00:05Hmm, sounds like they got some trouble at the Rusty Spurk.
00:12Anytime, anywhere, when help is needed, I'll be there.
00:16Hiya!
00:18What in tarnation's going on in there?
00:21Seems more like a question of what's coming out of there.
00:25Why, you low-bound, can't-tell, double-crossing, weird-for-nothing varmint.
00:31What's that, Pinky?
00:33Ah, I mean, Miss Pinky.
00:37That's Western talk for you, you little cheater.
00:40I want fear and square.
00:43On my knees now, Weird Bell Hiccup.
00:46Well, what is it then?
00:49Quiet, duck.
00:51Oh, you're asking for it, Gonzo.
00:55Don't come any closer, Pinky.
00:58I'm warning you.
00:59Let me see those cards.
01:08It's the Range Rider.
01:11Na-na-na-na-na-na-na.
01:12You come back here, you hiccup, and where's...
01:15Oh, ah, ah.
01:17Why, Range Rider, this is a surprise.
01:22What seems to be the problem here, Miss Pinky?
01:24Uh, somebody said they caught Weird Bell cheating at cards.
01:29Is that so?
01:30The Range Rider doesn't like cheating.
01:32I didn't cheat.
01:34Why did Bob cheat it, not me?
01:37What?
01:38Boys, I'm afraid you're going to have to let me see your hands.
01:41Huh?
01:42Okay.
01:45Not those hands.
01:46Your cards, silly.
01:49Oh, sorry.
01:51Hmm.
01:53Two mackrels and a flounder.
01:55Well, seems to me we're going to have to sort this out with your nanny.
01:59Nanny?
02:00Oh, that one gets him every time.
02:03All right.
02:04Come along peaceful-like, fellas.
02:06Peaceful, schmeeseful.
02:08I didn't do nothing wrong.
02:10I'm getting out of here quick-like.
02:12Oh.
02:13Hey, Weird Bill.
02:14You can't escape from the range.
02:16Yeah.
02:17Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
02:18Rider.
02:20Howdy, fellas.
02:21Ma'am.
02:22Gee, mister.
02:23If you wanted to play goldfish with us, all you had to do was ask.
02:28It's all right, stranger.
02:29I was going to lose anyway with Mr. Nosey Bill here peeking at my card.
02:36Oh, me, Miss Pinky?
02:38Oh, yes, you.
02:40Do you know what happens to little blue cowpokes who can't keep their noses out of other people's business?
02:46Oh, they want a free can of saddle soap?
02:50Not exactly.
02:52Come here.
02:55There.
02:57So that's how cowboy hats get this way.
03:00Are you kids all right?
03:01I thought I heard a crash.
03:03Hi, Nanny.
03:04I didn't hear anything.
03:06Did you, Gondo?
03:08No.
03:09And I didn't smell anything either.
03:13Oh, sorry, Nanny.
03:16I guess we just got carried away watching my favorite hero, the range rider.
03:21Hey, Germit, look.
03:22And so as the range rider rides off into the sunset for the last time on this station,
03:27we bid him a fond farewell.
03:30Tune in tomorrow for a new daytime drama as the toast burns.
03:34Gosh, what does that mean, Nanny?
03:37I guess the range rider won't be on TV anymore.
03:40Why not?
03:41Well, that show's been running since I was a little girl, Germit.
03:45They probably ran out of episodes to rerun.
03:48Ran out?
03:49But what's the range rider going to do?
03:51Well, he's probably pretty old, too, by now.
03:54You can't ride the range forever, you know.
03:57Don't you think he deserves a little rest?
03:59Well, sure, Nanny.
04:00But he's my hero.
04:02Who's going to protect the old west from outlaws and junk?
04:05Gosh, I don't know, Germit.
04:07Someone new always seems to come along.
04:09Now I've got work to do.
04:11I'll check in you kids later, okay?
04:13Okay, Nanny.
04:17Gee, Germit, that's too bad about the range rider.
04:20You can play fish with us if you want to.
04:23Yeah, the winner gets this really weird coloring book, Nanny.
04:27See?
04:28Good luck.
04:31Sheesh.
04:32No thanks, guys.
04:33I don't feel much like playing.
04:36Okay, Gonzo.
04:37It's your turn to deal.
04:38And deal right this time.
04:40Okay, okay.
04:43Hello?
04:45Anybody hello?
04:46Sure is quiet.
04:49Hey, everything's just the same as it was on TV.
04:54I wonder where the range rider is.
04:59Gosh, the old west wasn't very well built, was it?
05:03Don't you know how to use a door, son?
05:05Um, huh?
05:06Oh, sorry, mister.
05:08I was just looking for the range rider.
05:10Well, you don't say.
05:12Um, yes, I do.
05:14Have you seen him?
