Synopsis

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.

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
tedphx As a kid, I watched every half hour western there was, but I only caught the tail end of The Cisco Kid's run. Nevertheless, I found it more memorable than even The Lone Ranger or Roy Rogers, and I can't tell you how much I loved those two shows.I've only recently been reintroduced to Cisco and Pancho thanks to a local over-the-air station, and while the gunfights and fight scenes are often preposterous, I do believe that the show's introduction describes what gives it it's distinct charm... "Here's adventure, here's romance!" And that has nothing to do with women whose hearts were won by Cisco and Pancho. In fact, there was scarcely any of that. Instead the romance is about Spanish-Mexican culture and the pageantry of the Old West. I've come to believe this show was my first introduction to the pervasive Mexican influence that provides much of the west's lure and mystique to this day.And there was one thing in particular that so grabbed my attention as a kid that I've used it again and again. It's Pancho's many variations of, "Hey Cisco, let's went." I've said it to friends, girlfriends and even to my wife, and I have no idea if they understood the reference at first, but it always tickled me to remember and pay homage to Leo Carillo and this wonderful show.
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!
willslaw ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Ooooh,Ceeeesco -- Oooh, Paancho. One of the great classic TV westerns of the 50's. The Cisco Kid is the dapper and oh so smooth do-gooder, loved by the ladies, obeyed by his brilliant steed Diablo and the bane of the bad guys. His trusty sidekick Pancho on the other hand, riding Loco, can never quite get it together, except to bop some bungling bad guy on the bean. Nobody gets killed. The miscreants go to jail and the stars ride off into the sunset, smiling. Le's went Ceesco!
