Walker, Texas Ranger
Leslie Greif and Paul Haggis produced the American television action crime drama series Walker, Texas Ranger, which stars Chuck Norris as a member of the Texas Ranger Division. The show premiered on CBS in the spring of 1993, with three pilot episodes. New episodes aired from September 25, 1993 to May 19, 2001, with reruns showing on CBS until July 28, 2001. It was televised in over 100 countries and generated a made-for-television film, Trial By Fire. The film concluded on a cliffhanger that has yet to be addressed as of 2013. All seasons have been released on DVD. Reruns of the show have shown in syndication on the USA Network and Action in Canada at different periods since 1997. WGN America began airing the series on September 13, 2010. The show had a reputation for having strong moral ideals. The characters, for example, abstained from using narcotics and performed community work. Martial arts were clearly shown as law enforcement's primary instrument and, on occasion, as a tool for Walker and his team to reach out to the community. The show has subsequently become one of the most successful action shows in television history, and its kitsch appeal has earned it a cult following.
