The Lone Ranger, Zorro
on DVD  "Hi Yo Silver!" Two legendary masked men arrived on DVD in The New Adventures of The Lone Ranger & Zorro: Volume 1 on December 18th. Released by BCIEclipse, The 2 disc set contains 11 episodes of The Lone Ranger and 6 episodes of Zorro. Featuring Henry Darrow as the voice of Zorro, The New Adventures of Zorro chronicles the continuing adventures of Don Diego de la Vega, who rides in the night with his horse Tornado protecting the citizens of Los Angeles from the oppressive rule of Captain Ramon. Produced by Filmation, it aired on CBS in 1981 as part of The Tarzan/Lone Ranger/Zorro Adventure Hour. The DVD set also includes an interview with Lou Scheimer, producer and one of the original founders of Filmantion animation. Purchasing information is here. Time Magazine, Friday, Sep. 15, 1967 During premier week 40+ years ago, no one knew which show would become a top 10 hit, as shown in this excerpt from a Time Magazine article: The new TV season began last week, prompting Johnny Carson to observe that he had not "seen so much excitement since Animal Kingdom did a 90-minute special on the death of a sponge." Incredibly—perhaps predictably—the three networks, commanding so much money and production facility, failed in the first of two première weeks to contrive anything original, let alone imaginative, for their new dramatic and comedy series. Seven of the new shows are oaters. Now there are 14 of them on the air, and most suffer from hoof-in-mouth disease. High Chaparral (NBC) standing just south of Bonanza's Ponderosa, features Rancher Leif Erickson against Apaches, marauding Mexicans, and a disappointing son who whimpers while he works. ABC has Hondo, an Army trucemaker, some of whose best friends are Apaches, and Custer, which takes scalps from history and Indians in equal number. How many of those shows that premiered in the fall of 1967 still have a worldwide fan base, a champion race horse named after it, and were able to gather cast, crew and fans to celebrate their 40th reunion? Two years later, Time Magazine covered the now popular Chaparral TV show by previewing the episode 'Stinky Flanagan' with this review: Friday, August 29, 1969: THE HIGH CHAPARRAL (NBC, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). A camel? In High Chaparral country? Right. A sweet-talking Irish cavalry trooper, played by Frank Gorshin, sells the four-footed version of the Brooklyn Bridge to Uncle Buck, claiming the animal is expert at cattle herding. Uncle Buck buys both the story and the camel —hoof, line and stinker. Cataclysmic Cameron Mitchell
