############### The Cisco Kid ################
################ background #################
##############################################

IN 1951 THE CISCO KID SERIES DEBUTED ON THOUSANDS OF TV SREENS ACROSS
AMERICA. IT WAS THE FIRST TELEVISION SHOW TO BROADCAST IN COLOR. THE TWO
STARS OF THE SHOW WERE DUNCAN RENALDO AND LEO CARRILLO WHO HAD JUST COMPLETED
A SERIES OF FEATURE FILMS PLAYING THE SAME CHARACTORS.

THE MAN BEHIND THE TELEVISION SERIES WAS PRODUCER FREDERICK ZIV, WHO HAD
JUST FORMED HIS OWN PRODUCTIOIN COMPANY, ZIV TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS.

THE FIRST 26 EPISODES OF THE SERIES WERE FILMED IN AND AROUND PIONEERTOWN,
CALIFORNIA WHICH IS NEAR PALM SPRINGS. MOST OF THE FIRST 26 EPISODES
WERE DIRECTED BY DERWIN ABRAHAMS AND WRITTEN BY J. BENTON CHENEY.

DURING THE SECOND SEASON THERE WERE SOME CHANGES MADE. EDDIE DAVIS WHO WAS
AN ASSISTANT DIRECTOR ON THE FEATURE FILMS WAS HIRED AS A DIRECTOR,
INCLUDING PAUL LANDRES.
LATER IN THE SERIES OTHER DIRECTORS WERE HIRED; LAMBERT HILLYER,SOBEY
MARTIN,LESLIE GOODWINS JUST TO NAME A FEW. ALSO, MORE WRITERS WERE ADDED
TO GIVE MORE VARIETY TO THE SCRIPTS.

THE TWO BIGGEST CHANGES WERE THE HIRING OF TWO
TOP-NOTCH STUNTMEN WHO WERE JUST STARTING OUT IN THE BUSINESS. THEY WERE TROY
MELTON AND BILL CATCHING. TROY WAS DUNCAN RENALDO'S STUNT DOUBLE AND BILL
CATCHING WAS LEO CARRILLO'S. NOT ONLY DID THEY PERFORM ALL THE DANGEROUS ACTION
SCENE'S, BUT PLAYED SMALL BIT PARTS IN SOME OF THE EPISODES.

THE OTHER CHANGE WAS THE REPLACEMENT OF ALBERT GLASSER'S REPETITIVE
BACKGROUND SCORE FOR A NEW SURPERB ROUSING AGITATO SCORE.

OVER THE REST OF THE SERIES MORE OUTDOOR SHOOTING LOCATIONS WERE ADDED,
CORRIGANVILLE RANCH,MELODY RANCH,WALKER RANCH JUST TO NAME
A FEW. CHARACTORS ACTORS FROM FORMER B-WESTERN SERIES WERE ABUNDENT ON THE SHOW.
VETERANS LIKE MYRON HEALEY,MARSHALL REED,REED ZON MURRAY,PEGGY STEWART,TERRY
FROST,PIERCE LYDEN,BUD OSBORNE,EARLE HODGINS, REED HOWES,ELLEN HALL,CHRISTINE
LARSON,FORREST TAYLOR,TRIS COFFIN, AND THE LIST GOES ON.

THE ONE FACTOR THAT REALLY MADE THE SERIES WORK WAS THE HONEST AND SINCERE
RAPPORT BETWEEN DUNCAN RENALDO AND LEO CARRILLO AND THE EXCELLENT
TECHNICIANS WORKING BEHIND THE SCENE'S. THOUGH THE SERIES WAS SLANTED MAINLY
FOR THE YOUNGER SET. IN THE LATER YEARS IT WAS WIDELY ACCEPTED BY
ADULTS TOO. [SC]

"The Cisco Kid" series was shot with companion episodes, in most cases
using the same actors, sometimes adding another. Two shows a week were
shot using scripts that were written in advance. The finished shows were
released at different times. [SC]
