That's cool but I am still miffed about all the years when Clayton wasn't allowed to don a LR mask and would appear with the rose elvis glasses. he was tremendous

This is awesome I gotta get it! Clayton Moore was one of a kind

[kryptosmaster]

Sounds pricey. What's the sugg price?
Always loved the LR. When did the color episodes start? I'm assuming these are B&W?

I've seen it as high as $119.00 for the set. It covers the first 2 seasons, which were black and white, 78 episodes.

The next 52 episodes (Season 3) were the ones with John Hart wearing the mask because of a contract dispute with Clayton Moore.

Moore returned for Season 4 (52 episodes) and Season 5 (30 episodes)...only the last season is in color I believe....

It's available online for as low as $75.

Check some of the DVD comparison sites.

My gut however, tells me this set may fall in price before too long.

Wow, I love the Lone Ranger! Too bad that it's not the entire series. It still sounds like it's well worth the money. Heck you get a book with it, as well. Here's to hoping the forthcoming motion picture is as good.
