Description:
Here's adventure! Here's romance! O. Henry's "Famous Robin Hood of the Old West" is back! The Cisco Kid stars Duncan Renaldo as Cisco and Leo Carillo as his faithful sidekick and comic foil, Pancho. One of the first television programs to be filmed in color, this classic Western ran from 1950-1956.
Set in 1890's New Mexico, Cisco and Pancho fight corruption and seek justice for the victims of bandits, con men and cattle rustlers. With a combination of humor and compassion for their fellow man, Cisco and Pancho have become legendary to television viewers everywhere.
In 1980, Renaldo received a Special Lifetime Achievement Award from Nosotros, which honored him for "providing a positive Hispanic role model for Americans," and called The Cisco Kid "a perennial television favorite."
The Cisco Kid Set One features 20 half-hour episodes of the popular Western series.

I won't comment on the content, since other have already done so. Rather, I'll defend the quality of these prints, which I feel is very good, considering their age. No, these prints have not been digitally restored, and do not look like the current crop of new television shows on DVD. Considering their source, most likely 16mm prints from 57 years ago, they are in surprisingly good shape. Yes, the opening intro sequence is slightly pastel in color, and the image in the intro, titles, and "outro" ... Read More

When I was a youngster growing up in the midwest, The Cisco Kid was one of my favorite and biggest heroes ~ many actors played the part from Warner Baxter ("The Cisco Kid"-1931, "Return of the Cisco Kid"-1939), Cesar Romero ("The Cisco Kid & the Lady"-1939, "Lucky Cisco Kid"-1940, "Viva Cisco Kid"-1940), Duncan Renaldo ("The Cisco Kid in Old New Mexico"-1945, "The Cisco Kid Returns"-1945), Gilbert Roland ("The Gay Cavalier" ...

Just a quick note to defend MPI on this release. Some of the reviewers have mentioned the soft focus and the shifting colors. When I used to watch this series years ago on WGN (Sundays at 12 Noon) and later on the old Family Channel cable network...it looked exactly as it does now on this DVD.
The ownership of the series shifted over the years and I'm sure any original material has long vanished. I also remember reading somewhere that the original producer, ZIV Television, shot this on 16mm to save money.

I was very disappointed with the Cisco Kid Collection 1. I have fond memories of the old series and jumped at the chance to own it on DVD. The video quality is appallingly bad. The main title sequence is blurry. The quality of each episode varies from scene to scene, and sometimes it varies within the same scene from one camera shot to the next. For the price at which this collection is being sold, I expected the episodes to be digitally restored. This series deserves to have the same quality of restoration as the ... Read More

I am not going to be as kind as the previous poster concerning the picture quality of this set. It is downright appalling....something to possibly be expected from a bargain bin Madacy release, but not for a $40+ set!!!!
The picture is so out-of-focus, it is of a quality of a third generation VHS tape.
Compare this to Rhino's "Lone Ranger" release [which I own], and you will be even more appalled.
Avoid this set at all costs.
Thanks to Amazon, though, for giving ... Read More
