First, the bad news, which isn't really all that bad, but anyway, at Best Buy I saw a Lone Ranger DVD set that comes in a lunchbox (under $15, so nice). So I bought it for my '50s TV DVD collection. Only problem is, the stupid company who put out the DVD put a watermark bug in the lower right hand corner for a minute or so twice an episode! http://www.atariage.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/atariage/icon_mad.gif Apparently they wanted to make well sure that you had bought a PLATINUM HOME VIDEO! Which is stupid because Platinum home video didn't even release it! According to the box it was a company called Echo Bridge. And most of the episodes i skimmed through so far (by putting Windows Media Player in Fast Forward mode) had a copyright date of 1949, so that was cool to see old stuff before 1950. And now the good news. My Game Gear wasn't very bright, so I went to the game place and finally bought that Game Gear that had been sitting there for a few weeks. The thing was a little brighter than my old one, which made me happy. And there is a winter storm warning until 10pm tomorrow night, so we may or may not get snow tonight.
