Cisco Kid

[NickiNickification]

Duncan Renaldo appeared at a shopping center in Indianapolis when I was a kid. My mom and Grandma took me to see him. I got a kiss on the cheek and I remember that my Grandma was as excited or more excited than me about it.

@NickiNickification What year was that? "The Cisco Kid" was one of the first TV shows I watched.

[delminoadv]

I used to watch in the afternoon! Good and nostalgic childhood days ....

[LkOutMtnMan]

One of my favorite series when I was a kid, Saturday was cartoons and westerns!

[moviemayhem59]

This is great! I do think this particular episode actually comes from the final season, not the first. Thanks for posting this in any case.

[boomerang905]

OMG, I feel like a little girl again watching this. Good time television! It really does seem like yesterday.  How time flies. : )

[tigerboy2011]

Eu era um menino aqui no Australie e eu sempre via Cisco Kid todo o tempo, excelente série de TV.

[ggnzlz2008]

En mi época (1957) en Buenos Aires la transmitían los viernes a las 19hs

Sublime

[hink32]

That kid in the no matches add has really bad "stinky eye" @3.39

[laurel614]

Tha kid with the lighter looks so impressed.. :)They replayed this in australia for a few years as well.

When I go to the grocery store, I always buy Weber's bread.

[wallofvideo]

was it the pancho character who coined the phrase "i theeeenk"? i know it's a stereotype but i'm just wondering where it originated.

[wallofvideo]

listen to the music for weber's bread @1:44-1:46, then listen to the music @3:12-3:14. it's like a subliminal reminder to buy weber's bread.

[BugSmashertheExalted]

The girl looks so angry at 3:36.

[ferociousgumby]

Never realized how deep their relationship was.

[slipnkot1212]

SUBLIME brought me here :)

[TheQman113]

the first two minetes is almost all about welbers bread

[ThomasDeLello]

I* never heard of Weber's Bread. It must have been only available on the west coast in the 1950's. I was in N.Y. and watched the Cisco Kid on black and white TV.

[navadeh123]

damn they advertised that bread like crazy

[SakuraBear77]

@battenwood I'll ask my grandpa, he might know. 

[SakuraBear77]

Leo Carillo is my great-great uncle on my grandpa's side!!!

[jimnolt1946]

@SakuraBear77 I have great admiration for Carrillo. According to imdb, he was born in 1881. That's makes him 69 when he began the TV series with Duncan Renaldo. They'd surely not cast a 69-year-old in that role today! I've seen him in several other roles... one that comes to mind right now is Universal's "Horror Island" from 1940.

[battenwood]

@jimnolt1946 69? Why not? Some of us in our 60's feel like we can ride a horse and play western roles with little trouble---especially with the use of a body double! Look at Eastwood. He is 80 and has played action roles in recent years. Carrillo was from an old Californio clan and probably knew tons of Old West stories to base shows on.

[jimnolt1946]

@battenwood No reason at all why not. My brother is 77 and still rides almost everyday. My thoughts as I wrote that were that not many television productions today would hire someone our age and older. And that's too bad.

[battenwood]

@SakuraBear77 Does your family have any knowledge about Duncan Renaldo, i.e. who he really was or where he really came from? He was supposedly from Spain, Romania, Hungary, and who knows where else and arrived in the US as an orphan stowaway.

I never knew what to believe ...it was a big mystery to some of us TV viewers. My dad was a huge fan. I was just glad to have something for kids to watch in color in those days ("color TV" was mainly B&W until about 1966)

[MegaEvalee]

@SakuraBear77 whats your grandpas name? because leo is my grandfathers brother,and i think there was 7 kids all togather,i think leo was the 4th or 5th child from their parents.not sure,have to ask my mom,which leo is her uncle. dont know much about leo,they [the family,and leo]didnt talk ,after my granfather quit vaulville and became a batist christian.. instead of the religion the family wanted him to be,which i think is [was]cathlic.

[Postie218]

@SakuraBear77 I didn't grow up in California, but I went to college in Fullerton and learned a bit about Leo Carillo and the Carillo family. There's a family history anyone would be proud of.

[FeatherCl]

loved it . thanks !

[kenanscott24]

At 12 cents a loaf, it's a steal!

[ji2140]

WOW HOW COOL IS THIS BABY BOOMERS

[oldtilter]

What was bread then 12 cents a loaf?..how times have changed

[jimnolt1946]

fstemp, that's interesting. Was your grandmother employed by ZIV studios? Did she make costumes for any other shows?

[fstemp]

My great Grandmother was his costume seamstress. I remember watching these as a kid. Great memory!

[MrSluggo666]

Great post i just barely remember the re runs, minus the webers' bread!

[BARRIEMOREBARLOW]

Did that kid steal a loaf of bread?

[MrSquishles]

@BARRIEMOREBARLOW

it was around the time of the great depression XD

[jityr2]

@MrSquishles Wrong. At the end it said copyright 1955.

[MissElissaP]

@BARRIEMOREBARLOW ---> times were hard

[suspekt29]

@BARRIEMOREBARLOW LMAO

[rus2579]
