'THE LONE RANGER' RADIO SHOW


'THE LONE RANGER' radio show debuted on January 30, 1933.
It went on for a whopping 2,956 episodes!
* some say January 31

"In the early days of the western United States, a masked man and an Indian rode the plains, searching for truth and justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when from out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver! The Lone Ranger rides again!"

The radio series inspired a spinoff called The Green Hornet, which depicts the son of the Lone Ranger's nephew Dan, Britt Reid.