05:15Well, that depends.
05:17What do you want him for?
05:18Well, my name's Kermit, and I'm one of his biggest fans.
05:22Yeah, don't say.
05:24Yes, I do.
05:25And Nanny says he's probably old and needs to rest.
05:28And that's why he's not going to be on TV anymore.
05:31This Nanny gal sounds pretty smart.
05:33Yeah, but if he does that, who's going to be the hero that protects the old west?
05:39Well, who knows?
05:40Maybe you, son.
05:41Me?
05:42I could never be a hero.
05:44Now, now, you might surprise yourself someday.
05:48Hey!
05:49Huh?
05:49Nice catch, son.
05:51Sorry.
05:52Hey, this thing isn't heavy.
05:54Well, that's your first lesson, Kermit.
05:56It's always easier to be a hero when you're not thinking about it.
06:00That's a movie problem.
06:02Now, let's see.
06:03An outfit.
06:04The first thing you're going to need is a pair of boots.
06:07Huh?
06:08Um, don't you think they're a little too big?
06:11No, you're still growing, ain't you?
06:14Now, let's see.
06:15You need a hat.
06:16Oh!
06:17I don't think frogs ever grow this big.
06:20Don't worry about it.
06:22We'll stuff some paper in there.
06:24Hmm.
06:25We're going to need a special horse.
06:28You're an old Trixie, don't you?
06:30Oh, Lee.
06:31That's the Rage Rider's horse.
06:34Oh, that's perfect.
06:36Well, all you need is a handle.
06:38A handle?
06:39Yeah, you know, a name.
06:42But I've already got a name.
06:43Not that kind of a name.
06:45A hero name, like Hop Along Froggy or...
06:49He is kind of green and rangy, isn't he?
06:53That's it.
06:54The Green Ranger.
06:57Now, up you go, son.
06:58The Green Ranger?
07:00Sure, but I've never ridden a real horse like Trixie before.
07:04Oh, there's nothing to it.
07:06You just say,
07:07Yeah, when you want her to go,
07:10and Whoa, when you want her to stop.
07:13And don't forget your motto.
07:15Anytime, anywhere,
07:17when helpers need it all bizarre.
07:20But that's the Range Rider's motto.
07:22Oh, he won't mind.
07:24Trust me.
07:25But I don't know how to be a hero.
07:27Whoa, you'll figure it out.
07:30And if you fall off,
07:32just get right back up there in the saddle.
07:34Fall off?
07:36Yeah!
07:41Stop! Stop!
07:43I mean, Whoa, Trixie!
07:46Yeah!
07:47He did say, Whoa.
07:49Whoa!
07:50Whoa!
07:52Hello again.
07:53Make up your mind, Kermy.
07:55Do you want to play or not?
07:57We win, me win!
07:59Hey, give me that coloring book.
08:02Uh-uh.
08:03The game's not over, Animal!
08:07Everything all right in here?
08:09Oopsie.
08:10You were right, Nanny.
08:12The Range Rider is taking a rest.
08:14And his friend said I should take his place.
08:16He did?
08:17Yeah, but I don't think I'm good enough.
08:21Well, I think you'd make a fine cowboy hero, Kermit.
08:24You just need a little practice.
08:26Really?
08:27Sure.
08:28Just take it one step at a time, okay?
08:31Okay.
08:32Bye, Nanny.
08:33Coloring book!
08:34Me win!
08:36La, la, la, la, la, la.
08:37Huh?
08:38Animal!
08:39Come back here!
08:40Hey, Kermit.
08:41Did you really talk to the Range Rider?
08:43Uh-uh.
08:44But I met an old man who knows him.
08:46He gave me his horse and everything.
08:48See?
08:49Gotcha!
08:50Yee-haw!
08:55Wow!
08:56Gee, Kermit, that's really cool.
08:59Hmm.
09:00Now, how do I start to be a hero?
09:02But, Kermit, you've always been a hero to moi.
09:06Meep, meep.
09:07Roadrunner Animal Hero.
09:08Him finally, him fast.
09:11Meep, meep.
09:12La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
09:14Come back here!
09:15Oh, yeah!
09:15Josh.
09:16I know how you feel, Piggy.
09:18But this Western Hero stuff is different.
09:21Why, that stuff's easy.
09:23Nanny's right.
09:24All you need is a little practice.
09:26And I'm just the guy to give it to you.
09:29Huh?
09:30You are?
09:30Howdy, partner.
09:34Step right up here.
09:35Don't be shy.
09:36Who are you?
09:37Scouty Wagon Master.
09:39One of the great unknown heroes of the Old West.
09:42The traveling salesman.
09:44Oh, boy.
09:46I'm the one who taught all them other heroes how.
09:49And now, it's got a new bed of hero training books.
09:53But I can't read.
