Hey, I Remember This Show: The Lone Ranger (1966)

The more I learn about the real-life Texas Rangers, the more I regret spending so many hours watching this show as a child. If only more real-life Rangers had lived up to the ideal expressed in this show, I might feel less guilty.

Actually The Cisco Kid Was Not A Friend of Mine

Neither was his friend Pancho.

Some of my older cousins on my father's side sometimes watched their show but I never really got into it.

Oddly enough, the one Western hero I bothered to watch on a regular basis when I was a kid was The Lone Ranger. And given the type of reputation the Texas Rangers often had in the Mexican-American community, I can't help but find that ironic.
