Product Description:
Martial arts star Chuck Norris made his transition to the small screen with the action-packed television drama WALKER TEXAS RANGER. Lasting for nine seasons the long-running series followed the crime-fighting adventures of tough-guy Texas Ranger Cord Walker (Norris) as he brought justice to the streets of Dallas with a well-placed karate chop to the city's more nefarious criminals. Walker's unconventional interrogation methods clashed with his computer-expert partner Jimmy Trivette (Clarence Gilyard) and the by-the-book county D.A. Alex Cahill (Sheree Wilson) who also functioned as Walker's love interest. This collection presents all 26 episodes of the series' debut season.System Requirements:Running Time 1458 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: NR UPC: 097368809345 Manufacturer No: 880934

An unofficial Chuck Norris fact: With apologies to Al Gore, global warming does not cause hurricanes. They are caused by the wind generated by Chuck Norris' flurry of roundhouse kicks to the head. Which is why this seven-disc set will blow you away. After Norris's movie career stalled, Walker: Texas Ranger revived his career and catapulted him to international icon status of Hasselhoff proportions. He has since been transformed into an affectionate punchline for the likes of Conan O'Brien and the purveyors of the Official Chuck Norris facts website ("Those aren't credits that roll after Walker: Texas Ranger. It is actually a list of fatalities that occurred during the making of the episode."). Co-created by future Oscar-winner Paul Haggis (Crash), Walker: Texas Ranger is a tailor-made vehicle for Norris, whose eponymous character dispenses somewhat suspect justice. "You screwed up," one particularly nasty miscreant tells Walker. "You forgot to read us our rights. Walker obliges, but not before kicking him into submission, "You have the right to remain silent." Walker's methods may perturb Asst. D.A. Alex Cahill (Sheree J. Wilson), but they sure come in handy when she is menaced, Cape Fear-style, by the recently freed corrupt sheriff she sent to jail ("Borderline") or kidnapped by a cult leader ("In the Name of God").
There are three crucial elements for a great Walker episode: A particularly vile villain (drug dealers, rapists, baby-stealing politicians), coolly delivered Chuck-isms ("When I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you," reprised from the great Code of Silence), and, to quote Jimmy Trivette (Clarence Gilyard), Walker's new, more by-the-book partner, the "squinty-eyed make-my-day stuff" that Walker punishingly dispenses near the 40-minute mark of nearly every episode. When you've got Chuck Norris, you don't need A-list guest stars, but Walker's first season does feature some familiar faces, including the future Spider-Man Tobey Maguire ("The Prodigal Son"), Stuart Whitman ("The Reunion"), and a post-Wonder Years Danica "Winnie" McKellar ("Stolen Lullaby"). Norris may not be Oscar or Emmy material, but watching Walker unfailingly lay out the bad guys and making the guilty pay is the essence of comfort television. As Trivette says, "I hate to admit; the man is good." In short: don't mess with Texas! --Donald Liebenson

I was surprised at the language and story lines in the first season. Not what I expected and not what I wanted my 10 year old to watch. However that being said the few shows I watched were solid Chuck Norris. I only rated it low to bring attention to the PG rating not displayed in the ad.

Walker is totally awesome. I love this show and had to have these. They have some of my favorite shows on them.

In the early 90's, the ever popular martial arts master and action movie star Chuck Norris was not getting many offers for movies. An idea sparked in someone's mind, and Norris was offered the title role for a show called "Walker Texas Ranger", he accepted it, and an entirely new legend was born. This show is most likely what makes Norris best known to today's modern audience. I do not see this show as silly, or stupid, or so dumb that it's good, or anything like that. I sincerely, genuinely, and ... Read More

It's fashionable these days, I suppose, to scoff at a television show like Walker - Texas Ranger because it promoted traditional values.
I suppose that following the exploits of Paris Hilton or Britney Spears is far more "hip".
But Walker - Texas Ranger had a very successful 9 year run, despite the fact that the critics universally panned it for its one dimensional characters (the "good guys" really were good guys and they always triumphed in the end), the network buried ... Read More
