January 30, 1933, With the stirring notes of the William Tell Overture and a shout of “Hi-yo, Silver! Away!” The Lone Ranger debuts on Detroit’s WXYZ radio station.

I am one of those old souls trapped in a young body, I really enjoyed a lot of the old shows including the Lone Ranger and Tonto. 

[Ed Kennell 44,465]

One of my faves in the '50s.    As kids, we spent 90% of our daylight hours outside.     Except on Saturday mornings when The Lone Ranger show was close to coming on the TV when we raced home to watch.    I still remember my baby sister that was falling behind in the race home yelling "don't turn it on till I get there cause I don't want to miss it".

 

My gang...where's Eddie?

I'm one of those 'young souls' trapped in an old body.   I remember watching the Lone Ranger and Tonto and his horse Silver.  Rarely missed an episode.

Just remember, growing OLD is mandatory, growing UP is optional.

I still live by this..."If it is in black & white, I am watching it."  Just watched 4 episodes of Super Man this morning, we have them on Saturday also!  "Leave it to Beaver" on all week 7 AM to 8 AM.  Perry Mason, Mayberry, Have Gun Will Travel, Gun Smoke...no wonder I don't get anything done.

No Waltons?

Watehed "The man Who Shot Liberty Valence" the other night !!  "Stagecoatch" was on a few nights ago.  Can't tell you what happens if a black & white submarine movie comes on.

One of my favorite shows when I was a kid. I tried to be extra good one year in hopes to get a Lone Ranger toy. I'm sure that I failed at being good but Santa was still nice enough to leave me something extra special under the tree that year.

 

A Lone ranger & Silver !!!

 

That was not all, you can't have one without the other. Tonto & Scout was included

 

Even a Butch Cavendish and Smoke.

 

Was a great Christmas, must have been better than I thought. Unfortunately I played with those toys a lot and they did not survive my childhood.

Although I am partial to Das Boot and Down Periscope.

 

Have to watch the original German version of Das Boot with the kids though, and no subtitles.

My wife and I went to see Das Boot at the theater when it first came out.  During a tense depth charging screen, she about jumped out of her seat when the first depth charge went off.