09:55You look at pictures, don't you?
09:58Everything's drawn out for you.
10:00Nice and simple-like, see?
10:02Did you say simple?
10:05Simple as falling off a horse.
10:08Falling off a horse?
10:15Oh, boy.
10:17Gosh.
10:18It sure sounds like a fella could get hurt in this hero business.
10:21No problem.
10:23I got knee pads, shoulder pads, elbow pads, crash helmets, and chin straps in every color there is.
10:29Plus, these patented cushion ride cowboy chaps.
10:33They take the sore out of saddle sore.
10:35Like a pair?
10:38Well...
10:42Maybe later.
10:47What is that?
10:50Uh-huh.
10:51Thought so.
10:53Two of the craziest critters on the prairie.
10:55Crawlius, fastius...
10:57Fastius?
10:58Scientific talk for road crawler.
11:01Oh, my God.
11:04Oh, my God.
11:05Gosh.
11:06He is a pretty fast crawler.
11:09Come back here with that coloring book, you crazy father.
11:12And who's he supposed to be?
11:15Loosh-Nazis-Weirdius.
11:17Which means...
11:18Weirdo Coyote.
11:20Been trying to catch that road crawler all his life.
11:23Okay, so let's begin.
11:26Cowboy Hero Chapter 1.
11:28Well, okay.
11:32You can't learn how to be a hero from a book.
11:35You gotta learn from a real hero.
11:37Like me.
11:39You?
11:40Sure.
11:41You heard a skeety oak the angel?
11:44Well, um...
11:45No, brother.
11:47Quiet, Scoutie.
11:48I got the greatest little cowboy school in the West.
11:52So, what do you say?
11:54Well, I, uh...
11:56Good.
11:56I thought we'd start with something simple like roping a party.
12:00Toast.
12:00Now, watch close.
12:02Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
12:08Hero, you try it.
12:19Uh-oh.
12:23Here is it.
12:28Oh, boy.
12:34I've heard him write in the rings before, but this is ridiculous.
12:45You're let go of the hoot.
12:49Let go of the hoot.
12:52Woo-hoo-hoo!
13:00Show off.
13:02Sheesh.
13:03Pretty good for a beginner.
13:05Oh, now I know why cowboys walk like this.
13:09Not bad, Kermit.
13:11Now for hero lesson number two.
13:14Uh, guys, I don't know about these hero lessons.
13:17Beep, beep.
13:20Oh, no.
13:22Here they come again.
13:29I'll catch that root crawler this time.
13:36Um, sheesh.
13:37This guy never learns, does he, Trixie?
13:40No.
13:43What?
14:02Whoa, partner, you're trying to become a hero or a tumbleweed?
14:07Hmm?
14:08Or is this what you city boys call spring training?
14:13Very funny.
14:15Get me out of here, would you?
14:16Sure thing.
14:17Wrap on to that tree.
14:24Oh, that's a lot better.
14:27Sorry.
14:34Now you kids look like you could use some serious help.
14:38Get us out of this thing, would you, Trixie?
14:41Yeah, please.
14:42Okie dokie.
14:44Oh, yeah.
14:47Thanks.
14:48No problem.
14:51Now what?
14:52Yoo-hoo, green red hair.
14:55Hi there.
14:57I'll help you.
15:02Uh, who are you?
15:04Well, I'm Pinky Sue Ewing.
15:07And this is my press agent and driver, Scoot.
15:11Huh?
15:11Howdy, y'all.
15:14You don't need lessons to be a hero.
15:17I don't?
15:18He doesn't?
15:19Nope.
15:20All Kermie, I mean, the Green Ranger needs is moi.
15:24She does?
15:26I do.
15:27A modern cowgirl with beauty, pranks and a great head for business.
15:33Modern cowgirl?
15:35Uh-huh.
15:35Just like on nighttime TV.
15:39Now where was I?
15:41Oh, yes.
15:42New West, Old West, it's all big business.
15:46Right, Scoot?
15:48That's right, Pinky.
15:51This is some office, eh, Green Ranger?
15:54Yeah, but what's it got to do with being a hero?
15:58Huh?
15:59Uh, well, uh...
16:00With a partner like me, you go straight to the top, Green Ranger.
16:05Partner?
16:06That's right.
16:07Now here, put on these clothes.
16:09Well, but...
16:11But nothing.
16:12Go on now.
16:13Scoot.
16:13What?
16:14Not you.
16:15Him.
16:16Oh.
16:18Excuse me, Miss Ewing, but where do I fit in?
16:22Oh, I was gonna talk to you about that, Trixie.
16:26You're such a good horsey.
16:28Uh, we thought you might like a nice long holiday, stay in a beautiful pasture somewhere.
16:35How does that sound?
16:36Well, sounds pretty good, but...
