  • The Cisco Kid (1950-1956)

    The Cisco Kid is a half-hour American Western television series starring Duncan Renaldo in the title role,
    The Cisco Kid, and Leo Carrillo as the jovial sidekick, Pancho.
    Cisco and Pancho were technically desperados, wanted for unspecified crimes,
    but instead viewed by the poor as Robin Hood figures who assisted the downtrodden
    when law enforcement officers proved corrupt or unwilling to help.
    It was also the first television series to be filmed in color, although few viewers saw it in color until the 1960s.


    Like many kids, The Cisco Kid was a great favourite.
    It was different from the usual, TV westerns as it was more comical.
    Although it had the usual, good against evil storyline,
    it was all done in a lightweight, half English, half Spanish comedy!
    Cesar Romero, was the original Cisco,
    but it took Duncan Renaldo, to make the part is own.
    Renaldo ironically appeared in a Duke movie!!!
    He was in
    The Fighting Seabees (1944) .... Construction worker at party

    Trivia
    * First television series to be shot in color
    * Diablo was The Cisco Kid's horse. Loco was Pancho's horse.
    * In the 1953 season star Duncan Renaldo was injured in a rock fall and hospitalized, resulting in his missing nine episodes. To cover for Renaldo's absence on the show, the Cisco Kid was shown wearing masks, disguised as a ghost and in other situations where a double could be used for him and footage of him that had been previously shot but not used was also used. He recorded his lines from his hospital bed.
