Walker, Texas Ranger rides again!
This is not really a re-boot of the 1993 long-running TV series "Walker, Texas Ranger", with Chuck Norris. Instead it is a "re-imagining" of the same character, younger and with children.Jared Padalecki (also Producer) doesn't bring the same set of skills that Norris did but is a San Antonio native and at 38 is a bit younger than Norris was. He must learn the difficult art of being a single parent to two teens.
It is hard to judge a new TV series based on the first episode, as it sets up the various aspects of the stories going forward. My wife and I watched the first episode and agree that it has good possibilities. It seems the struggle for Walker to become a good single parent, with the help of the grandparents, will continue to be a main theme.
Some question the hats. It is an integral part of the uniform for Texas Rangers. To be dressed appropriately, Rangers are required to wear a western hat, a dress shirt, a tie, a dress coat, appropriate pants, western belt, western boots, and the official Texas Ranger badge pinned above the left shirt pocket. An approved handgun should be worn in a waist holster at all times.
So my synopsis is ... good start, the characters are interesting, I look forward to additional episodes.
