Definitely a ZIV show from the very early 50's. Unfortunately there aren't any semi-pristine prints. Cisco was one ,if not the first TV shows shot in colour. However this was not because of any great foresight by the producers. According to Troy Melton who worked on the series they found they were able to obtain colour film stock cheaper than 35mm. The advantage was that it also let in more light which enabled them to shoot quicker.The Cisco's were shot in two days often utilising the same cast over 3 episodes in different roles, so speed was the main factor. They had no colour co-ordinater & no colour correction was done at the time of processing as they assumed the series would only be seen in black & white. This is why when watched today you have so many mismatched & washy colours.

I don't know if any of you have heard about what I do when watching a low-quality video so I'll mention it. Whenever I realize the picture quality is low is of low quality I'll switch to my TV's Small Screen Mode, which joking call the "Mill Creek Mode" (If you've bought any of their "Shovelware" Sets and watch those programs you know what I'm talking about). I reduce the size of the screen, which reduces the quality of the pixels, and watch away.
