Cast episode counts

JDLewis007 just "corrected" Jay Silverheels episode count in the Cast section from 221 (the total run) to 217. I'd love to know just which four he thinks the actor missed. If that's the number for him at the IMDb, that just means that since they began having separate pages for each episode of a series, Silverheels isn't listed on four of them.

Also, it puts Fred Foy as Announcer in all 221, which is not true, as Gerald Mohr did that at first. I have a DVD of several early episodes, and even the stock opening ("A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hearty 'Hi yo, Silver'...") is his voice, not Foy's. Public domain syndication/video prints of many early episodes have a b/w copy of the Foy-narrated final color season's opening in place of the original (there is much more foliage in the background of the later version). Consequently, I have serious doubts that Foy actually worked the TV version at all before the final season. I certainly don't believe Mohr was replaced after only 15 episodes of the 52-show first season; internal narration dropped at that point, maybe, but his stock opening track must have continued to be used for some time. Can we get some good source for these numbers? --Tbrittreid (talk) 22:22, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where'o Silver?

So what network broadcast “The Lone Ranger”? TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 18:25, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

John Hart episodes in syndication

The statement that the eps.with John Hart as the Lone Ranger weren't repeated until the 1980's is incorrect.I believe they started syndicating those eps.in the mid '60's once all the network showings[1st run airings and Sat.morning airings]were done.I know they were shown on WPGH TV Ch.53 in Pgh.on Sat.Mornings in 1975 and 1976 as I remember watching them.```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68left (talk • contribs) 05:15, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Movies compiled from TV episodes?

When I was little, before the advent of cable TV, our local TV station used to telecast movies that were compiled from color episodes of the TV series. Instead of a movie with one continuous plot, they had three episodes in one movie. The movies always began with a theme song that told the story of the Lone Ranger. Does anyone else remember those? Were they actually produced by Hollywood studios, or was that a project of local TV stations? 67.45.113.172 (talk) 15:48, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Guest stars

Some guest stars have only their names and the episodes they appear in, some have varying levels of detail about their reasons for notability. Are these notes necessary? If so, how much detail is too much? Asking for feedback here before I start cutting them out. --Khajidha (talk) 12:04, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The typical end fight sequence in each episode

I think the typical end fight sequence in each episode should be mentioned. The Lone Ranger would be riding after 2 bandits who were also on horses. He would simultaneously knock both of them down to the ground, rendering one unconscious, whilst then getting into a fist fight with the other one. Just as he knocked out that bandit, the 2nd one would regain consciousness and another fist fight would then ensue until that bandit was knocked unconscious again. Not every single episode ended like that, but it was the typical formula. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.210.174 (talk) 15:37, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You would need to cite a reliable source stating that it's notable. DonQuixote (talk) 18:48, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
