Show Summary

  • Ended
Cordell Walker is a contemporary Texas Ranger working out of the Dallas office who believed in dealing with criminals the old-fashioned way--by beating them up. Despite the rules that governed the way law-enforcement officers were supposed to act. Walker's approach closely resembled the "eye for an eye" school of crime fighting.''''His partner is young Jimmy Trivette, who had grown up in the slums of Baltimore and used football as his ticket to a college education and a career with the Dallas Cowboys until he busted his shoulder. Despite Jimmy's belief in computers and scientific criminology, working with Walker, always seemed to leave him bruised and sore--when Walker was trying to get information or take people into custody it was more than likely there would be a fistfight or karate kicks. County Assistant D.A. Alex Cahill, his sometimes girlfriend, frowned on Walker's methods, even if they did get results.''''When not on duty Walker and the others hung out at C.D.'s, the saloon/restaurant owned by his buddy C.D. Parker, a former Ranger forced into early retirement after taking a bullet in the knee, who still provided help and advice on cases. Uncle Ray was the wise old Native American who had raised Walker. He died at the end of the 3rd season.''''Star Chuck Norris, former karate champion and movie star, played Walker in the deadpan unemotional style he used in most of his feature films. Nothing ever seemed to excite him, and the violence on the show had a cartoon quality about it. There was a surrealistic efficiency about Walker--he almost never broke sweat, got hurt, or wasted a blow--using violence because it was necessary but never glorying on it. This is Norris' first time in a TV series.moreless

    When I was really young, I used to watch this show whenever I got the chance. I wasn't supposed to, but I snuck my chances. As I got older, I was able to watch the show without having to be in trouble for it. I liked the fighting scenes and the storylines in almost every episode. It seemed that Texas is a dangerous place to live. My favorite characters had to be Walker and his partner. They made a great team and worked well together. I alo enjoyed the scenes where the villains got their teeth kicked in. Good stuff. Thank you.moreless

    Fun entertainment...nothing more, nothing less.
    Episodes were usually a bit over the top but by the same token they were fun to watch and at least sent a good message especially to kids that watched.
    I emphasized many times that there are always choices and that one can hopefully learn from the bad ones, and learn to make good ones.
    The cast seemed to really like one another and had a good time doing the series.
    If you are looking for deep intellectual fare, this show would not be for you, but if you want to have a good time and feel good after the show is over, this one IS for you!moreless

    This show replaced MacGyver in the past for me and set Chuck Norris up for greatness as a television actor. This show had karate, police, crime solving and drama all in one. When it ended it was a sad day for the Texas rangers and a sad day for the fans of the show. It was entertaining every week to see Chuck Norris fight crime and save lives. The show had bits of comedy, great one liners and awesome fight scenes for any Chuck Norris fan. It was definitely a classic show for Chuck Norris and I will always remember him as Walker Texas Ranger.moreless

    Well, well, well. Here's a show which has cliche written all over it! How so? Well, first if all...Practically every episode of this show has something to do with the tough and buff 'good guys' beating up the tough and buff 'bad guys' and usually with their fists. Sure, it's got its Western Flair and even a little Native American flair, but not nearly enough. When you consider that this show was able to last for nine whole seasons, I have to wonder how the producers and writers of this show managed to keep it fresh and stop it from becoming as old as it did. Well, I think I've said quite enough about this show. So let's just let this review end already!moreless
