"Here's Romance!"
"Here's O. Henry's [[Just Like Robin Hood|famous Robin Hood of the old west]], The Cisco Kid!" }}
''[[The Cisco Kid]]'' was a half-hour [[The Wild West|American Western]] that ran from 1950 to 1956. Starring Duncan Renaldo and Leo Carrillo, it was loosely based off the character of the same name in O. Henry's 1907 short story, "The Caballero's Way”.
Adapted from the 1930s film and the 40s [[Radio Drama|radio show]] of the same name, the TV series continued the adventures of Cisco and his partner Pancho. In the series, both Cisco and Pancho are technically desperadoes who are wanted for a number of unspecified crimes and [[Walking the Earth|wander the backcountry of Northern Mexico and the old American Southwest]] to elude the law. However, they are viewed by townsfolk and honest, upstanding peace officers alike as [[Just Like Robin Hood|modern-day Robin Hoods]] because of their willingness to [[We Help the Helpless|assist the oppressed and downtrodden]] when [[Corrupt Bureaucrat|political figures]] and [[Dirty Cop|the law]] either shows itself to be too crooked or refuses to help out. In the end, Cisco and Pancho always catch the bad guy, [[Always Save the Girl]] and always save the day.
''The Cisco Kid'' is also famous for a number of television firsts. It was the first TV show to be filmed entirely in color. And, it was the very first TV show to have Hispanic actors in regular starring roles.

By the time the show ended in 1956, it was rated by ''Billboard'' magazine as the most popular filmed television series for children in the United States. As well as becoming an influence in pop culture for generations of children and adults.

* [[Oh, Cisco]]: Every episode (which was brought over from the radio series) would end with either Pancho, or Cisco, either pointing out a positive moral or cracking a corny joke about their adventure, which would prompt Pancho to say "Oh, Cisssco!", which Cisco would reply with "Oh, Paaancho!" (or vice versa)... and everyone would laugh.
