646f9e108c Don Diego de la Vega opposes the corrupt tyrants of Spanish Californiathe masked swordsman, Zorro. The only son of Don Alejandro returns to 1820s California to fight the corrupt local military. He plays the foppish dandy by day and the masked swordsman Zorro who slashes &quot;Z&quot;s everywhere by night. His horses (black and white) are Tornado and Phantom. This show was a real treat, both on ABC from 1957 to 1959, and on the Disney Channel, with its blend of adventure and comedy. Excellent cast!<br/><br/>I am sorry that the series did not film further episodes, because it was superb. I saw ita kid in syndication in 1965-66, and then again in 2002 on the Disney Channel.<br/><br/>&quot;Zorro&quot; had to have been the &quot;Batman&quot; of the late 1950s. Indeed, in the comic version of &quot;Batman&quot; it is Zorro whom Bruce Wayne considers his role model. After living in Texas and the Southwest, I can appreciate the series even more. I just wish Disney would bring it back, and that someone would revive the series. It was so interesting! Considering my age, I watched the series quite late. Having heard a lot about these series from my older sisters and friends, I decided to watch them all. I bought the whole series on DVD (total of 78 X 30 min and 4 X 60 min) in summer 2006 and watched the whole 83 hours in around a month.<br/><br/>Having watched 3 other Zorro versions, I do agree that Guy Williams version is the best along with the other two pivotal characters of Bernardo and Sgt Garcia being unique. Considering the fact that I am in 2006 and still enjoining these series, I tried to imagine how enjoyable these series were for the peoples of 50&#39;s!!!
