The Lone Ranger…Something You My Not Have Known

Here’s Clayton Moore visiting ABC affiliate WATE in Knoxville during a charity telethon. The show’s original run was from September 1949 till September 1957 on ABC. It starred Jay Silverheals as Tonoto and Moore as The Lone Ranger, BUT…from 52 till 53, Moore was replaced by John Heart over a salary dispute. Unless any of us saw and remember the first run of the show, we would never have known this because when ABC, CBS and NBC aired the show in reruns, they never aired the season with John Heart. Thanks to James Finch for the photo.
