(ABC Primetime, 1957 - 1959) [This Disney series was loosely based upon the novels of Johnston McCulley in the early 1900s, and several movies between 1920s - 1940s, as well as Republic Studios B-Picture Serials in the 1930s; The legend has a lot in common with both "The Lone Ranger" and "Superman"...; An attempt to revive the Zorro series by Disney, called "Zorro And Son" was made in 1983 starring Henry Darrow. For its Opening and Closing Theme, George Duning dusted off a melody he had composed in 1957 for the original series.]
