The New Zorro TV Series

I finally decided which TV show I was going to write my essay about. I didn't exactly watch a lot of television when I was growing up, so it was kind of hard to decide what I would write about. My two choices were The New Zorro TV Series or The Young Riders, but which played on the Family Channel in the early 90's, and both which involved many horseback scenes. The horses is what originally drew me to the shows, but I really loved to watch both of them.

My next obstacle was if I would be able to find these shows again. And low and behold [play crescendoing chorus] The New Zorro is on YouTube! At least, parts of the show are. Enough I think that I can remember quite a bit about the show. Ah, watching the opening scene, minus the music because my laptop's sound went out sometime ago, Zorro galloping across the desert, fording a river on his trusty Toranodo, the gallant black steed that was always at his side, doing stunts and tricks on horseback . . . ::sigh:: no wonder I tried to emilate those same stunts on my horse years later! It brought me goosebumps of excitement just watching it again. I could practically hear the hoof beats and smell the horse sweat and leather! I love it!

And The Young Riders is also on YouTube! When I was a child, I always wondered where in the US this show took place, and my guess is that some of it took place in Oklahoma. I will have to investigate . . . :D (but not tonight, because I have other assignments to finish). IF that is the case, who knew that I would end up living in this great state years later! Now, if only I still had my trusty steed . . .
