They made some bad decisions (like switching to a white horse) and some bad episodes (like the ultimative chrismas-episode) but overall it never jumped. And there was never and will never be a better Zorro.

I was surprised this show lasted only two seasons.

It never jumped!

WOW! what a movie this realy sparks my intrest. (so do men) (AND I'M ONE) but realy it was great! Thank for such a great show!!! ^^

What a lovely article i was just plain excited. I still got goose bumps. i mean realy round of aplause for all..! <(@-@)> that's a true smiley for yall. Remember I LOVE YOU!!!

It jumped the summer of 1962. He slashed too many people and objects. I watched him, I was 7 years old. I though, "hey, I can beat Zorro," So I went out back with a Croquet Stick and beat the hell out of a cherry tree. I took one last whack and the tree limb came back, and cut my face open seven stitches. Thought I lost my eye!

I dunno but it sounbds like that cherry tree beat the hell outta you.

There will never be another Zorro to equal Disney's Zorro, and there've been lots of Zorros. I've seen 'em all, I've enjoyed most of them. But Disney alone made the perfect Zorro series. It still holds together today, over 40 years later, and will undoubtedly be holding together 40 years from now. Guy Williams will always be the REAL Zorro as far as I'm concerned. The show was my first real exposure to Spanish-American culture, to snippits of the Spanish language, to a fine musical soundtrack that has curiously never been produced as a CD. It had a dynamic instrumental score and was sprinkled with charming, memorable songs throughout the series. And never did a Zorro have such a wonderful supporting cast of delightful character actors. I remember as a little girl that all of the kids adored Sgt.Garcia, who reminded everyone of a big, cuddly teddy bear. But Garcia wasn't alone. His pal, Corporal Reyes, turned the pair into a sort of Mexican Laurel & Hardy team, and I loved them. And I loved Bernardo, Zorro's pixie-faced sidekick whose pretense at deafness and stupidity were remarkable, and a real mute might take lessons from his brilliant miming set at a time in history when there was no sign-language for the deaf or mute. Then came the color episodes later on, on the Sunday night Walt Disney Presents, and I wanted to live in that beautiful old hacienda. I'm and adult now, and I've seen lots of Zorro's since then, and I can still remember seeing one of the old Zorro serials on Saturday morning TV at the crack of dawn, but there have been none that came close to this. Viva El Zorro, and may he and Tornado ride forever.

My mother would tape this show for us when we were kids; now I wish there was something worth taping for my kids. Zorro had a great balance between characters and it had a real plot. Most shows now are just violence or stupidity in a half-hour time slot. Zorro is a fine example of success through good plot and good acting.

Never jumped -- simply one of the most perfect shows ever to appear on television. The cast was amazing, from Guy Williams as Zorro to Henry Calvin as Garcia, Gene Sheldon as Bernardo, George J. Lewis as Don Alejandro, and Don Diamond as Corporal Reyes. The action scenes were as impressive as you will ever see on a TV series, and the budget for the series (thanks to Disney) was obviously so much higher than other series of its day. Perhaps one of the greatest things about the show was its writing, containing plots that carried out in episodic arcs ranging from standalone episodes to 4- or even 13- and 26-episode story arcs in its first season. Talk about ahead of its time. The show grew somewhat weaker in its second season when it went from the thrilling 13-episode story format to much shorter stories, which made the stories less dangerous and exciting. For example, the first season featured an organized plot to take over all of California. The second season featured a plot in which Zorro must stop a young girl (Annette Funicello) from being sent back to Spain. Another had him breaking a mountain man out of prison and protecting him from Sergeant Garcia. Point taken? But while the stories themselves decreased in excitement the writing, acting, and action never decreased. The second season also provided such memorable moments as the Monterey story arc, the "Rebatos" attempt to assassinate the governor, and a fantastic one-part standalone episode entitled "An Affair of Honor." So while the show had its ups and downs, it never even came close to jumping the shark. One of the greatest.

This is one of the best western show ever. There was always action, comedy, and suspense, even though you always knew who would come out on top. The shows usually were semi-continued, so it gave a sense of expectation for the next episode. I grew up watching on Disney Channel before they became "Nick at Disney", and always thought it would have been great to watch the series in its correct sequence as it originally appeared. Guy Williams is the definitive Zorro, Tyrone Power second, and others a long way back.

Oh, absolutely Guy Williams was the best TV Zorro, (the dashing, but wooden Duncan Regher notwithstanding but for my money Zorro is Tyrone Power! End of sentence!

Zorro hit its climax when he got his first onscreen kiss with a love interest in the second season. The show jumped the shark after she left and Don Diego went on acting as if nothing had ever happened and kept getting more and more silly 30 minute plots in which Bernardo was usually highly involved. Zorro would never kiss again on that show.

Guy Williams still gets my wife excited. Bernardo is television's proto-dork. All of California couldn't recognize pseudo-gay Don Diego because of that mask? Speaking of that, the episode in which Zorro is unmasked by a bad guy still brings goose pimples 45 years later. And that hacienda with its secret panels and a horse-exit cave! Forget Monday Night Football. "Zorro" is the ultimate show for guys!

The show jumped the shark when Annette from the Mickey Mouse guest starred. Personally, I always thought she was a little to happy to be on tv. Then, when you put her on a show with some action, and some comedy, a really happy person doesn't really belong. I have personally seen all of the episodes many times, and the few with her I usually just turn off, and watch something else.

It jumped the summer of 1962. He slashed too many people and objects. I watched him, I was 7 years old. I though, "hey, I can beat Zorro," So I went out back with a Croquet Stick and beat the hell out of a cherry tree. I took one last whack and the tree limb came back, and cut my face open seven stitches. Thought I lost my eye! You all think the Three Stooges are bad examples. I didn't try any of their tricks thank God. So Zorro is the MAN! I love any reruns I can find. I wish they would bring it back, and use Val Kilmer as Zorro, Like, that would be cool. Will Sasso could be his partner.
