Walker, Texas Ranger

[stpalm]

BEST COMEDY OF ALL TIME.



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.



Anyone see the thing Conan used to do? With the lever and the random Walker clip? Oh god, that was funny.

1. I had completely forgotten

About the random Walker Clip... Classic stuff right there.

I think Conan was so proud of that thing :)

2. Ah yes, I couldn't be prouder of Dallas

We've been host to so many bad tv shows.

I never worked on Walker, but most everyone in the film business in Dallas did at some point (which btw, is the one good thing about shows like that, they can keep a small film community floating). They all told me that when working on the show, you had to be VERY careful not to let on that you realized what absolute drek it was.


My favourite part of Walker, even though I never sat thru an entire episode, was the "morality play wrap-up" at the end of each one.

3. you had to keep your mouth shut? wow

and yeah, I saw an episode once where Walker is sitting in a bar with admiring people recapping what happened in the episode. Then this Mexican kid that Walker saved from slavery (really!) who got a job at the bar drops a glass accidentally and everyone laughs and says "Sergio!" and he smiles and the credits run as everyone is laughing.

4. damn...

that brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my lips even now. :sniff:

5. I know. Touching, yet hilarious.

6. Haha, I loved that gag on Conan...

The best was when he had the Walker lever and the chain that played the theme from Beverly Hills Cop (I think).

Brilliant.
