My afternoon TV schedule .....

My afternoon TV starting around 4:00 consists of Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, Roy Rogers, Skippi, Lassie and .... The Lone Ranger. Almost the same lineup I listened to on the radio many years ago. Good lite hearted stuff, and the "good guys" always seem to win.

I do often wonder why the good guys always seem to have the fastest horses and can catch up with the bad guys. I would think that some horse thieven, sidewimden, no good bad guy would go to the stable guy, with all that bank loot he has, and demand, "I want the fastest horse you got, pardner." Or, he could somehow get one faster than the good guys. But, they don't

If you look at this pitchure, podner, there ain't no saddle bags, ain't no suitcase or a trailer of any kind. Yet, when he and Tonto camp out at dusk, there is always a nice spread, skillets, plates, cups, and food. Does poor old Tonto have to lug it all, I don't think he would call him Kemosabe if he had to do that.

A number of shows, the Lone Ranger appears in an elaborate disguise, the other day he was a Mexican thief, and he has been a number of people, where is all that stored. Costumes, makeup, beards, clothes, I just have to wonder where they store it all, roaming the West as they do.

How often does he have to return to his Silver Mine to get his bullets? He has to run out sometime, and no one seems to dig them out and keep them as a souvenir. "Could you autograph this for me, masked man?"

"A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty Hi-Yo Silver! The Lone Ranger! ... With his faithful Indian companion Tonto, the daring and resourceful masked rider of the plains led the fight for law and order in the early western United States! Nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice! Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear! From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver! The Lone Ranger rides again!"
