Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)4 episodes on each disc gets you about half of the 104 half-hour episodes of this television western series; they were originally broadcast in local syndication during the 1951-55 television seasons. And it played for years after that on Saturday mornings.
The series fell into the "Kiddie" western category with shows like: "The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok", "The Lone Ranger", "Rin Tin Tin", and "Sgt. Preston of the Yukon".
Blond, rugged, All-American action film hero ("Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo") Bill Williams played the title character. Don Diamond played Kit's ethnic sidekick El Toro. Diamond is probably best remembered as Corporal Reyes on Disney's "Zorro" series although he would also go on to play "Crazy Cat" on "F-Troop".
The series was pretty straight forward with few surprises, occasionally villain would be presented with some shades of gray which made it more multi-dimensional than most similar series. Like "The Cisco Kid", the series served as an unlikely showcase for some of Hollywood's most attractive starlets. While none of these girls seem to have made it big, no other westerns of the period managed nearly this attractive a group of distaff guest stars.
Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.
