I watched "The Lone Ranger" from the end of its first season, i.e. 1950, (since we didn't have a t.v. before then) & loved it! In 1974, Moore helped open the "Sunrise Mall", in Massapequa, NY & I was there to see my "boyhood idol"in person! Moore had an amazing 'presence' on screen & he, like William Boyd, i.e. "Hopalong Cassidy", could not be replaced! R.I.P.
He,as the Lone Ranger along with Jay Silver heels taught a lot of kids in the fifties good moral lessons, and did it entertainingly, without loads of mindless violence. Look at the crap today and is it any wonder we are in the fix were in.
Clayton Moore was a VERY good friend of mine. I worked at a local huge everything department store selling everything from groceries to gasoline to cashing checks to appliances to jewelry etc etc etc. The Lone Rangers' wife came in one day to ask if his wifes 13 record albums were all here yet. I was in charge of records&record albums and I said they're not all in and she said she'd come back later and I would call her if they were all in. So 1 day a man came in asking where Susie is and he found me. He came in once a week to find me and befriend me. I adored "Lone" &he was a complete gentleman. He even came in when I'd been crying bcz my boyfriend (and I had broken up). He was always there for me. He wanted to meet my boyfriend&take him out to dinner to see if Lone (I always called him Lone) would approve of my boyfriend. They never met but Lone was there every week to see me. I ADORED THE MAN I KNEW AS LONE.
When Moore lived in Minnesota, He would come to the Stage Coach, a place for good food a lot of old guns on the walls and shop in the back, WE HAD A GOOD TIME there. At my age I"m one of the last that worked there. We would have gunfights, and fancy gun work, and Moore would always have something to say. We loved his input on what we did, a long long time ago.
I met him when I was a young boy. He sat me on a fence and spoke to me. Unfortunately, I responded by staring blankly. I was so dumbfounded and in awe that I couldn't speak. He was dressed as The Lone Ranger and both he and my father laughed. I was wide-eyed and thrilled. Now in my 60s, I recall him going out of his way to be incredibly nice and gracious to a young fan.
I was a 4yr old boy, living with my grandparents home, and always called him the "LONG RANGER." Pop called him the "LONG RANGER." and so did I. "HI HO SILVER!"
I watch it every day and sleep with it on at night. I learn so much from some of his sayings. I also learned how cruel people can be. Those actors played their their roles to the T.
It has been said that the Lone Ranger was based on an Oklahoma lawman named Bass Reeves--a black man and former slave, who had an amazing number of arrests with very few killings. Remember his appearance as Fonzie's hero on Happy Days?
As a young boy growing up in the 1950s in Columbus, Ohio, I used to watch "The Lone Ranger" program on Saturday mornings on our RCA black-and-white, 21" console television, with the classic "rabbit ears" antenna on top of the set to bring in the reception; and I loved that western! ("Good over bad!") I even remember the time when there was the important episode that was going to show the Lone Ranger without his mask on; it was going to be "The Big Reveal" (my words)! But that was when my father decided I needed to go for a haircut with him, and I can remember screaming and crying and "carrying on" because I was going to miss That Chance to see what the Lone Ranger's face really look like without his mask on . And I never did get to see that special event. ~ Lastly, in 1960, we moved to the San Fernando Valley in Southern California, in the community of Northridge, which is close to Chatsworth and the Santa Susana Mountains, those very rocky mountains where many of the "Westerns" were filmed in the 1940s through 1960s, in particular. When I was fifteen and a half, my dad took me to learn to drive on my learner's permit on an extremely challenging but unique road; and I also had to drive the stick shift car (as he required us kids to first learn to drive in a manual transmission car before we could drive the family's automatic) on this narrow, twisting, hilly section of road through what was called Box Canyon; and that road went through those very rocky mountains. (I only stalled the car once--on a hill, which was scary, because I was just learning to use the clutch, and the gear shift was on the steering wheel column, so in stalling out the car the engine quit, and then I had to back down the hill to a gravel turnout site in order to get my bearings and try to start over again. It was very scary and intimidating!) But what is interesting from my episode here was what I discovered later, through my research on the internet, and that was, the road I was learning to drive on went near that huge--and famous--"rock pile" you see at the opening of "The Lone Ranger" TV show, where the Lone Ranger is on his horse, Silver, and the horse is rearing up on its hind legs against that massive rock outcropping. Unfortunately, at the time I was learning to drive, I did not know we were in the general vicinity of that very important television landmark. (But where that iconic rock grouping sits is an iconic area that has been saved from development and is part of a larger, and now iconic regional park area in the Santa Susana Mountains, in Los Angeles County.) (09/15/24)
Interesting how Clayton Moore embraced and rejoiced in his role as Lone Ranger (TV actors considered lowly and underpaid compared to movie actors at the time). On the other hand, George Reeves in his role as Superman felt typed cast and trapped. His life ending tragically. It appears two actors with similar roles and totally different perspectives of their life situations. Maybe a life lesson for us today.
How did he jump off that rock and land on the saddle without hurting himself? The William Tell Overture was a great theme song. Everyone was off the street when this show was on.
I was too young or lacked much interest in westerns and probably never watched one of their films, but they didn't seem credible. My mother went to a concert in Philadelphia where the music piece associated with the movies was played by the orchestra and at the ultimate moment someone way up in the balcony shouted out the memorable line and was ejected by the ushers from the symphony hall to the amusement of nearly everybody. Perhaps that piece of music had become so associated with the "Lone Ranger" to such an extent that it couldn't be played before an audience again!
lm 76 now grew up watching lone ranger on saturday morning along with fury,roy rodgers and many more we had fun back then l wish we could turn back the clock,l cant do that but every now and then l will catch a lone ranger rerun ,,,,,,why who was that masked man,,,,,why didnt you know that was the Lone Ranger,,,,,hi yo silver.
I sent off and got a mask and a silver bullet! The bullet came apart so you could put a secret message inside! I had lone Ranger cap busters! (Toy guns)😊
The Lone Ranger is my favorite character, Hop along Cassidy is second. Then I guess Cint Eastwood would be third, and last but not least John Wayne. William Boyd (Hopalong Cassidy) - Documentary ua-cam.com/video/cqsWjv-kDUE/v-deo.html
Low budget TV show ... BIG results in the hearts and minds of little boys who grew up straight and good. I never saw Moore's Lone Ranger, shoot anyone, other than to knock their gun out of their hand. I hope he knows Jesus. Same with Jay Silverheels.
No commentary on Moore's drinking problems, or his many marriages? Come on...let's have some dirt on this guy, who was lucky to have any sort of career in Hollywood!
Addressed to the Narrator of this video: What is with all of you UA-cam presenters that seemingly have to constantly say "iconic" and "icon" about every other word? I'm tired of hearing that word in every video that focuses on someone or some event that is important. Do you know what a thesaurus is? It is a book of synonyms, words that are similar; and in that book you can find replacement words for these miserable, tired cliches that will give you fresher, more original writing. Please stop saying "icon" and "iconic," as their usages showcase the fact that you have either a very poor vocabulary development, or you are just plain lazy and not interested in finding, and subsequently using, words that are not cliches!
Short story.. I was six or seven years old was invited over to a friend's house to watch The Lone Ranger I took my six shooters over there with me..when the show came on my friend turn the TV station to watch something else I told him to turn it back on he refused so I cracked him in the head with my six shooter...I was sent home 😂
I watch the Lone Ranger every day. Clayton Moore was a handsome man!!
I loved the Lone Ranger series. RIP Clayton Moore
I started watching the Lone Ranger when I was a little girl and he was my hero. He was the best Lone Ranger , RIP Clayton Moore Miss You.😢
I watched "The Lone Ranger" from the end of its first season, i.e. 1950, (since we didn't

