3-0 out of 5 stars Great but also not so great
I have to say from the onset that the quality of this set was extremely good. But, I also have to say that I was expecting more. SHAME ON YOU, AMC!!
I was expecting (hoping) to see the original (1949) opening credits and theme song. But, what I got was a cleaned up version of the distribution opening like the ones that TV Land used. I would have gladly given up quality for the original opening and closing.
If you are a true, and by that I mean older, fan of The Lone Ranger and are looking for the pure, genuine TV show, this is not for you.

5-0 out of 5 stars The BEST early Lone Ranger set!!!!!!
This set contains the AMC Network remastered and audio-enhanced version of the first fourteen episodes from the first season of the Lone Ranger TV show, airing from september through december, 1949. The episodes are clean and sound better than any 1949 televeision program has a right to sound in 2004. In short, I am VERY happy with this 14-episode set!

As far as the DVDs themselves go, there are basically no extra features, but what do you expect for ten bucks? At least the screens are very professional and easy to navigate, not amateurishly done like the ones for a lot of old TV shows on DVD.

Get this set for the EARLY Lone Ranger and the Wea Corp set for 19 episodes from the END of the Lone Ranger series, and you'll see the best from the beginning and the end!

I only hope AMC continues to issue future Lone Ranger sets through the run of the series. ... Read more

Grab your mask and six-guns, kids, 'cuz the Lone Ranger's back andbetter than ever! Once again, the retro-wizards at Rhino have expertly packagedthis welcome trip down TV memory lane, serving up six complete 22-minuteepisodes of the popular shoot-'em-up series, starring Clayton Moore as the LoneRanger and Jay Silverheels as his faithful sidekick, Tonto. The firsttwo black-and-white episodes (from 1949) are included as bonus features,reminding us of the masked man's origins, and four consecutive color episodesfrom 1956 show the series at its peak of popularity. The colors have faded a bit(otherwise these shows look great), but the action's still as brisk as ever;this is kid-stuff produced with intelligence and skill, with well-cast villains(including Glenn Strange and General Hospital veteran John Beradino) andpunchy stories that will still delight any baby boomers who look back fondly atTV's golden age. --Jeff Shannon ...

5-0 out of 5 stars The Morals Behind The Stories
This DVD is the typical Gene Autry Western. Each show portrays great moral value and ideals. In "The Star Toter," Gene show a young boy that the good guys can come out the winner, thus overshadowing the bad influences of a father on the wrong side of the law. In "The Posse" Gene show that everyone deserves a second chance, when he helps an ex-con who refused to give into backmail from the bad guys. These are just two examples that the children that grew up watching Gene Autry learned from. In "Doubleswitch" and "Blackwater Valley Feud", Gene tangles with the bad guys and as always, the cowboy in the white hat is Hero again. The Wrigley Chewing Gum commercials are a flash back into the early years when life was simpler and the Silver Screen legends like Gene Autry were looked up to as role models. The picture quality is great. As an Autry Fan and Collector I give this DVD 5 stars and I strongly urge you to let your children watch the man who as country Singer Johnny Cash once said was "a champion riding on Champion" for a good dose of moral integrity and values. All this Autry Fan can say is "I am glad that Gene Autry Still Rides The Trail." America still needs a Hero like him today!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Gene Autry Western Fan (Part2)
Now that I have had a chance to see two of the episodes of this DVD, I would like to to make an additional comment about the shows episodes, the background music is almost unbearable. The music shows no relationship to the action whatsoever, it really grates on the nerves. This is a great pity, because it spoils to some extent what are excellent shows. The shows as I said before have been excellently copied and restored, the shows have all the ingredients of good Gene Autry westerns, good music, plenty of action and have a good moral theme. It's a pity that Gene Autry did'nt pick a musical director who knew how to add the proper music ,and when not to add music, to his shows.

5-0 out of 5 stars Gene Autry Western Fan
I have just received my copy of "Double Switch" and I am very happy that I ordered it. The DVD is excellent value for money, both in quality and content. I especially like the extra features which shows clippings from some of Gene Autry's films, these clipping serve to illustrate the 10 Gene Autry codes. One of these clippings is in color from the film, "Strawberry Roan", a film I wish was available, as I have never seen this. These clippings added to the other extra features of the disc make this DVD one of the best value Gene Autry items available. Apart from the other available DVD of the Gene Autry Shows on DVD, namely " Gold Dust Charlie" I hope that Image Entertainment will be able to make more Gene Autry shows available to the public on DVD and at the same quality and value. If they do, I would be happy to buy them all. ... Read more

So, load up your cap gun, grab hold of the reins and get ready to ride off into a black and white sunset on the dusty trail to action and excitement.

5-0 out of 5 stars Gold Dust Charlie - Gene Autry
If you grew up watching these old westerns on TV you will enjoy This DVD which features the first 4 episodes of one of the earliest of all TV horse operas.Aimed basically at those growing at the time the stories are quite juvenile and corny, nevertheless they are well produced and provide a fine nostalgia trip for those of an appropriate age.
From a technical point of view the picture and sound have been remastered and quality is excellent.Extras include Autry sponsoring Wrigley chewing gum and a Gene Autry singalong jukebox ! ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars A film for a Saturday matinee for kids
It is not a B-series film, but rather a C-series film, or even something somewhat more advanced in the alphabet. But you will get the crooks and the good marshall, the rotten apple in the community, in this case the banker, and we know that from the very beginning, the calvacades and other chases in the « wild » landscape with many horses and quite a few casual or planned casualties, a love affair and even a sacrifice for a woman, a lot of drinking and some card-playing, and all other typical western elements. But do not ask for subtlety in this film : even the timeline is not very correct and some shortcuts are longer, quite longer, than the longcuts, but, well, we can do with that. It is funny.

4-0 out of 5 stars Richard Dix---should be better known....
THE KANSAN appeared in 1943, and was for all intents and purposes, the last major role for actor Richard Dix. Dix had starred in the 1931 classic CIMARRON, and throughout the 1930s and early '40s starred in some well-done Westerns. Perhaps his biggest role came in Republic Pictures' MAN OF CONQUEST (a retelling of the Sam Houston saga). THE KANSAN is one of his better Westerns, and certainly deserves a viewing from time to time. The present video release, THE KANSAN, is a traditional Western yarn, released by UA, with good production values, and a strong cast, including Jane Wyatt, Albert Dekker, Victor Jory, Rod Cameron, Eugene Pallette, Clem Bevans, and Willie Best (who adds comic relief). The action is swift and true to form. Dix is very solid as the marshall out to clean up the town and undo the machinations of the corrupt clique that originally put him in power. All in all, enjoyable.
This release is in Standard Play speed, and the video quality is fairly decent.

2-0 out of 5 stars Brisk Grade B western with a twist.
This "small" western has the unusual plot of a town marshall turning on the corrupt politicians who put him in place and equally battling them and the usual outlaws. Dix is fine in the role. Jane Wyatt is love interest. Victor Jory suave as the all too human villain. Oscar nom for Original Score. ... Read more
