The Cisco Kid
The Cisco Kid is an American Western television series that aired from 1950 to 1956, starring Duncan Renaldo as the Cisco Kid and Leo Carrillo as his sidekick Pancho. Based on the O. Henry character, the series follows Cisco and Pancho as they ride through the American Southwest righting wrongs and helping those in need. The Cisco Kid was one of the first television series to feature a Hispanic hero, and Renaldo's portrayal, while reflecting the sensibilities of its time, presented the character as a charming, honorable, and intelligent figure. The series was filmed in color at a time when most television was still black and white, making it visually distinctive. Over 150 episodes were produced, and the series was widely syndicated for decades. Many episodes are in the public domain.
