Because honestly, I did not know this. Or if I ever did at any point it was buried so far back into my subconscious that it was lost in a memory black hole. But he was related. In the original radio broadcast he was the grandson/grand-nephew of The Lone Ranger because that broadcast was a spin-off of The Lone Ranger radio show. And then that little tidbit got lost when it went into TV because of ownership issues. Does it crop up every once in a while? I don’t know. I haven’t seen the recent movies. Any comments on that?
I did some digging. Not a lot but I am curious. So, a couple of links that I’ve found so far for more information:
- The Lone Ranger – Green Hornet Connection – nice article about the chronology of their connection
- The Green Hornet and The Lone Ranger – mostly about the similarities of the two early TV series
This is one that fascinates me so much that I’m still digging, so if anyone runs across other material about it, let me know.
