View Full Version : Why should Walker (Texas ranger) be THAT stupid
coral100cor 12-25-2004, 11:41 PM like choosing the palce to ambush bank robbers in a room full of clerks or to say on TV where is hold the child of a woman hiding from killers?
I wander if they just don't care about the script, or there is a reason for this, and his stupidity is intentional. Then what reason? What for?
flaming_liberal 12-25-2004, 11:47 PM Wrong forum. Try the "On Topic Discussion."

I puted it here because I'm interested more in the social angle of the issue - why a positive hero is so stupid - does it has some bigger meaning?
jwreck 12-26-2004, 12:10 AM BEcause its a poorly done b-rate show that is more interested in showcasing karate than being realistic?
flaming_liberal 12-26-2004, 12:14 AM Look at its demographics. Still should go in the other forum. Fits perfectly within the whole purpose of that forum.

If you mean me - sick people in bed watch it. Actually everytime when I'm sick I'm discovering a lot of puzzling stuff on TV.
But if you ack in general - it supposed to be, at least once was, kind of hit, no?

It's a show - so it's not realistic, who cares, but why THE good guy - so stupid?!
Misteria 12-26-2004, 03:02 PM walker is good for stress relief, see him kick and punch and knock out the baddies suuuuuuuure makes me feel better :D

It's one of the highest rated shows in Jesusland.:|
eeper69 12-26-2004, 03:32 PM IMO, it is a stupid and pointless show. I watched it one time for 10 minutes and turned it off. That was 10 minutes too long. :mad:

It coulda been worse....
It coulda been 10 minutes (Or longer) of "CHiPs" !!
eeper69 12-26-2004, 03:48 PM It coulda been worse....
It coulda been 10 minutes (Or longer) of "CHiPs" !!Well, as a matter of fact, it was the same scenario with that show too. :mad: :confused:
Swappy 12-26-2004, 07:41 PM Whats wrong with Walker? Some of us watched and worked on that show
Von Apfelstrudel 12-27-2004, 09:20 AM Whats wrong with Walker?

i think shes gotta point/itd be ok for a good guy to be stupid if it fit with the plot,but they just slap this garbage together/we're not very discerning abt the literature we consume here/there's some really good stuff here but the sponsors are more worried abt offending than enlightening/literature should enlighten ppl/there is a broader issue here

fat mike 12-27-2004, 11:12 PM Are you talking about the "dumbing down" of Americans?
there may be something to that,but american art has this "camp chic" thing going which is artistically interesting and a compelling and refreshing rebuff to the priggish stuffy self important european thing/the problem is not a lot of artists are equal to the challenge of producing truly artistic kitsch
eeper69 12-28-2004, 01:27 AM Agreed.
BadNews88 12-28-2004, 02:14 PM I dunno about YOU...but the local station here is having an AB FAB* New year's weekend MORON-A-THON starting Thursday Night, and I wanna see THAT!
* "ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS" , a BBC TV series starring JOANNA LUMLEY & JENNIFER SAUNDERS (Think if BEAVIS & BUTT-HEAD's mothers were british & had a show of their OWN, eh?)
Von Apfelstrudel 12-28-2004, 02:17 PM It's a show - so it's not realistic, who cares, but why THE good guy - so stupid?!
dunno, but ...
perhaps ...
would Chuck norris be executive producer of the Show ? :D that would account for much of the stupidity, I reckon :D
MangoGirl 12-29-2004, 05:17 PM Have you ever seen Conan make fun of Walker Texas Ranger? It's pretty funny...he just plays clips because of how ridiculous the storyline is. I actually never really minded it that much...
CowPunk 12-29-2004, 07:46 PM dunno, but ...
perhaps ...
would Chuck norris be executive producer of the Show ? :D that would account for much of the stupidity, I reckon :D
And the fact that he sings the theme song.
Misteria 12-30-2004, 08:37 AM ah what the heck, you should hear him dubbed in spanish!:D
its a lousy series but its entertaining crap i can watch a short time then change channels , zapping is fun! :nice: when i am bored.
nemolover 01-23-2005, 10:47 PM Poor Chuck....
My dad loves this show. And the funny stuff is that he doesnt even like TV that much, but he will stop everything for Walker. LOL :)
