Clayton Moore and John Hart are both good as The Lone Ranger. Both made a lot of great Lone Ranger westerns!! Love them both! I watch The Lone Ranger every day!!
I still love these shows! I just bought the vintage Ranger and Tonto 12 inch figures a couple days ago! I wanted to be the Lone Ranger as a kid!!! Very fond memories!!
Very much enjoy these programs. Never got to see them before. Only recently found they are available. Appreciate the unabashed affirmation of right, honesty, goodness and fair play. Like the way the Lone Ranger deals with criminal's.
this episode was made in 1949. i first saw it about three year later when we were among the first in our small town to get a TV set. my partners and i watched this show religiously before heading out to protect the neighborhood with our cap pistols. and by golly, we kept things mighty orderly in them parts 'n those days.
I was the Lone Ranger and my younger brother was Tonto. I was also the Range Rider and he was Dick West. Our mum said I couldn't be the eponymous hero all the time so I had to be Pancho to his Cisco Kid. Our horses were the arms of the settee and caps were a penny a hundred.
The TV series never portrayed Tonto as a klutz. They saved each other,. The Lone Ranger was way ahead of the times re: civil rights, woman's rights etc
Only recently was I surprised to find that Tonto was supposedly, to quote John Hart, "...[a] mentally deficient character." They certainly did a terrible job portraying him that way! We're always waiting for the next genius thing Tonto's going to do! :)
Clayton Moore was born to be the Lone Ranger all others don't come close Disney's version with Depp was a disgusting mess and denigrated the whole idea of a bravado hero on a beautiful white horse like a knight of old to the rescue...Moore was the last,real, ranger......sadly he's now gone to ranger heaven but we will always remember him and silver and Jay Silverheels as Tonto. Writer-director
I never saw POTC but I agree w/ yer comments on the movie. On TV the Lone Ranger was the hero & Tonto the sidekick. This film seemed to reverse it. On the other hand it was good that Tonto was not portrayed as a klutz who needed to be rescued by his Kemosabe which happened too often on the TV show. Loved the line about what "tonto" means in Spanish tho.☺
As a kid, I took these shows deadly seriously. I'm glad to see, upon revisiting them as an adult, that these guys were having fun with this stuff--they tread the edge of self-parody many times. You'd have to if you had to put over clothes and dialog like this!
I saw the Disney film and disliked it mainly because of how it felt like Pirates of the Caribbean all over again, but also for the portrayal of The Lone Ranger. He never quite felt like a character that would be a legend so to speak. I also felt like they over played Tonto (not that Depp's performance was bad) and made The Lone Ranger seem like a sidekick in his own film. Armie Hammer was likable, but his development felt poor in my opinion.
Very good I all ways did like it . I can and do say if you like cowboys you will love this even tho the story lines are by modern standards are some what nieve.
Have U seen the Disney film? It's actually a very good action film. However I'll agree that Clayton Moore is truly the Sean Connery of Lone Rangers & can never be replaced. Similarly despite Johnny Depp's outstanding performance, Jay Silverheels is irreplaceable as Tonto.
The movie gave it a new spin, but it would have been better if it was less of a comedy, and more an action movie. And probably would have also helped, if the Lone Ranger, was not portrayed as a dumb ass.
Clayton Moore and John Hart are both good as The Lone Ranger. Both made a lot of great Lone Ranger westerns!! Love them both! I watch The Lone Ranger every day!!
My hero's, Watched them every saturday at a friends house that had a tv.
Glad I got both Tonto and the Lone Ranger's autographs!!

Amen Hazel :)
This brought back some awesome Child hood memories for me at age 58 looking back to the early 60's :-)

Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels are my heroes (the originals)!
Lee Powell and Chief Thundercloud are the originals for me.
Now that IS going way back to the true originals of the late 30s, isn't?

Writer-director
My childhood hero.
As cheesy as this series could get it still has a charm about it that makes it enjoyable. Charm that is missing in the recent film.
The Lone Ranger without his mask!!! Oh my... I would have been shocked as a kid!!!
At first, I didn't recognize DeForest Kelley. I saw the ending credits that cleared it up!
Nice to see the young DeForest Kelley, a/k/a Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy from the Start Trek series, playing the role here of Bob Kittredge.

Deforest Kelly: "I'm a doctor, not a rancher!"
+Rachel Mothershed As Scotty would say: "Now you're a rancher!" lol

Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels are my Lone Ranger and Tonto.
You've got that right!!
What about Lee Powell and Chief Thundercloud? Moore copied off them.
SugarTomAppleRoger wow are you going back in time! LOL! Also Robert Livingston!
The ONLY Lone Ranger & Tonto!
need make move show like this
clayton moore the only lone ranger truly an american legend
this is cool..they hid these shows in the 80s and 90s..
old man bishop looks alot like a resident at my job. they could be brothers lol
Most of the TV shows are based on the radio shows.

I have rarely heard it put better.
Is that Deforest Kelly?!
Clayton Moore is the lone ranger, not john hart with his sheldon cooper version of the ranger
Jenni The Sonic The Hedgehog Fangirl! I only like John Hart. His voice is different.
LPS LittleHeart NOO! Im sorry! I meant i only like Clayton More, he's the original.
Agreed
Very good I all ways did like it . I can and do say if you like cowboys you will love this even tho the story lines are by modern standards are some what nieve.
classic!
old timer
You have to listen with out watching to really appreciate The Lone Ranger.
he use to say hi ho silver what the fuck? now it's hi yo! are you friggin kidding me?
Have U seen the Disney film? It's actually a very good action film. However I'll agree that Clayton Moore is truly the Sean Connery of Lone Rangers & can never be replaced. Similarly despite Johnny Depp's outstanding performance, Jay Silverheels is irreplaceable as Tonto.
Amen!! :)
Jump'in Jim'nee Whiskers it's Doctor McCoy from star trek!
this is the real lone ranger not that shit disney is puting out in july. freakwood is out of ideas
can't wait for the lone ranger 2013 :)
Title of this episode is "Legion of Old Timers". S01E04
Actually for a western series aimed at a mostly kid audience I consider it anything but cheesy. Now the 1960s Adam west BATMAN series; That's cheesy!
Especially as the show went along...they got so much cooler as they got into it!
Ha...That's DeForest Kelly playing Bob Kittredge.
i watch this when i was 5 and had the lone ranger sute
Once again disney drops the ball. And makes an awful remake. The same way they did with that awful underdog movie.
his pants are awfully tight, was he emo?
Deforest Kelly is Kittridge. www.imdb.com/title/tt0635478/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_114
LEE POWELL & CHIEF THUNDERCLOULD>>>>1938 SERIAL>>>>>>
The movie was crap. You have missed the entire concept of what the iconic Lone Ranger represented.
The movie gave it a new spin, but it would have been better if it was less of a comedy, and more an action movie. And probably would have also helped, if the Lone Ranger, was not portrayed as a dumb ass.
I am steal looking For the lone Ranger with a jail brake with a wooden Gun
You're confused with John Dillinger
This was John Dillinger
johnny Depp made it crazy and more honest
No he doesn't! The further away, the more false it becomes.
uhh
Im sorry wtf where is jonny depp
Bbbbbbbb
I didn't like this. The movie is waaaaaaay better than this rubish
B s
