I give it 1 thumb up, 1 thumb down. I would say wait for it on DVD.
I think that trying to make it like the original would have been pretty difficult. The original was at first a radio series then a television series. Each week there was a different villain, a different victim and a different crime to be avenged. They needed a story and decided on the story of how he became the Lone Ranger. I got the impression that the original series picked up where this left off.

What would you have done to make it more like the original?
