Walker
I’ve been watching a lot of Walker lately. You know, the Texas Ranger. It’s on the Hallmark channel all the time. It’s very entertaining. Like Baywatch, but with more violence. Everything about Walker is hilarious. The production quality is oh so low, and they didin’t even attempt to hide it. They just crapped out episodes of this show without a spec of remorse for the viewing public.
Most of the time I can’t take a whole episode but there’s almost always a scene worth watching if you turn it on for a second. Walker ran for 10 seasons (well, 9 and a TV Movie) and the writing was never that good to begin with, so you can imagine how bad it got in the last few years. Sometimes it’s great just to check the episode blurbs to see what Walker’s up to. Here are some good ones:
Episode 79: Higher Power
Walker must fight to protect the reincarnation of a Buddhist monk.
Episode 81: Ghost Rider
A dead child’s spirit assists Walker to discover who murdered him eight years ago.
Episode 157: Way of the Warrior
An indian shaman transports Walker back to the 19th century to prevent a recurrence of a 20th century injustice.
Episode 160: Suspicious Minds
The deaf daughter of an Elvis impersonator witnesses a murder, necessitating the Rangers’ protection until the suspect is apprehended.
Episode 41: Mean Streets
Walker must put a stop to rich kids who decide to help clean up the slums–by killing the homeless. (This is from Season 4!!)
Episode 195: Medieval Crimes
Workers at a Medieval-themed restaurant moonlight as fine art and jewelry thieves.
Episode 199: Blood Diamonds
The Rangers try to bring a halt to the black market trade of African conflict diamonds for illegal weaponry. Meanwhile, Alex finds herself in danger of exposure to the Ebola virus.
Great stuff.
