The Lone Ranger: Kemo Sabe - Trusted Friend



An Original TV Hero
I'm old enough to remember watching Lone Ranger episodes when they originally aired as I camped out in front of our black and white console TV. When not watching Lone Ranger, I might have been watching Howdy Doody, Mickey Mouse, Ding Dong School, Superman, or Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney. This DVD is nostalgic for some and a chance to witness television history for others. With commercials omitted the episodes run 22-23 minutes; for old times' sake I would have liked to view a few "brief and important messages" from General Mills.

Having had the opportunity to sample a number of Lone Ranger DVD's, I would recommend this "Kemo Sabe" DVD as one's first purchase. It's a good sampling of stories showing the repeated themes of loyalty, good vs. evil, trust, redemption, and racial harmony. In many of the episodes over the life of the series, a young man makes a foolish mistake and is invariably steered straight by the wise Lone Ranger.

All of the episodes move...

A nostalgic blast into the past with The Lone Ranger and Tonto ...


Not What I Expected
I was looking for one with the first 3 episodes of the very first TV season--1949.
Not much detail given in the add for this one, so I relied on the customer reviews.
The top review must have been tagged to the wrong DVD because it said this one had those 3 episodes. IT DOES NOT!
But eventually I found The Legend Begins which does. Still a good DVD for what it is, it just was not what I was looking for.
