THE BEST!!! 5 out of 5 stars.

This show depicts the life of lesbians in a different world and yet they are also showing situations that are really met by lesbians. It is good to see this kind of shows especially since the place I am in is so restricted and most lesbians are closeted cause we have so many homophobics here. THIS SHOW ROCKS!!!

The L Word sweeps the broken glasses from the ceiling 5 out of 5 stars.

The L Word is a groundbreaking hit series on Showtime which got me hooked!
It's one of the greatest show on television. The L Word to me, represents the different lifestyles in the LGBT community. The love, friendship. affairs, arguments, sex, lust, family, all 'real life' issues are laid out in this show. This show changed the way I think and it changed my life. It's a sexy, hip, it's a phenomenal series. Don't let others fool you, this show is the best show ever and it has one of the best actresses ever. Ilene Chaiken is remarkable what she does! If you are a hardcore fan of The L Word, get this package. It's worth it! I love it! We need more shows like this, keep breaking that class ceiling. More glasses needs to be swept.

Memories NOT LOST! 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I grew up watching Sid & Marty Krofft shows! I remember this one the most! Every Saturdat morning I would wait for it to come on and you couldn't pry me away from the Television! (I did cover my eyes immediately when the sleestacks came on, for some reason I was deathly afraid of them back then...I also referred to them as the "sweestacks" and my parents still laugh at me to this day!)

Anyway, I wanted to share my Saturday morning experience with my son because we were recently discussing what was on when I was young. At first I was unsure on which disc to buy. I know that the entire first season is out, but this disc has two great interviews with both Holly and Cha-ka that I think made this disc worth the money. (Along with the episodes that are included on the disc of course!) I loved my Saturday's with the Marshall family : )

It's been fun revisiting my childhood and the Land of the Lost. I have great memories and now they are just a dvd away! It's great to see these older shows coming to dvd and I highly recommend them to anyone that was young or old growing up in the 1970's!

"RETURN WITH US TO THE THRILLING DAYS OF YESTERYEAR! The most famous question of the Old West is ""Who was that masked man?"" The hero of the dusty plains is the Lone Ranger, clad in a black mask and carrying a gun loaded with silver bullets. Riding with Tonto, his faithful Indian sidekick, the Lone Ranger fights injustice on his galloping horse Silver, leaving behind a cloud of dust as he lets loose the hearty cry of ""Hi Yo Silver!""

Clad all in black, and raising his sword in the name of justice, he is Zorro, the Latin hero of the South! Secretly nobleman Don Diego, Zorro defends the poor and downtrodden from tyranny and cruelty, with the help of his trusty companion Miguel! His calling card is the letter "Z," a mark he leaves behind with three slashes of his sword to remind evildoers that he is protecting the land. Spotlighting the work of the legendary Filmation Studios, this volume features eleven thrilling adventures of THE LONE RANGER, and six heart-racing tales of ZORRO! With a stellar voice cast that includes William Conrad and Henry Darrow, this pair of action heroes fight for justice on DVD for the first time ever, alongside swashbuckling special features!

The origin of a great American hero 5 out of 5 stars.
32 of 36 people found this review helpful.

This three-episode television classic was filmed in 1949 and introduced Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels as the Lone Ranger and Tonto. This seminal film details the masked man's origins as a Texas Ranger who was ambushed with five fellow rangers by outlaw Butch Cavendish, the Ranger's recovery with Tonto's help, why he conceals his identity with a mask, how he finds Silver, and their round-up and arrest of the Cavendish gang. Moore and Silverheels were perfect as the two leads in this series and portrayed the characters as no one else could have. They were supported by some of the old-school, venerable character actors of the day such as Glenn Strange, George Lewis, Tris Coffin, George Chesboro, and Walter Sande. The crisp black and white photography stands up well with time and the Lone Ranger "mood music" is a superb, nostalgic accompaniment to the action as the Ranger and Tonto fight for law and order in the early west. Each of the three episodes is wonderfully narrated by way of introduction, and the narration is also used to introduce key plot situations.

Editorial Review:

The Lone Ranger was created for radio in 1933 by George W. Trendle. Starring Clayton Moore as the title character and Jay Silverheels as his faithful companion, Tonto, The Lone Ranger went on to become one of the most popular westerns in history. Clayton Moore passed away in 1999, but he has left us the legacy of a lawman that always shot to wound, not kill, and never sought personal reward for his good deeds. Through Moore's portrayal, The Lone Ranger has become a symbol of individualism and justice that transcends its time and genre. (Black & White, PLUS one color episode from the popular television series.)

Now that the first season is out SKIP THIS Rip-Off! 3 out of 5 stars.
89 of 91 people found this review helpful.

The episode contained here is a very good one. And I can think of nothing bad to say about it. And the documentary is very good as well. But you get the SAME episode and the SAME documentary {no other extra's though} PLUS 22 more episodes with the first season set. If you can not afford the first season set this would be better than nothing. But if you can afford it, avoide this and buy the first season. Had I known the first season DVD's were comming 5 months ago I WOULD HAVE!!

Real fans should boycott these piecemeal releases 2 out of 5 stars.
33 of 36 people found this review helpful.

