The Lone Ranger is one of the most iconic Western television shows ever to hit the air. However, it certainly didn’t receive the same amount of love when it came to certain audiences. The Lone Rangers only received three awards nominations over the course of its existence, starting in 1949 until its end after season 5 in 1957. The show never earned a single award, but it’ll always have the following nominations under its belt.
The plot follows a former Texas Ranger known as the Lone Ranger, played by Clayton Moore. After his brother and fellow lawmen die in an ambush, a Native American man he once saved named Tonto (Jay Silverheels) returns the favor. Wearing a piece of his brother’s clothing as a mask, the Lone Ranger fights outlaws along with Tonto across the Old West.

I grew up watching Bob Clampett’s Beany And Cecil in reruns, and immediately fell in love with everyone’s favorite seasick sea serpent, his lil’ beanie-wearing buddy, Beany’s squinty-eyed, bearded Captain Uncle and that most dastardly of villains, Dishonest John. After checking some websites, I discovered that only one (yes, One!) DVD of the 1960s animated series has been released on DVD—and that was back in 2000! So another collection of Clampett’s beloved cartoon was loooong overdue, and Hen’s Tooth Video has met that demand with Bob Clampett’S Beany And Cecil: The Special Edition: Volume Two. The one-disc DVD only includes 11 episodes (which run around six minutes each, give or take), but there’s a Ton of bonus features to go over, so let’s get started. I’m coming, Beany boy!
