In my opinion, one of the best TV series of all time.

I have had the video 'The Legend of the Lone Ranger (1952) for several years. I have enjoyed playing it for my children and grandchildren. They have all been excited, as have I, regarding this wonderful story of two fictional hero's of the old west. This is a well developed story line, which followed that of the radio series with considerable refinement. I had listened to "The Lone Ranger" on radio from the earliest days of my memory. The horses at times almost become stars in their own right. As other Lone Ranger video's became available we purchased them. Even the background music, the finale of the William Tell Overture, is fitting the classic nature of the story. The announcer and the narrative is a class act in itself. In my opinion, one of the best TV series of all time. Dave Barker
