Walker, Texas Ranger

Walker, Texas Ranger was a television show that ran from April, 1993 to May, 2001 during primetime on CBS. The show emphasized values such as abstaining from the use of drugs and participation in community service; it was also once considered to be the most violent show on television. Martial arts are shown prominently as the primary tool of law enforcement (albeit falsely) and occasionally as a tool for Walker and company to reach out to the community. It had about one pilot season and eight regular seasons although many fans consider the pilot season to be the first season which therefore gives the show nine seasons. Although it remained popular throughout much of its run, it was also criticized by some who found it unrealistic, melodramatic, and sappy.

The Theme Song

At the beginning of every show, the theme song reveals the basic nature of the show. The song, titled "The Eyes of The Ranger" was written by songwriter Tirk Wilder and sung by Chuck Norris, though sung in one episode by guest star Lila McCann. The lyrics are as follows:
