51163	When Saturday Morning was Fun	<p>Welcome to September, hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day!</p> <p>I have something a bit unique to share. <strong>Herb Klynn</strong> was Production Chief at UPA animation studio in Los Angeles. Both Herb Klynn and his friend <strong>Jules Engel</strong> had a passion for The Lone Ranger since childhood. These two men created their own production company to revive The Lone Ranger for a new generation. Herb Klynn was especially eager to improve the incidental musical score, lacking in previous productions, to match the majesty of the William Tell Overture.</p> <p>Development for a new Lone Ranger caught the attention of CBS, with program planners suggesting animation instead of live-action. A cartoon series with dramatic music would be unique as a network offering, and it would coordinate well with the new CBS series, The Wild, Wild West, which premiered in 1965.</p> <p>The result was television magic! A new Lone Ranger animated series aired Saturday mornings on CBS for 1966, complimented by The Wild, Wild West live-action series as a Saturday evening primetime show for CBS. There was a bit of crossover of stories and characters between the two, but the outstanding feature of the Lone Ranger cartoon was the extreme 2-D flatness of the artwork highlighted by heavy black shadowing similar to comic book art. </p> <p>But the star of this show was the music. All incidental back scores were performed by the same orchestra that performed the William Tell Overture theme!</p> <p>Listen to the voice actor Paul Winchell as the evil Rainmaker. This is top quality work that made The Lone Ranger a standout among Saturday morning cartoons from the 1960's.</p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qWVUPHNpAYw?si=KSj4cmt7xWJwOI0Q" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>	eddstarr	Sep 05, 2025
51162	If There Was a Retro Hall of Fame...	<p>Macarena</p> <p>Whether you loved it or despised it, there;s no denying its impact on the 90s. And there's no denying it deserves a place in the RHOF,</p> <div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWaymcVmJ-A"> <div> <div style="height:0; left:0; padding-bottom:56.25%; position:relative; width:100%"><iframe allow="accelerometer ; clipboard-write ; encrypted-media ; gyroscope ; picture-in-picture ; web-share ;" allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" src="//if-cdn.com/nbcxkaO" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" tabindex="-1"></iframe></div> </div> </div> <p> </p>	Mr Magic	Sep 04, 2025

51158	If There Was a Retro Hall of Fame...	<p>My next nomination for a Retro Hall Of Fame is the Harry Potter series (but ONLY the first six books and first four movies), as I am of the opinion that the series peaked with the sixth book and only the first four movies were good adaptations of the books...and even then they still weren't as good as their book counterparts. Plus, only the first six books and the first four movies can truly qualify as retro right now.</p> <p><strong>I do own the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for the Prisoner Of Azkaban movie on vinyl and here is a picture of it below:</strong></p> <p><strong><img alt="" height="667" src="http://retro-daze.org/upload/06C6DB74-E175-40D4-8D33-3EAAC58D8DD2.jpeg" width="500" /></strong></p>	BionicleFan1994	Sep 03, 2025
