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.less «

  Although I would be one of the first people to admit I was disappointed with the way the movie ended, I was happily surprised to find out that 'Trial by Fire' will be airing on Sleuth (channel 308 on dish) on April 19 at 3:00 pm and April 20 at 3:00 am. This will be the first time it has aired since the original air date of October 16, 2005. And hey, you never know, maybe they'll cave and show us the alternate ending that was rumored to have been taped (along with the tribute to Noble aka C.D. that was never aired either). Hey...a girl can wish :)less «

  It was a good series. hide « show »

  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.

  A Chuck Norris Classic. hide « show »

  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.

  Hallmark has taken off Ranger Walker...what is the deal..this was a great show and I looked forward to it everynight...please bring it back to Hallmark..peginken hide « show »

  Texas Ranger, was a great show, it was well written, and the action seem real..and the good guys always won. On this show, the actor, were good and the story line was easy to follow. And the story were along the lines of what is happening in today's world. I wish that we could get this back on the Hallmark station again..Do you think that we could be seeing Texas Ranger Walker on Hallmark again in the near future. I have all of the CD that they have out, but enjoy seeing it on the TV..I have always looked forward watch it every night.

  When You're in Texas look behind you cause that's where the Ranger's gonna be. Chuck Norris played the iconic Texas Ranger who kicked butt and never broke a sweat doing it. hide « show »

  I'm pretty sure that this show was loosely based on the movie Lone Wolf McCade, a b-movie that Norris was in as a kick butt Texas lawman who takes the law in his own hands to take down a gun running/drug cartel. It was a hokey movie, and a bit of surprise that Norris would go to the small screen to play a role similar, but the show carried strong ratings and Norris and Clarence Gilyard Jr, played well off of one another. The show got a bit preachy in its later years, but it still was able to go off on its own terms. You can catch the reruns pretty steady on either Hallmark or USA
