The Lone Ranger

[Haunted hearse]

Wasn't there an animated series sometime in the seventies?  I remember it wasn't that bad.

There was a Lone Ranger cartoon that debuted in 1966 and another one, produced by Filmation, that debuted in 1980 within the "Taran/ Lone Ranger/ Zorro Adventure Hour." That series was released on BCI/Eclipse DVD in two volumes as "The New Adventures of The Lone Ranger and Zorro" and both are out-of-print and rather pricey to obtain. I have Vol. One. I remember seeing Vol. Two on the shelf at Best Buy for $26.99, which I thought was far too expensive, but now it goes for much more than that if you can find it.

I have the 75th Anniversary DVD of the first two seasons of the TV show, and it includes a couple of episodes of the 1966 cartoon show, however I don't know if more episodes were included on the Complete Collector's Edition set released last year.

Well, being the cheapskate I am, it wasn't till yesterday that I Redbox'd The Lone Ranger movie. As expected, crazy explosions, unbelievable escapes from certain death, and a plot lost to the fore mentioned. I found one moment that had me laughing....when LR rears Silver and yells "Hi-Yo Silver Away!" and Dep as Tonto, in a startled manner, says "Don't ever do that again!". Now that was funny. My big hope is there won't be a sequel by these same guys. Once again, let's give it 20 or 30 years and try again.

Make that 20 or 30 years after I'm dead, if you please.

I used to watch the Sixties animated cartoon, and have that 75th anniversary set.  (Some nice bonus goodies in that!)  It was great getting to see some of those cartoons again.  I also have that set of the color episodes from the Clayton Moore series, released in a package designed to look like a saddle bag.  Didn't know about that Complete Collector's Edition set, though.  May have to put that on my Christmas list!
