They had a really neat display in the Museum for Walker/Chuck Norris and another one for the Lone Ranger because those two were the most famous fictional Texas Rangers. The guy in the gift shop said that Chuck Norris had made a lot of real Texas Rangers angry because he wore a black hat in the show. Real Texas Rangers are only allowed to wear light colored hats on duty. They take that stuff pretty seriously, evidently.
"Walker: Texas Ranger" was very corny and was pretty laughable. We watched in every Saturday at my house because we only had 3 channels and it beat the crap out of "Lawrence Welk" reruns on PBS. If you watch "Walker" as a comedy, it's fantastic. It's got to be one of the worst police dramas ever... right up there with Nash Bridges.
Chuck Norris, however, from everything I've read and heard is a really great guy. He does a lot for charity, helps his church, and does a lot for children's hospitals and inner city youth. And even though he's gotten older, he's a legitimate martial arts champion... probably one of the most accomplished American martial artists and certainly one of the best ambassadors for the sport in our country. And Every episode of "Walker" was certainly no cheesier than the old Joe cartoon. I think Walker would make a great member of the Joe team.
You are certainly entitled to your own opinon Oliver and as I have talked with several Texas Rangers they did not care for his protrayal of them and what they stood for. I am no fan of the show and never will be, thanks to one of my neighbors who despised the show. He was a Texas Ranger for 30 years or more and I am listening to his word over some guy trying to play his part. I have read into the real story of the character that Van Dame played in the movie Bloodsport and he is one bad ass!! He was by the way in the Air Force and brought his teachings to the U.S. after winning and setting several records for his accomplishments in the ring. I think that Frank would make a much better Joe then Norris any day and have a bigger role with the unit.
