Lone Ranger-Boxed Set Reviews
a trip back to Yesteryear!
I've given this five stars because of the material itself. It is subjective and sentimental and even Zen Master's cry! Obviously this is for Post WW11 kids! The kids of today won't get it because their jaded at 8! We weren't! So there! And too bad too!
Some months ago I had purchased a 2 DVD pack with 12 episodes of the first season of the Lone Ranger. {Platinum Disc Corp}
Well, almost. They're a few out of sequence, but I won't sweat the small stuff! I was very surprised at the print quality of most of the 12, and it has the first three episodes that intoduce the Ranger & Tonto. I got such a kick out of seeing these again, and so many memories flooded back in from those hours spent sitting in front of our 17" black&white Admiral t.v. on Saturday mornings of 1950's in Southern California, whew, that I had to have MORE! Thus this purcahse! The colors great like the other fellow says, and clean good prints! What makes this different besides the color {and the last season of the show as well} of these episodes is the different locations that are used in just about every episode. Oh, yeah...Corriganville, Ivereson Ranch and the Susana Hills or 'Mts' if ya like are present in many, but you'll also go to Kanab, Utah. Columbia State Park in Central Ca. near Fresno. And outside of the Utah shots, my favorite; the Lone Pine Ca. location with the snow capped Sierras and the Alabama Hills as a back drop! WOW! I was a bit reluctant to plop down the $$ but I found a good deal at Fry's or Best Buy! Sorry Amazon old pal! But when I got home and started playing the dvd's I was really happy I made this purchase! ITS FUN! How many things do we buy any more that are FUN? Continuing onward; you'll have 19 episodes all in order of the airing dates of the last season. From Sept. 13th. 1956 thru Jan 17th. 1957. That leaves 20 episodes still remaining to be stamped into DVD's! {I hope}for the remainder of the 57' season, which ended 6-6-57. Yes, you read that right!! 39 episodes in a t.v. season! As was the common practice of t.v shows back in the day! Now, we are lucky to see our favorite program before a November air date, and end in March? But I ramble. If ya realy want to go a little further with a Lone Ranger Rush, read Clayton Moore's book; "I Was That Masked Man" other wise "return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. Out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again!"
Real Good, but not The Best........................
I would have liked the set, which was a gift, better in B&W vs color. The reson for this is I originally watched it as a child in B & W the way the director meant for it to be seen in.
They should have included in the box set how the Lone Ranger(LR) became the LR namely the 1st episode. They might have assumed your not interested in this, or they couln't make it happen, for this set, contractually. Finally, they edited the opening theme scene, 2nd half, by deleting the naration the begins something like: "Return to.... the days of old....". They also edited out the visual of the LR & Silver riding down the 2nd half of the canyon trail which of course went with the naration.
Real Good, but not "The Best"