Wow, you were blessed. My favorite.
I remember mailing a dollar in the late 70's or early 80's to help pay his legal fees. I got back a mask. I wish I still had it.
They screwed him over ! Dirty Bastards !
There is not another person on the planet who sounds like Clayton Moore.
My Favorite Cowboy Lawman, May He R.I.P.
My childhood hero!!!!! As a child my dad bought me six shooters just like the ones he had on the show! Great memories
The Lone Ranger Clayton Moore will always be the one & only Ranger all the episodes were great.I love him playing the role the old gold miner.RIP
That was awesome.
I watched (cross legged) the Lone Ranger on a black and white TV in 1956. Never missed it. I'm now 72. ENGLAND.
He,as the Lone Ranger along with Jay Silver heels taught a lot of kids in the fifties good moral lessons, and did it entertainingly, without loads of mindless violence. Look at the crap today and is it any wonder we are in the fix were in.
No comparison between them and now !
Sure...let's just forget about his drinking, and his many marriages...not a role model at all, in real life!
Clayton Moore was a VERY good friend of mine. I worked at a local huge everything department store selling everything from groceries to gasoline to cashing checks to appliances to jewelry etc etc etc. The Lone Rangers' wife came in one day to ask if his wifes 13 record albums were all here yet.

I ADORED THE MAN I KNEW AS LONE.
The man was great no more to be said.
HES THE ONE AND ONLY LONE RANGER!!!!!
REST IN PEACE CLAYTON MOORE ❤
One of my Hero's!
He was perfect for the part. No one looked better as the Lone Ranger. Remember this show when I was a kid.

Grew up watching him on Saturday morning. Loved it 👍

I loved the show, and still watch it. 😅
Loved the lone ranger
I remember my lever action popgun and canteen with the Lone Ranger name on it back in the 50s, POW, POW, POW
Legend.
He was a good looking guy, and was in great shape all his life.
He really was The Lone Ranger!
As a child of the fifties, I wanted to grow up to be like The Lone Ranger, my hero.

My hero, Clayton Moore and the Lone Ranger

No sense in using a few words when 10,000 will do, right?
He was the best Lone Ranger in my book
Interesting. How could Jack wrather disrespect the original Lone Ranger? R. I. P. Clayton Moore. 👌👍😎🤠

I remember in the 1970's when Clayton Moore was not legally allowed to wear his mask, so he toured the country wearing sunglasses instead.
Clayton Moore was the Lone Ranger
I watched the

Why did they replace Clayton?
Replaced him for 1 season I believe. With John Hart.
My one question is WHY did he change his mask..the original went above bridge of nose, the other over( the over bridge mask was worn by John Hart)
The narrator kept repeating himself.
The narrator is a robot!
Did Clayton played on a series " Lost in Space????
No
What was wrong with Clayton's left eye?
Low budget TV show ... BIG results in the hearts and minds of little boys who grew up straight and good. I never saw Moore's Lone Ranger, shoot anyone, other than to knock their gun out of their hand. I hope he knows Jesus. Same with Jay Silverheels.
What about silver and Tonto horse ?
I wonder where Clayton is now in eternity?
No commentary on Moore's drinking problems, or his many marriages? Come on...let's have some dirt on this guy, who was lucky to have any sort of career in Hollywood!
It's NOT "Clay-IN" Moore!

AI does a terrible job.
Unnecessary repetitive story-line...you do not get paid through longer duration, but by comments and thumbs feedback...!
Short story..
