Walker Texas Ranger


I feel validated that Conan O'Brien makes fun of Walker. Mom and I used to do that every week when Walker Texas Ranger was still on network TV. It seems as though every episode had a featured race. For example, one week Walker would save the day by rescuing Mexicans that some despicable gringo was smuggling into slavery. Another week, he was righting a moral injustice inflicted against Korean grocers. Or something like that. I don't quite remember the specifics, I just know that Mom and I would try to guess which demographic the next week's show would target.

    Here's a little dialogue from the show. Ah....it takes me back. What is there NOT to make fun of?

    C.D. Parker: And how are you doing, little partner?
    Lucas Simms: Fine, and it's little visitor now.
    Ranger Cordell Walker: [chuckles]
    Lucas Simms: Usdi adadamdvhidohi is how you say it in Cherokee.
    C.D. Parker: Oh, pardon my French, but I'll be damned.
    Lucas Simms: Walker told me I have AIDS

  • It seems like everytime I watch Walker, it is the one where he went undercover as a Prisoner.

  • My mom is super cool, and Conan showed that exact clip. The dialogue AND the acting are horrible.

    Grant, I've totally seen that episode too. If I remember right, Walker spends most of it with dirt carefully smeared on his face. I forget, what race was he pretending to be?

  • When the eyes of the Ranger are upon you, you better know the truth of wrong from right. Or something like that. I like how he had the ex-football player sidekick. I think it would been better if he would have took Cheech from Nash Bridges. I liked the cheesiness of that show and Brian Schlabach used to know the song by heart. Is cheesiness a word?

  • The strong arm of peer pressure strikes again. Yay for Mimi's blog!

    "Cheesiness" definitely is a word, and it belongs in the same sentence as "Brian Schlabach." What's he up to these days?

  • Were the grocers North Korean or South?

  • In the eyes of a ranger,
    The unsuspecting stranger,
    Had better know the truth of wrong from right,

    'Cause the eyes of a ranger are upon you,
    Any wrong you do, he's gonna see,

    When you're in Texas,
    Look behind you,

    'Cause that's where the rangers gonna be.
