The seventy-fourth TV show: #39 Zorro

While older adventure shows like this can be good fun - especially as they appeal to the young boy in me - in the end their story telling and world is often limited enough that they struggle to hold our interest. There's some interesting struggles here set in Spanish California, but they do tend to lead up to the obligatory fight scene as well as some cleverness as everyone runs around trying to see who Zorro is and needing his help while not wanting to ask for it. There's something satisfying about that, but on the whole it didn't appeal to us to really make it feel that fun.
