such history, and love seeing shows filmed there and then. :)
I would really LOVE to see Run Joe Run!!!
I grew up in the project and would always go look on the track for him
Great video quality!! Great Show.
I had no idea there was an earlier series. The style was so different but the dog looks the same!
One of the original Londons was the grandfather of one of the Londons from the second series
Thanks for stopping by my channel! Talk about great work nice videos you guys. New subbie here
Thanks SAMELIA's WORLD, and we shouted you out in our new vid! :) ruclips.net/video/f5NFKGSm2TQ/видео.html
It's still good shows
My earliest memories of the closing credits of this programme contained a picture of a Nefertiti head. What has happened to it? Did the UK have a different ending?
IMDb show Nefertiti Productions as an early production company. Can anybody throw any light on this please?
Looks funny! Liked and subbed :)
I never saw this on TV in the US , but I like it. I recognized the hobo as Herb Vigran a US character actor on radio , movies and television.
Though the television series of "The Littlest Hobo" was filmed in Canada (both 60's & 70's) it's obvious that the 1960's opening and closing credits were shot at a Santa Fe Railway yard in Los Angeles, California. Wonder if this was footage borrowed from the 1958 movie, "The Littlest Hobo."
Hi Dan, thanks for the post and I was wondering the same thing! :)
Concord, Ontario Canada. Just a sf train
@@mikerewegan9960 Naa, I don't think you'd find Santa Fe ALCO switch engines working anywhere in Canada back when this was filmed.
@@WAL_DC-6B i just noticed palm trees at 24:50 so yeah. Lol. Not Canada
Looked for a long time for this, for awhile all I'd turn up was the remake. It was the old B&W and the theme song & the doggie that hooked me as a child....thanks for posting
Oi se puder me dar uma força por favor te agradeço conte comigo fica na paz
Thanks cristiana, and subbed you too! :)
This is the words to the original theme song I remember from the old original series of the 1960s, but not the same singer. The voice I remember was a lower male voice, a baritone. I can’t seem to find it.
Thanks for stopping by my channel dude, truly means a lot. I be more than happy to return the love. Just subbed with a big thumbs up on the funny "The Littlest Hobo" TV series, lol.😇
Thanks so much AngieMayhem and love your channel! :)
When did the theme song change to the other singer. (this series NOT the newer one) This guys a tenor the other was decidedly a base.
When I was little every time the show went off the air along with Lassie I cried.
The theme song is arranged differently and sung slower than the other episodes.
great old shows and worth watching even for us older folks, decent
Wow very neat
I loved this. Thanks for uploading it.
Thanks so much @Hazel May Lebrun ruclips.net/channel/UCfMl6X2OVCiC9K_QwsMB-hQ
