I was born and raised in Southern California, where this show was supposed to have taken place (long before the white man, like myself, showed up and ruined everything!). Many of my friends were of Hispanic origin, and a few of them taught me to speak Spsnish. That gave me a bit more of an appreciation for "Zorro" than much of its white audience, even though all the dialogue was in English. This Walt Disney Production is one of the best things ever to come out of the Walt Disney Studios. The writing was always at least good (and often GREAT!), the acting was superb (and if you were a fan of "F TROOP on ABC-TV in the 1960s, you may not believe this, but "Crazy Cat" of the Hekawi Indian Tribe was the same actor who played Corporal Reyes on Zorro - Don Diamond!). The Directors of this show were all terrific, as they ALL knew how to keep you in suspense when it was called for. There was always lots of action, and that "Bold Renegade Marked A "Z" With His Blade - A "Z" that Stood For ZORRO!" You could count on THAT! It was one of the first TV shows with Movie-Style Production Value. And can you believe that Zorro himself went on to get "Lost In Space"?
