This is a great old series. It was before my time but it is still a lot closer to the Texas of my youth then what Texas has become. Thanks for making it available
There's no way I would have listened to this series, except it was in the lineup and so, this Texas Rangers series played after my selection ended. I'm hooked! Low key, not a bunch of noise, no organ music, no ads included, what's not to like? I think this would be a great series to listen to as I doze off, like the sound of the characters' voices and the series in general.
The director was Stacy Keach. Father of the Stacy Keach, who played Mike Hammer in the 1970's and his brother, James, who married Jane Seymor of 'Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman.'
@@HearthandHomeEntertainment I wrote an article on it. I mentioned that I didn't like Westerns, but this to me was more a crime show. Many think carrying the horse around was just to make it more a Western. In reality, horses were a staple of people between the twenties and forties when the stories occured. My father was born in 1917. I am originally from a rural section of Tennessee. The first time my mother saw my father he was riding a mule. Some areas weren't accessible with vehicles. My father's family used to buy mules by the boxcarload and break them and sell them. If they came across a really good when they kept it.
@@thomasswafford250 Great insights. Funny thing is I'm a big western fan and the first time I heard this show I was disappointed because it wasn't a western! I got it over my disappointment real quick.🙂
The second episode here takes place in the vicinity of Fredo, Texas, a town i'd not heretofore heard of. In hearing, it was pronounced with a "long E", that is, "ee": "Freedo". In the pleasant drawls of the characters, the "d" was not rendered very heavily. When the characters spoke of the scene, it sounded like "Frito". In fact, it was only when i'd Searched i found Texas has no town called "Frito", does have "Fredo"; only then did i turn myself to law enforcement: I determined that the bad guy should be referred to as The Fredo Bandito. I believe my work here is done now. Hi-ho, Silver! Away!
Very fond of this show. Listeners may, however, be interested to know that the claim made that the Texas Rangers are the oldest law enforcement body in North America, is false. I discovered, when writing an article about Fort Knox and West Point, that while the Rangers were formed in 1835, the United States Mint Police predates them by more than 40 years (established in 1792).
It's one of My favorites. Yet the Ranger's methods are always challenged at every point by some brainless sheriff, kinda like "Chester" on Gunsmoke. In the end the brilliant Ranger follows his instincts and gets his Man.
❤I really like the show.😊

Yeah this is a great show that is really underrated! Glad you enjoy it! I'll be putting out another compilation soon!

I often play these programs in bed for my husband and I as we turn in early but enjoy hearing these programs before sleep.
The best show ever. Love Joel McCrae’s voice.
Definitely one of my favorite shows! McCrae is amazing!
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
I generally don't like Westerns, but I like this one.
👍Yeah, I think most people think it's a western but it's more like Dragnet or Gang Busters. It's like a western Dragnet! Thanks for tuning in!

Very well done. I remember growing up in the 50's preferring listening to radio show rather than watching TV as it forced you to use your imagination.
So true! thanks for tuning in!
The Texas Ranger Prayer. ❤ 👍
👍
I wonder if the boy Tommy ever became a Texas Ranger. Would be great if he did.
Great Radio bar none.
👍

Fan of Joel McCrea,
He's great! Did you know he turned down the role of Gil Favor in Rawhide? One of those "what if" moments!
@@HearthandHomeEntertainment did not know that. My grandpa was big fan and so glad u have these up for us new old fogies to enjoy.
