Whats a TV series that went completely off the rails, became absurd and lost sight of its own original premise? (piefed.social)

Most folks who are familiar with it know it by its first incarnation, where Lassie is a farm dog who spends her days with the farm boy named Little Timmy.

That's the second incarnation. Before Timmy, lassie belonged to a slightly older kid named Jeff. Then one day Jeff's parents randomly decided to drop everything and move to England. They couldn't bring lassie with them for some reason so they gave her to Timmys family. I assume Jeff died about 10 minutes after he got off the plane with no lassie to save him from his own misadventures.

He fell down the airplane toilet 39 minutes into the flight and with no dog to alert anyone he drowned in the blue water.
