Maybe we can have a version of The Lone Ranger without stunt-casting his faithful Indian companion?
I still haven't seen Cowboys & Aliens yet, but it is the only movie in about a year that I look forward to seeing because it seems like classic escapist fare -- nothing that will win awards, just silly fun. And that is what The Lone Ranger was, and it is what it ought to be. I watched the syndicated version of the serial in the '70s. If memory serves, the Lone Ranger would air alongside shows like The Munsters and Adam-12 on KTLA in Los Angeles. I don't believe I've seen it since then, the lone (sorry) exception being the episode of "The Greatest American Hero" featuring The Lone Ranger. I assume the episodes would be cheesy by today's standards, but back then they got the job done.
