you gotta be kidding - classic for the theme song alone

The epsiode where they battle Satan Worshippers was pretty damn classic. It's also the only episode I've seen.

The car chases are funny, they're always digitally sped-up to look more dangerous than they actually are. At least I think that's Walker, maybe it's another show that always does that.

His black sidekick was totally neutered. In one episode the sidekick was about get some play from two ladies by telling them (accurately) that he was a ranger. Walker ambled over and told the women that he was lying to them. The women left in disgust. This cock-blocking episode was treated as a big joke by the rest of the cast and the sidekick never got laid. You don't have to dig deep to get the racial subtext there.

Yeah, he does look like he hasn't gotten any in awhile. That sucks.

I like how Chuck Norris is taking on that sculpted ground-hamburger look in his later years, kinda like Charles Bronson. Anyone remember Braddock: Missing In Action 2?

don't forget the haley joel osmond episode where not only did we see haley play an aids-suffering son of a prostitute junky mum who is rescued and taken in by old mr walker, but we also got to discover that walker himself was bandoned as a child and raised by indians who taught him the wise ways of the american outback. which is why he knows karate.

there's something utterly helpless about Good People in this show, and something unstoppably malevolent about Bad People, that just amuses the shit out of me. This is best observed on the episode where the sidekick, whose name is known by exactly no-one ever, falls in love with a girl who's on the wrong side of the law. Walker is sympathetic, since love is conceived by W:TR as a force immune to reason & completely unpredictable. But the law comes first. They throw her ass in jail.

Walker's face is just so constipated. I can imagine him ranting about anything which isn't regulated. Like "EGGS ARE EGGS, THEY SHOULD NOT SHARE A PLATE WITH BACON, IF I WANT TO EAT EGGS I WANT EGGS AND THAT'S THAT, SO ARE THESE EGGS OR AREN'T THEY? AND IS THAT NOT BACON. NO ANSWER ME. ARE THEY EGGS? YES THANK YOU. AND THAT'S BACON"

Ronan I am down on my knees begging you to write more speeches for Walker to recite

PLEASE I BEG OF YOU

Yeah I'm with John here, that's entertainment!

"THE TROUBLE WITH CRIME IS THERE CAN NEVER BE A GREY AREA. SURE, THERE ARE CASES WHEN YOU KICK TOO HIGH BUT JUSTICE IS NOT AN A LA CARTE MENU. IF I GO TO A RESTAURANT AND ASK FOR SOUP, AND THE WAITER BRINGS SALAD, WHO SHOULD DECIDE WHAT TO DO TO HIM AS PUNISHMENT? IF YOU'RE THINKING ANYONE OTHER THAN YOURS TRULY, THEN I GUESS YOU'D BETTER SPEND ANOTHER YEAR AT THE COLLEGE BOOKS SON"

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 18 April 2004 12:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh this is beautiful. Can we have an episode where he faces off against his long lost criminal cousin, who says things like "DON'T TRY IT."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 18 April 2004 13:00 (twenty-two years ago)

except his criminal cousin is actually Walker's identical twin and they fight each other with Karate like in that Jean-Claude Van Damme flick.

this pic is dying for some Walker dialogue. Something to do with faulty belt buckles and the U.S. economy?
