Henry's 1907 short story, "The Caballero's Way”.Īdapted from the films of the 1910s, 1920s, 1930s and 1940s and the '40s radio show of the same name, the TV series continued the adventures of Cisco and his partner Pancho. Starring Duncan Renaldo and Leo Carrillo, it was loosely based on the character of the same name in O. The Cisco Kid was a half-hour American Western that ran from 1950 to 1956. Henry's famous Robin Hood of the old west, The Cisco Kid!" If you've ever been a kid or you are a kid at heart,you will enjoy this show."Here's O. I read that this was the first or one of the first tv shows to be in color,which was a pretty big deal at the time. Things like this,for example:īottom line,the 2 main characters work together well and they are silly/funny in their own right. The ''trouble with English'' trope is played like a fiddle,I suspect it is a constant throughout the series. All along,you get the idea that the actors are having fun doing the show,and they know some of it is a bit silly. However,I found the show to be very charming,you cannot help but chuckle throughout the whole show,sometimes with the show and sometimes at the show. If you are looking for rock-solid logic and perfect continuity you will indeed be disappointed at times.Īnd yes,it is chock-full of cliches and old tropes,corny-ness and such. I am now just beginning to realize how darn many western-themed tv shows were on tv in the 50's through the 70's,this was one of a very many. The closest association I had with the show was liking the song "Cisco Kid" by WAR in the 70's.įrom what I saw just in this episode,I'd say it is a decent entertaining show.
