The Lone Ranger
The last original episode of The Lone Ranger was broadcast September 3, 1954
and transcribed repeats of the 1952–53 episodes continued to be aired on ABC
until June 24, 1955. The cowboy hero first appeared in January of 1933 in a
radio show aired over WXYZ in Detroit, Michigan. The title character was played
by George Seaton, Earle Graser, and Brace Beemer.
The Fugitive aired for four seasons on ABC, and a total of 120 51-minute episodes
were produced. The first three seasons were filmed in black and white; the final
season was in color.
In 2002, The Fugitive was ranked No. 36 on TV Guide’s 50 Greatest TV Shows of
All Time. TV Guide named the one-armed man #5 in their 2013 list of The 60
Nastiest Villains of All Time.
The finale was watched by 72 percent of American TV households — a record that
still stands.
