And another one would yell, "Come on, Paint, let's get where we ain't!" and we'd laugh like crazy. Stupid, you bet, but funny at the time for dumb teens. Thanks to the Lone Ranger and Tonto, may they live forever!Oscar Casehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328166606910469945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-65729305170899477632010-11-24T11:54:48.361-08:002010-11-24T11:54:48.361-08:00YeeeHa!!

Honest, straight and strong.<br />I still can hear the voices, the cry at the start of the TV series, and those never say die plots! God help me, if I live to be a 100, they will always stay with me, and remind me of my boyhood.Thanks for that!cheyenne joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957462106844413179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-25401689531787319572010-11-24T11:52:35.974-08:002010-11-24T11:52:35.974-08:00I began watching this series a few months ago and ...I began watching this series a few months ago and loved it.

Tonto is a great character, and when you watch a lot of episodes you come to realize that he's always the smartest and toughest guy around, except for the Ranger, and there's not that much difference between them. That's the way I see it, anyway.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-81967853075765679162010-11-24T06:32:44.265-08:002010-11-24T06:32:44.265-08:00Fine review, Ron.

In this film, spliced from the first three episodes, it's interesting to see Glenn Strange (Universal's latter-day Frankenstein) playing the arch-villain Butch Cavendish.Evan Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620731784654779358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-25812806596637847442010-11-24T05:44:14.118-08:002010-11-24T05:44:14.118-08:00A movie I'd love to see.A movie I'd love to see.Leah J.
