Any Lone Ranger fans out there? I watched a few clips and such and really enjoy it


I love to listen to cool jazz on a rainy night in 1947 Los Angeles --

I'm a fan .. from way back ... as a very little girl, I used to think that they were saying the 'long' ranger.

I'll write more later.

We've known that for two years now. It was first announced back when he signed for "Pirates of the Caribbean 4." The real news is that Armie Hammer has been cast as the title character.

They used to re-run the ol' black and whites every weekday morning in Cheyenne, WY at 6 AM back in the mid-70's.  Never missed one!

The ORIGINAL original - and still the best:

(If you've never heard it, you might want to start after the mid '40's, when they'd really developed their game.)

From way back! As a kid I used to think his name was the Lone Deranger. Riding around wearing a mask in the company of an Injun, I mean that kind of thing just wasn't done in London, Ontario in 1959!

Unfortunately I don't have a holster set or anything like that but I have these model kits:

Thanks, Craig!  Also enjoy the newspaper strip, when you can find 'em.....thought it cool, that he originally was depicted with a red shirt, which Captain Action picked up on.

There's a public domain station that still runs them occasionally. A real treat is seeing Glenn Strange as Butch Cavandish.

I love all things Lone Rangerish (except the 80's movie).  I'm especially fond of the 60's cartoon series that was heavily influenced by the Wild Wild West.  Ninjas, robots, steampunk, super cool!
