Walker Texas Ranger is soooooo past its prime- lousy acting, dubious plots, gratuitous violence- it belongs on late night, if anything at all, not in morning "prime time" day after day after day. Move on, please USA Network!

If you think the violence is bad in Walker, you should teach in a public high school.....

Unlike you, most people that I talk with love Walker Texas Ranger despite the fact that it has been several years since it was a current show. The great thing is that there are so many children who love this show and consider Walker Texas Ranger to be a hero. That is something that is desperately needed for children is a good role model. My son dresses up and plays Walker Texas Ranger almost daily. The show is clean even though it does contain violence, it displays good winning out over evil. Late night would not be the appropriate time since this is a show that young children and teenagers desire to watch. There really is not enough appropriate role models for kids today as it is. So consider yourself in the minority.

A "good" role model? This show is full of sexism, racism, and about a dozen -isms that haven't even got names yet. Their depictions of Chinese, Hispanics, Native Americans, and women are all disgusting and offensive. I'm surprised it's still on TV at all. All the women are flimsy delicate little things that need rescuing every other second (unless they're "bad guys", then they have a cat fight with a "good girl", who inevitably wins), every other episode has a scene in a strip club, and forgive me if I'm wrong, but Walker should have been imprisoned -years- ago. If any real law enforcement official did any of the stints on that show, he would have lost his badge from day one. Police brutality, unnecessary force, not to mention flat-out -murder-. The police are supposed to -catch- the bad guys, not kill them all with a single bullet shot and a round-house kick. This show is probably worse than the eighties "Ninja Turtles" movies. Mostly because it presents itself as "real".

I'm convinced the only reason this show existed in the first place, bad writing, stereotypes, and all, is to inflate Chuck Norris's already overinflated ego. Real role models for kids aren't that hard to come by. Start with history. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, Susan B. Anthony, and many many others are worth teaching your kids about. But most of all...your kid should see -you- as a role model. Just food for thought. I'm sorry if I offend, but the show in question is far more offensive.

This just makes me sick. Walker was a great show. With tons of great messages. It would be in the world best interest to bring back walker with a new breed of writers. As cheessy as the show may have seemed it was great. Relected alot of messages that need to get out there. Every one should want to bring back walker texas ranger. LONG LIVE CHUCK NORRIS!!!!!!!

Indeed. He doesn't mince "can't we all get along", with the reality of the real world, I love it.
For a guy turning 68 next month he looks great.

Hi Bubba here, I think Walker is a great show. It has a lot of good messages in it, don't know what show you others are watching.

Indeed, Chuck has always said he tries to teach values through his movies and tv show.
ShawnSpencer
Yeah, it's a good show with good values. Chuck himself, also has good values. I haven't seen him in anything really, that was bad. Maybe not a good movie, but not anything that I wouldn't want my mom to see me watching. (LOL) No offense.
