Beloved CBS show "Walker, Texas Ranger" is set for a reboot, but some fans may be less than thrilled to hear that the show is also slated to undergo a couple of woke changes.
For instance, Sgt. Cordell Walker's new partner will be a woman and his younger brother will be gay.
According to Variety, the new CW show will simply be called "Walker" and will showcase stars Jared Padalecki, Lindsey Morgan, and Keegan Allen. Padalecki, from the CW's "Supernatural," will play the lead as a widower and father with his own moral code who returns to Austin to find out there is hard work to be done in his hometown.
"He'll attempt to reconnect with his children, navigate clashes with his family, and find unexpected common ground with his new partner (Morgan) one of the first women in Texas Rangers' history," Variety reported.
Keegan Allen, who played Toby Cavanaugh in "Pretty Little Liars," is cast to play Liam Walker, Cordell's younger brother. Here's his character description, per Variety:
Described as smart, slightly smug, but with a strong moral compass, Liam is Walker's younger gay and conservative brother who has been recently promoted to assistant DA. Liam and Walker are close, but Liam gives his brother no shortage of tough love. Liam has always stayed close to home, often sacrificing his personal life in favor of his family duties. In Walker's absence, he stepped up to take Walker's kids under his wing. Liam's close relationship with Walker's son and daughter makes Walker slightly jealous.
"Knowing the CW, now that Walker is back, Liam will have plenty of opportunity to explore his gay personal life for audiences to watch," Newsbusters said in its coverage of the story. "It will also be very interesting to see how the CW interprets the conservative side of his character," the report added.
Newsbusters described the original series that aired eight seasons from 1993-2001 and starred actor Chuck Norris as "a wholesome, moral show about good vs. evil and roundhouse kicks." But now, in a new era of television entertainment, fans should not expect the same themes to be portrayed.
No, Trivette, (Clarence Gilyard) wasn’t a fag!
In real life he is a Christian, has 5 children and is an associate professor in Las Vegas.
Title for this new show “Walker, Rump Ranger.”
Once a show goes homo-promo, it’s time to change the channel.
Just asking... Not accusing...
NO CW Channel available on local cable. The show won;t last long, even the liberals will hate it
Yeah...That will work.
Is this a joke? Its not from the Onion and its not April 1st yet, so whats going on?
Can we get one new show without a gay character? They way Hollywood would have us think is that every third person is a homosexual.
Lindsey Morgan is the partner to Walker.
5’5” of man hunting, ass kicking fury that makes toughened bikers, middle linebackers, boom vest wearing jihadists, crooks and criminals of all stripes tremble in fear.
There is NOTHING WOKE about homosexuals!
This is so tiresome. Just solve crime and jail the crooks.
We don’t need to visit your bedrooms.
Talk about tail wagging the Dog.
‘Gay conservative’ is inherently impossible. Homosexuality by its very nature is not conservative behavior.
If youre ever in Texas, look behind you,
Cause thats where the rangers gonna be...
The theme song now has disturbing implications.
Is that a pistol in your holster, cowboy, or are you just glad to see me ...
“Should be a trannie black LGBT female to make it diverse enough to be accepted by the liberals.”
plus it would save tons of money if they had to pay only one “actress” who could check that many boxes ...
Why? Because that's have every gay character is presented on TV.
Walker, Texas Rump Ranger?
No...just no.
Gosh, that’ll go over about as well as making Higgins a woman in the attempted reboot of Magnum P.I. (which lasted about 20 seconds here).
Let me guess? His dad runs a garage and his mother identifies as a late model Dodge Caravan with a blown gasket that never gets repaired.
