Why Walker, Texas Ranger Still Packs a Punch
Premiering in 1993, Walker, Texas Ranger became an action TV staple thanks to its blend of crime-fighting, martial arts, and old-school justice. Norris, who was already a martial arts legend, brought his real-life skills to the role of Cordell Walker, a Texas Ranger who took down criminals with fists and cowboy ethics. The show ran for eight seasons and inspired a dedicated fanbase that still tunes in for its mix of high-energy action and classic storytelling.
