Hard Hitting Action Series

Walker Texas Ranger which debuted on CBS in 1993, quickly became a success after a rocky first season. The show focuses on Chuck Norris who plays Cordell Walker, a ranger working for a local police agency. Along with his partners Jimmy Trivette, and Alex Cahill, they uncover new adventures each week. The show got off to a rocky start in the beginning, however quickly grew on viewers. Walker's no bull attitude, and without hesitating to punch the bad guys made Walker Texas Ranger a success. During the first few seasons the show was very violent, and that concerned a lot of families that had kids watching the show. In later seasons the violence is toned down a bit. It was around 2000 that Walker Texas Ranger grew stagnent, it became a little too preachy, and Chuck Norris decided to end it in 2001. Overall though a solid series, with lots of action, and a hero that resembles a sheriff from the wild west. With over 200 episodes, lasting for 8 years, and with nothing but great ratings on the CBS network, it still remains a solid performer in syndication, you can check it out on the USA network.
