History YMMV / Zorro1957

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoment: In "The Sergeant Regrets", Zorro arrives just as Hernandez dies. Upon learning what happened from a shaken Garcia, Zorro (who, as Diego, had yelled earlier at Garcia for failing to stopped the planned ambush that resulted in Don Alfredo nearly being tortured) merely tells him "You're a good man, Sergeant" before running off. In that moment, you knew why Diego cared for Garcia despite all of his flaws.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: While it's clear Sergeant García isn't the sharpest sword in the armory, many fans believe he [[ObfuscatingStupidity deliberately exaggerates his own incompetence,]] especially when following the orders of one of Los Angeles's many corrupt leaders. This is supported by the fact that he seems to run the garrison well enough when he doesn't have a CorruptBureaucrat breathing down his neck, and that he manages to land quite a few zingers against his superiors - not all of them caught on by them.
** A Notable example was his "helpful" mention of Montestario being under a lot of stress only helps to further undermine his credibility to an already suspicious Viceroy, aiding in his removal from command - was Garcia trying to be helpful to his commander and it backfired, or did he see an opening to remove a vicious petty tyrant and took it?

* HilariousInHindsight: This show's take on Sergeant García is essentially a Hispanic version of [[{{Series/HogansHeroes}} Sergeant Hans Schultz]].

* DracoInLeatherPants: Captain Monastario is seemingly regarded this way by a not insiginficant proportion of the fanbase.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Ask anyone about who they remember the most about the series (outside Zorro himself, obviously), chances are high it'll be Sergeant García. He practically stole the show with his BigFun and ButtMonkey antics.

** Ditto with France. Tellingly, it was rerun on France 3 (the third of the main national channels) until ''2019'' -- there were practically no TV series from TheSixties, TheSeventies, TheEighties and TheNineties left on that channel meanwhile. Due to popular demand, France 4 picked it up in 2020.

* WhatAnIdiot:
** The military arranged a clever way to deliver the taxes to Monterrey without risk. The blacksmith forged a giant padlock, whose sole key was delivered first to the governor. So, even if thieves stole them, they wouldn't be able to open the case. They called all the people to watch the ceremony: the taxes will be safe at the moment when García closes the padlock, [[WhatAnIdiot doing this!]] (Yes, you understood it correctly, he closed the padlock alone, as a demonstration, without securing the case with it... and the only key is one state away.)
** Alejandro has one moment when he reassures Nacho's wife and daughter at the jail that the dons are going to storm the jail to fight for their release... not taking care to ensure none of Monastario's spies are overhearing anything! No wonder he is wounded during the ambush.

** The 1957-59 series is ''massively'' popular in Argentina, to the point that Creator/GuyWilliams traveled several times to the country and ultimately ended up living there until his death in 1989, and when the network that aired reruns of the series in syndication for years in the country announced that it would stop airing it in 2019, there was actually a pretty big revolt by fans asking to not take it off the air.
