![]() Anway, it turns out, it’s the shop teacher, played by special guest James Remar, and the episode culminates in a tense rooftop battle at the school where Walker round house kicks the teacher off the roof, killing him in front of one his former students/drug runners and probably scarring the kid for life. ![]() ![]() It gets pretty ridiculous by the third time the Walker brings in the Power Team to speak and it has to be costing the school at least a little money to keep bringing them in. Walker investigates but also tries to inspire the kids by repeatedly bringing in motivational speakers, The Power Team, who give positive life lessons while smashing blocks of ice, bending steel beams and literally breaking the chains of negativity. The principal of the school, an old friend of Walker’s, thinks that one of the teacher’s at the school has a drug dealing operation going on. One of my favorite “Walker goes undercover” episodes, The Principal finds Walker investigating a local high school under the guise of a substitute teacher. The b-plot is also pretty hilarious as Gage and Sydney go undercover in a nightclub to get a case against it’s crime boss owner and is basically a demo reel for Nia Peeples to try and be a musician as well. The principal basically gives Walker free range to do whatever he thinks is necessary to fix the school, which apparently has nothing but the worst of the worst kids in it, and he, of course, starts a karate program and also starts a uniform program and it all culminates in a hilariously bad karate demonstration with one of the many “inspirational” songs Walker utilized over the years. Walker did not shy away from doing “very special” episodes and this episode pretty much represents all of them on the list and, while I appreciate the message they were trying to convey about accepting everyone and not bullying, the way Walker goes about reforming a school after one of the students commits suicide is super cheesy and impractical. Feel free to debate or list episodes I missed in the comments. Here are, in my humble opinion, the ten most ridiculous episodes of Walker, Texas Ranger. Chuck Norris as Cordell Walker led his revolving team of Texas rangers against the worst criminals the state had to offer, usually drug dealers or escaped convicts, but there were certain cases that were so insane, so bizarre or so ridiculously cheesy, we had to do a countdown. Walker, Texas Ranger, loved genuinely by some, ironically by most, it lasted 8 glorious, round house kick filled years on CBS and lives on in syndication (and spirtually in Steven Seagal’s True Justice).