This is typical of a bad DVD release. It looks like a crude attempt to extract as much revenue as possible from large base of loyal fans. Some reviewers who wax lyrical over the 'special' interview features and "insight into the show" in this single episode DVD either work for the publisher or miss the point that any of these items could have been included in a 'full season' release. This piecemeal approach is frustrating for real fans of the series who, to date, have seen only one complete season released. I for one will protest with my wallet. It stays shut until the complete seasons are released.

Terrific In Color 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

Got out this set from its honored place in my DVD collection and re-viewed it yesterday while at home nursing a sprained ankle. What a great way to give yourself some "R & R" !!!!

The Lone Ranger was always a superb television series, but the addition of color near the end of the series' run was a great idea on the part of producer Jack Wrather...and a shrewd
set-up for the upcoming feature film productions. And when Wrather went to color, he did it right. Some of the color work on the last seasons of "The Adventures of Superman" was uneven, but Wrather's "Lone Ranger" and "Sergeant Preston of the Yukon"
shows were photographed gorgeously. The colors in this Ranger collection are vivid and eye-catching.

The stories and acting hold up well, too. When LR creator Geo. Trendle first began shooting this series (as "Apex Film Corp.")in 1949, he had Clayton Moore act somewhat wooden and stiff (Trendle's idea of "stoic & heroic") and directed him to use
perfect diction in the delivering of his lines. After Wrather took over in 1954 this loosened up a bit and allowed Moore a
bit more leeway in his interpretation of the masked Mr. John Reid. Moore took the opportunity to infuse more and more of himself into the Ranger (while still using good grammar) and the meld became so perfect that the two---the actor and the character---virtually became one (as was also the case with William Boyd as Hopalong Cassidy and Duncan Renaldo as the Cisco Kid).

Jay Silverheels likewise had become the quintessential Tonto.

The three-episodes-a-week shooting schedules used in those days (for a half-hour show it could be done, but the pace was exhausting)
result in something one notices immediately in this collection---wherein episodes can be watched back to back; that being that the same actors can often be seen(sometimes in the same costumes) over and over again. In one show a young would-be
Sheriff is helped by the Ranger and Tonto to rid a mining town of bullying outlaws, and, the next thing you know, this same young fellow (now wearing a stick-on mustache) is a deputy town marshal , helping the Ranger help the blinded chief marshal get back his hope for living. And one of the baddies from the previous episode is in this one as well, wearing the same clothes. When you watched these on t.v. years ago...shown a week apart...and often out of shooting sequence...you didn't catch this sort of thing. Only now can you see how they worked this and it gives you a greater appreciation of how much inventiveness and ingenuity went into these rush-job productions.

Clayton Moore's principle stuntman, Bill Ward, shows his stuff to good effect in these episodes. Ward was great at "ape-ing"
Clayton Moore's carraige and body language and this makes the
doubling much more effective and exciting. Ward...not that well known compared to other Hollywood stunt stars like Yakima Canutt,Dave Sharpe,Tom Steele, or Dale Van Sickle...was, nevertheless, wonderful at his trade. In his athleticism, agility, and coordination, Ward was strikingly similar to Dave Sharpe in his stuntwork. In fact, for a long time this reviewer believed that the fabulous "bulldogging" stunt at the end of the 1956 Warner Brothers theatrical movie "The Lone Ranger" was DONE by David Sharpe (an awesome leap from Silver, coming up from behind stuntman Bob Morgan...doubling "baddie' Robert Wilke...followed by a tremendous rolling fistfight down a steep hillside). This "gag" had all the athletic earmarks of Sharpe, but in his book "I Was That Masked Man", Clayton Moore reveals that it was, in fact, Bill Ward wearing the mask in that amazing sequence. All Ranger fans owe it to themselves to see this great western and to marvel at the climactic fight, but Ward is on his game in this television collection as well, and does a bang-up job of providing exciting physical action on the Ranger's part.

One of the hallmarks of the entire Lone Ranger saga, on radio, in the movies, and on television, was its respect for the American Indians and their cultures. This respect is there in all the Clayton Moore productions, to be sure. This is quite true in an episode called "Ghost Canyon", where cowboy baddies try to crook a local tribe out of their heard of horses. They do this with assistance of the chief's "nephew", the only "bad" Indian around. Turns out, though, that the "nephew" is a fake,
a half-breed ex-con who doesn't really have an Indian heart or soul after all. He has killed the real nephew and taken his place.

This set is enclosed in a "saddlebag" package by Rhino Video that is pretty nifty and attractive. It is a good buy for the money, great nostalgia, and just good old fashioned storytelling
about the kind of hero/role-model for young people that we see
FAR too little of today.

VOLUME 2

The Beast of Royston Vasey - As the monstrous discovery drives workers to flee the road construction site, Mr. Chinnery is called in to investigate the find. Legz Akimbo, a theatre-in-education group, pays the school an eye-opening visit, and Ben is left alone with the twins.

Love Comes to Royston Vasey - Mike's getting married. On retrospect it may have been a mistake to let Geoff be best man. Les McQueen regales the band with reminiscences of his rock-n-roll days. The Dentons mourn the passing of Uncle Harvey's beloved toads, Sonny and Cher.

Escape From Royston Vasey - Tubbs and Edwards have an unexpected visit from their son, David. It's Geoff's birthday, but have Mike and Brian forgotten? Ben grows more desperate to leave his uncle's house, and it's Operation Day for Babs.
