It's been a while since we actually did anything to mark Cinco de Mayo, so it's time to change that.
The Tijuana Toads debuted with a self-titled short, alternately known as "Tall in The Grass", when the characters were repackaged as the Texas Toads for television seven years later.
The plot: Toro (Don Diamond, ex-F-Troop, Zorro) and Pancho (Tom Holland, not to be confused with the current Spider-Man actor) run afoul of a visiting Texas grasshopper (John Byner impersonating John Wayne). The grasshopper, for whatever reason, was colored red instead of a traditional green or brown.
Don Diamond played a different El Toro, as the sidekick to the title hero of The Adventures of Kit Carson in the 50's.
Rating: B.
