Walker is back. Chuck Norris is returning to Dallas next month 
to shoot "Walker Texas Ranger: Ring of Fire," a two-hour movie for CBS that producer/director Aaron Norris hopes will relaunch the franchise, which was cancelled in 2001. Norris tells Variety:
"Reunions are more about one-offs," he said. "I would like to do more of
these."To that end, action in "Ring of Fire" will pretty much pick up "as if we’ve
been doing the show the whole time," with Walker simply doing what he’s always
done: collar criminals and kick bad-guy butt (and not necessarily in the that
order).Plot of "Ring of Fire" has Walker investigating whether one of his Ranger
buddies is a serial killer — or just being framed. He’ll also try to track down
a teen on the run from a crime syndicate.
The big question is, will Chuck still sing the theme song?
I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
I think they should hire James Reasoner to sing the theme song.
No, no, no . . . but I’ll be glad to write more Walker novels. Maybe I could get the name of the honky tonk right this time.
First the DALLAS reunion movie. Now this. I’m gonna go wrassle some longhorns before the chuckwagon rolls around.
For those of you who need a re-introduction of Ranger check out the site at the bottom for clips that were aired on Conan. 🙂

Just to be clear, Walker Texas Ranger isn’t one of the TV shows you were talking about when you said TV was offering better entertainment value than the movies, right?
Jason,
Thanks for the link to those WALKER clips. They were hilarious. i loved the one where Walker sniffs some dirt, tastes it, and then says: “A plane crashed here.”

Surprisingly, the Walker fan fiction isn’t very good either. Hmmmmm…
