OT
Did you know that Pancho, on the Cisco Kid, was during the 6 years the show was filmed, between 70 and 75 years old?
He didn't look it, did he.
Leo Carrillo State Park was named after him because he was an environmentalist.
"Oh, Cisco"
Inclusive? I hope so!
I believe that Cisco Kid was the first TV show I ever saw.
That was maybe 1952 or 53 and there was one person on our block who had a TV, so all of us kids went over.
First time I saw it, I could not discern the picture...all I saw were unrecognizable black and white splotches. It took my brain several minutes to interpret what it saw.
I think we went to the Rentzes to watch tv but I don't remember it. My older brother talked about it.
So the picture was bad, but you figured it out.

The picture was absolutely NOT bad
it was quite clear...it's just that I had never watched TV before and my mind did not know how to process the information.
BTW: There was only *one* station
Interesting to learn this. I recall the series seeing it when I was a kid.
My father bought our first TV in 1952 and it had at least a 21" screen, if not a 26" screen (things look bigger when yer only 4 yrs old). ;)
