mastro726-1 Just acquired a DVD set of 26 first season episodes, One of which stars Phyllis Coates of Superman fame. Sorry to realize this was considered a "kids" show because every episode had at least one person good or bad being shot dead, sometimes in the back. No wonder our country is so screwed up.

FightingWesterner My first memories of watching this was when I was about about five years old. It used to come on late at night (eleven o'clock was late back then) and I didn't so much pay attention to the plots as soak up the atmosphere, starting with the shows incredible beginning credits.First things I'd see through the washed out color and vertical scratches were the sun baked desert and the yucca trees, then the Cisco Kid and Pancho would ride across the screen as the rousing theme song played."Here's adventure...", the narrator would shout, "Here's Romance, Here's O. Henry's famous Robin Hood of the old west...The Cisco Kid!"The Cisco Kid seemed at the time, like it was made a hundred years ago. It was barely thirty. I'd assumed that everyone involved were long passed though at the time Cisco had only been dead a few years.Looking back, it's hard to imagine that the "Kid" was middle aged when he made this and Pancho was in his seventies!This was the best "kiddie" western series of the fifties.

headhunter46 I just found a 3-disc set of The Cisco Kid that was produced by Mill Creek Entertainment and I am loving it.Some young folks today might think it a bit corny, but Duncan Renaldo is such a dashing, debonair hero you can't help but like him. He rounds up the bad guys but never abuses them. He has too much respect to do that. He is brave and dedicated to justice. An excellent role model. This really is good family entertainment.Pancho played by Leo Carillo is a funny, likable side kick. The show just wouldn't be the same without him.This really deserves a look by anyone who wants some relief from the gore of present day hollyweird offerings.I think I only paid $10 for my set and I wouldn't sell it now for $50! That's how much I like it.If you can't find it in stores, I now see it available at Netflix. Get it while you can.

wes mccue Here's "O. Henry's famous Robin Hood of the Old West!" Duncan Renaldo, The Cisco Kid of TV was a much more stand-up, stalwart hero than the short story character. Righting wrongs and doing good with his pal, Pancho Miguel Fernando Gonzalez de Conejo(Leo Carillo), Cisco was a model of right for a generation of wee cowpokes. Great low-budget nostalgic, formulaic kiddie western fun! And it's all in color, indicative of the foresight of the production company when TV was in it's infancy and a color set couldn't be had as yet!MPI Video has compiled four DVD collections of 20 episodes each. That's just over half of the 156 episodes! Where are the rest, I wanna know?!? The color and quality are superb given the age of these shows, with great menus and all the stirring theme music and narration adding to the action and comic fun. Highly recommended!
