Walker

First off, I'm a big fan of Jared's, and was looking forward to seeing him in a new show. I never watched the original Walker much, as it was a little to cheesy for my taste, but I've always loved Chuck Norris.

Anyway, this show is very different from the original. I think a remake has a right to break new ground or change itself a bit. After all, that's kind of the point of a remake. However, in this case, the whole ranger/crime-solving aspect of the show takes a total back seat to all the family drama. It's basically a soap opera. There's very little action, too.

And as much as I hate to say it, much of the criticism of Jared's acting is accurate. He's an insecure, stuttering mess most of the time, unsure of what to do, but of course his strong female partner is always there to save the day. I wish they'd portray him as strong, confident, and sure of himself.

I watched the first couple of seasons, but I just couldn't stick with it any longer. It's worth checking out, but just don't be expecting a good action show, because this definitely isn't it.

A neurotic "Walker, Texas Ranger" with a speech impediment leading him to pause nervously between words, one who walks into walls by accident when in a stressing situation, who jitters and crouches like a scared mouse when faced with adversity ... a guy who erroneously jumps to conclusions, almost never wins a fight, who's unsure about himself and the world around him, indecisive, ineffective, apologetic ...

Hollywood, what are you guys doing over there? What's next? A dumb MacGyver without the swiss army knife or maybe a Rambo who tries talking it out first?

I'm fast forwarding through half the scenes Hollywood - your modern take on everything, and your political correctness, is ruining tv. Please stop ...

This show does not give enough to walker who is supposed to be the main character. The female ranger seems to trump him at every turn. This can not hold my attention because the original walker was action pack. This show is boring to say the least.

I want to like this show more. I love the cast. But I'd like to see real story lines where there's crimes to solve and justice for breaking the law that DOESN'T involve the entire family CONSTANTLY being the center of danger and kidnappings and suspicions of being criminals themselves... Come on now. This show could be amazing if the family could stop being targets. Give the characters a story line where they are real people with real problems and let the rangers solve non-personal crimes. I keep watching it hoping it'll get better. If they changed the writing, this show could stay on for many years.

I enjoyed watching the original Walker as a kid. I started watching this reboot because of Jared. It has had a couple of slow moments , but over all is a great show. Season two has done somethings I was really hoping for. I won't spoil it.

I'm hoping the show will take a more positive playful spin atleast in small moments.

I'm glad it has been renewed for a third season.
