104 The Lone Ranger


First  watched : Uncertain

The  Lone  Ranger  cartoon  series  was  one  of  umpteen  incarnations  of  the  Western  superhero  originally  based  on  a  character  from  a  Zane  Grey  novel. Made  in  the  late  sixties  , partly  in  Britain , it  roamed  well  outside  the  genre  with  excursions  into  science  fiction* . Tonto  and  Kemo  Sabe  had  a  regular  villain  to  contend  with  in  the  shape  of   the  dwarf  Tiny  Tom. My  recollections  are  rather  hazy  but  I think  I  liked  it.

* The  series  was  said  to  owe  a  heavy  debt  to  a  CBS  programme  The  Wild  Wild  West  which  I  don't  think  was  shown  in  the  UK.
