a5c7b9f00b Walker, a Texas ranger, believes in dealing with the bad guys the old fashioned way, by fighting them. He also works on instincts. Trivette is his partner. He was a former player for the Dallas Cowboys football team. Trivette uses the modern approach to crime solving, such as computers and cellular phones. C.D Parker owns a bar and grill which specializes in Western cuisine, and Country-Western themes. He gives Walker advice on some cases. Alex Cahill is the assistant district attorney. Walker, a martial artist, and his partner Trivette are Texas Rangers. They make it their business to battle crime in Dallas and all around the State of Texas. When you ask people what are some of the things Chuck Norris is known for, you will probably get one of the following answers:<br/><br/>1. His action movies 2. His karate tournament career 3. His tall tale facts 4. Walker Texas Ranger<br/><br/>Walker was a TV show that ran from 1993 to 2001. The story was about Cordell Walker a Texas Ranger who fights the bad guys with his martial arts skills. This show would feature some top name actor and actresses but however it enjoys some camp quality features. Some of the things that make this a camp show are:<br/><br/>1. Mediocre script. 2. Over the Top acting at times. 3. Quasi stormtrooper effect (When I say this I mean one man taking out a bunch of people, however in this case Cordell has his martial arts abilities and is trained)<br/><br/>The script was never anything special. Some characters seemed wooden or were stereotyped mainly this applied to the support characters of the episode. The acting was at times over the top and was quite obvious some people seemed a little too excited to get beat up. <br/><br/>Even with some of these problems this is still a good TV show and one of my favorite shows of all time. I'd never thought that I would be caught saying this: But I think "Dog the Bounty Hunter" is more entertaining than this 90's era cop drama. Walker is very melodramatic and actually set a standard of the genre of "High Octane" cop shows such as CSI, CSI: Miami, and so forth. I'm not saying all these shows are bad, but they aren't good either. I like the karate chop action that Walker dispenses on the enemies of justice, and the diverse cast of characters as much as the science tech of the CSI series. But there are some elements that I hate in a show like this. Stereotypes/Countertypes! That's right, Stereotypes/Countertypes! Unfortunately, this is a show for the moderates of Red State America who refuse to part with the old prejudices of yore especially when it comes to crime. For example, there was an episode in which a kid with psychic powers ventures into Dallas where he encounters group of kids in Goth/Punk clothing and they start harassing him. Now! This is exactly what Middle America perceives the Goth/Punk culture. I mean come on, how often do people that dress like that rob and steal from people just minding there own business. Whenever there are Blacks and Latinos in the plot it's always about gangs in some impoverished neighborhood. Okay! Not everyone who's a minority is a desperate recruit of a gang surrounded by crime, drugs, poverty. Again, this is what Middle Red State America sees of these people. Finally, Why is the Trivette the bumbling sidekick, can't you make the sidekick an equal ass-kicker? (First Verse) In the Eyes of a Ranger, the unsuspecting stranger<br/><br/>Had better know the truth of wrong from right.<br/><br/>'Cause the rule of law and order starts at the Texas border,<br/><br/>With the Lone Star of the Ranger shining bright.<br/><br/><br/><br/>(Chorus) For the Eyes of a Ranger are upon you;<br/><br/>Any wrong you do, he's gonna see.<br/><br/>When you're in Texas, look behind you,<br/><br/>And that's where the Ranger's gonna be.<br/><br/><br/><br/>(Second Verse) In the Heart of a Ranger, he'll never know the danger<br/><br/>Of desperate men with nothing left to lose.<br/><br/>The Ranger keeps on coming; so there ain't no sense in running,<br/><br/>'Cause he's bound and sure to make you pay your dues.<br/><br/>(Repeat Chorus)<br/><br/><br/><br/>(Third Verse) When a Ranger's on your trail, he won't know how to fail<br/><br/>And you can't buy him off at any price.<br/><br/>So if you decide to ramble, and with your life you'd gamble,<br/><br/>Know where you are before you roll the dice.<br/><br/>(Repeat Chorus)<br/><br/><br/><br/>If you see him coming 'round the outskirts of town,<br/><br/>Never take that Ranger for a ride.<br/><br/>(Repeat Chorus)
