Not The Best

"I have to agree with "mecwag." Not having the original music at the opening and closing credits corrupts the viewing experience. "High Heels" (one of the few episodes I have watched so far) appears to be truncated. Visually, though, it's excellent.
Anything that has AMC attached to it usually means a product less than what it can be. AMC, on cable tv, runs commercials in the middle of movies and, at times, squeezes in text at the bottom of the screen as the movie is airing, thus further corrupting the film experience. Yes, if you treasure the Lone Ranger, skip any DVD releases involving the AMC name."
Great but also not so great

"I have to say from the onset that the quality of this set was extremely good. But, I also have to say that I was expecting more. SHAME ON YOU, AMC!!
I was expecting (hoping) to see the original (1949) opening credits and theme song. But, what I got was a cleaned up version of the distribution opening like the ones that TV Land used. I would have gladly given up quality for the original opening and closing.
If you are a true, and by that I mean older, fan of The Lone Ranger and are looking for the pure, genuine TV show, this is not for you."