16:40Bye-bye.
16:43You look fabulous.
16:46Thanks.
16:46Um, where's Trixie?
16:49Oh, forget about Trixie.
16:50We've got big plans for you.
16:52First, we put you on the covers of Green People Magazine and Ox and Plows, see?
16:57Gosh.
16:58Then, there'll be candy bars, cartoons, a TV series, and Green Ranger, the movie.
17:06Naturally, I will be your co-star.
17:09Naturally.
17:10Well, uh, uh...
17:12We'll even have our own dolls.
17:14This one's my favorite, cause you can dance with it.
17:18Pleased to meet you.
17:20Yikes!
17:23We still have a few bugs to work out on that one.
17:25But guess this!
17:26We've recorded your very own Green Ranger theme song!
17:32Huh?
17:33Hit it, boys!
17:35Hit it, boys!
17:38Yippee-ki-yay, cowboy!
17:41He's known throughout the West, as the fastest and the best.
17:45Cause you have all the rustlers out of town!
17:48And what?
17:49And while he was doing that, he saved the kitty cash!
17:53And it's falling in a mugshot and small town!
17:57What?
17:58Yeah!
17:58Green Ranger!
18:00He's no stranger to danger!
18:02He shoved his nails twice and trails!
18:05Green Ranger!
18:07Oh!
18:07As the train approached the town, the conductor couldn't slow it down!
18:12So the ranger used his rope to stop it cold!
18:15A beer?
18:16And while he was doing that, he saved another cat!
18:20And the whole ranger was being locked!
18:23And so he tied up the bad guys, uh, put the kitty to mess and then he gave back a
18:28thong!
18:28Oh, boy!
18:29Green Ranger!
18:31He's no stranger to danger!
18:33He's being tall!
18:35No way!
18:35Whatever!
18:36Green Ranger!
18:38Green Ranger!
18:40He's no stranger to danger!
18:43He rides the horse through that, of course!
18:45Green Ranger!
18:48Green Ranger!
18:50Green Ranger!
18:50Yee-haw!
18:51Woo-hoo!
18:53So, Kermit, what do you think?
18:55Yeah, what?
18:56I don't know you guys.
18:58There must be more to being a hero than roping and riding, or wearing fancy outfits,
19:04or having songs written about stuff you never did.
19:07Gosh, maybe I'm just not the hero type.
19:13Hey, Animal, cut it out!
19:16Oh!
19:18Come back here, you!
19:23Excuse me, Piggy.
19:25Uh, Animal, would you please stop that and give Gonzo back his coloring book?
19:30Huh?
19:30Huh?
19:31OK.
19:32Huh?
19:35OK, thanks, Kermit.
19:38Hey, Animal, how come you didn't do that before?
19:41Nursi, please.
19:44Oh.
19:44Oh, Kermie.
19:47Oopsie.
19:48Piggy, look out!
19:49Huh?
19:51Ah!
19:51Oh!
19:53Kermie!
19:54You saved me!
19:56I did?
19:57Gosh.
19:58Just like a real hero.
19:59Wow.
19:59And I wasn't even thinking about it.
20:02Oh, my.
20:04Are you kids all right?
20:06Thanks to Kermit, Nanny.
20:08He saved me.
20:10And he got Animal to give Gonzo back his coloring book, too.
20:14Just by saying, please.
20:16Why, Kermit, sounds like you're a real hero after all.
20:21But not like the Range Rider, Nanny.
20:23But you learn from the Range Rider, Kermit.
20:25The best heroes are the ones who do things for other people.
20:29Like you did for Piggy and Gonzo.
20:32Really, Nanny?
20:33Yes.
20:34Really, Kermit.
20:35Yeah!
20:36Kermit!
20:37You did it!
20:38Oh, wow.
20:39Yay, Kermit!
20:40You did it!
20:41Yay, Grand Ranger!
20:42You did it!
20:54Yay, Grand Ranger!
20:55You did it!
20:55Huh?
20:56What do you say?
20:57You ready to take over for the Range Rider?
21:00Well, I've been thinking about it, sir.
21:02And I want to be just like him.
21:04Kinda.
21:05But I don't want to replace him.
21:07He's my hero.
21:08And I want him to stay that way forever.
21:11So I brought this stuff back.
21:16Gosh!
21:16His boots must have shrunk.
21:18Sounds like maybe you've grown into him a bit, son.
21:21Hmm.
21:22I sure wish the Range Rider would still be around where I can see him, though.
21:26Son, if you like the Range Rider that much,
21:29you can see him whenever you need him.
21:32Right up here.
21:33Really?
21:34Sure, shootin'.
21:35Give it a try.
21:43Hey!
21:44Gosh!
21:45Thanks, mister!
21:46How do you know so much, anyway?
