Tales of the Texas Rangers was on radio, early Sunday evenings sponsored by Wheaties. Joel McCrea was Ranger Jase Pearson, a generic Ranger who worked on cases from different time lines. The TV show that everyone recalls on Saturday mornings starred Willard Parker and Harry Lauter. This show aimed at a juvenile audience whereas the radio show, using the Dragnet narrative approach, dealt with real cases from TR files, and was for adults.
