The Cisco Kid

You know, after doing my Cisco posting a little earlier just now, I couldn't help but go and do some research on The Cisco Kid. While I watched this show during the 70's, I discovered that it actually first saw the light of day as a short story created by someone named O. Henry way back in 1907.

There were also numerous movies made about the Cisco Kid begining from the silent film era, then to radio in the 40's and finally to television in the 50's. They also had a version done in the 90's with Jimmy Smits playing the lead role of Cisco and Cheech Marin playing Pancho. Strangely enough, I don't remember seeing that version.


Anyway, I'll bet you a dollar that most of you would probably go, 'The Cisco Kid? Who the freaking hell is that?' and I wouldn't blame you one bit cos only old fogeys like me would probably remember the show ... LOL! And no prize for guessing which one is Cisco and which one is Pancho.
