I loved the Lone Ranger and Tonto. I watched them every day when I was a kid. this was the best show of the 50's hands down

Good heavens! This really does bring back memories of the early/mid 50s. We couldn't afford a telly at the time so we went around to a neighbour who could. Programme choice was somewhat limited at the time; there was BBC and...er....bugger all else. ITV had yet to penetrate our neck of the woods. Eventually, we did get a telly; rented of course, as most were in those days. Seven shillings and sixpence a week (37p). Picture drifting left and right, up and down...oh the fun of it!!

Clayton Moore took his job seriously. He knew how important this one to children. Pity there are so few actors who realize that today.

@elc1960 BILL COSBY on GEORGE LOPEZ Tonight did a piece where he researched the name KEMOSABE and said he had asked several indians what the translation meant. They had no word like that. I can't remember what Spanish based language he said, but it broke down to mean: He Who Knows Nothing! He never saw the Lone Ranger quite the same after that, he said. "Hey! Stupid!" and "What?! He who knows nothing!!" put a whole different twist on the show... I laughed my ass off at that...

@elc1960 booo

@sueric123 LOL - I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Dubya wasn't wearing a Lone Ranger mask and white cowboy hat when he made the decision to invade Iraq. Probably had the whole damn costume in his closet.

@tigersharka I'm reminded of a sketch from the Tonight Show in the early '60s where Jay Silverheels played Tonto at an employment agency looking for work. Carson goes "Why did the Lone Ranger fire you?" Tonto replies: "Him find out what 'kemosabe' means!"

[elc1960]

Why do the studios insist on making movie remakes of this show that consistently bomb? Please leave well enough alone; you had Clayton Moore andJay Silverheels. Doubtful you could find anyone to equal their portrayals of the Lone Ranger and Tonto. (BTW - did anyone at the studio realize back then that "Tonto" was Spanish slang for "dummy"?)
