History Series / WalkerTexasRanger

* DoesNotLikeGuns: ''Villains'' shoot people. Walker may flash his gun to make an arrest, but he very rarely pulls the trigger.

* BusCrash Noble Willingham left the show mid season 7, and in the series finale the {{Big Bad}} says that he killed his character.

* MagicalNativeAmerican: White Eagle, and later on, the Skinwalker.

* NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight (all the damn time)

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: the antagonists who are the arrogant offspring of rich families thinking they are entitled to do anything because of their money and social statuses.

* TemptingFate: In "The Principal", a corrupt drug-dealing high school teacher was about to throw a student off a rooftop for refusing to deal his drugs and threatening to expose him to the authorities? Walker comes in and stops him, the teacher then declares that he'll throw Walker off the building, too. Guess who winds up falling over the building instead?

--> Arsonist: "Forget it! I know the drill. Good cop, bad cop, he [the sheriff] threatens to bust my butt! then you come walking in here."

* SpyCatsuit

* LighterAndSofter: Starting around Season 6. The ''Brainchild'' episode in particular seemed like it had been written for some '80s Disney flick. There were also more [[VerySpecialEpisode Very Special Episode]]s, such as a plot involving a mentally disabled child, school bullying, teens using drugs, and young kids getting swept up into the wily ways of bad street gangs.

* BloodlessCarnage: When a man in cowboy boots kicks multiple criminals in the head, ''without'' drawing blood, this trope is active.
* BrokenAesop: How many characters stood up to bullies and thugs, only to get cut down by said thugs a scene or two later?

* CastingGag/CelebrityParadox: In "The Moscow Connection", at the very beginning, Trivette reads out a piece of literature describing in an almost poetic way of a stand off between two men. Walker questions what book this is, and Trivette says it is ''The Secret Power Within''. Walker follows this question by asking who wrote it, and is told that Chuck Norris had. He simply shrugs and claims to have never heard of him, earning a track record telling by Trivette of Chuck's achievements in martial arts. Again, Walker says he never heard of him--yet corrects Trivette when the latter makes a mistake in listing Norris' accomplishments.

** In Season 7's "Code of the West", the four main characters talk about who would play them in a movie. Trivette get Denzel Washington, Alex gets Helen Hunt, C.D. gets PaulNewman and Walker gets...Chuck Norris. When Walker complains they got Oscar winners, Trivette points out that Chuck was a six time World Karate Champion, which pleases Walker. Good thing since, of course...
ClintSquint: Could've easily been called "The Norris Squint".

''Walker, Texas Ranger'' was a combination of martial arts and modern Western, starring ChuckNorris as Texas Ranger Cordell Walker. Other characters include Cordell's best friend and partner James "Jimmy" Trivette (Clarence Gilyard), Assistant District Attorney Alex Cahill (Sheree J. Wilson), who also serves as his love interest, and veteran Ranger C.D. Parker (the late Noble Willingham).

Subject to much MemeticMutation in the 2000s. This is thanks, at least partially, to Conan O'Brien, who used to play [[{{Narm}} unintentionally humorous]] clips from the series on his show by way of the "Walker Texas Ranger Lever". As well as the general {{Memetic Badass}}ness of ChuckNorris.

* BilledAboveTheTitle: ChuckNorris

** If one looked at the earlier seasons of Walker it resembles close to a gritty cop show than the later seasons which are more tonned down and cartoony in comparison.
