That's very sad, good intelligently written shows usually don't last too long. Shows like Walker Texas Ranger seem to last for more than a decade.

THE poster child for that very concept--"Firefly."

Shows like Walker Texas Ranger seem to last for more than a decade.

You may be unaware of it, but on college campuses today there are parties geared around airings of Walker Texas Ranger. Students try to top each other coining slogans for the show, and websites share info on the star. Chuck Norris is very much in vogue among the young.

The very lack of sophistication in the storylines plays a large part in the show's appeal. Today's jaded young -- at least those who are into Walker Texas Ranger -- are more than a little sick of the navel gazing in Hollywood. A flat out, simple good guy like Walker, with an overabundance of masculine virtue, strikes a chord with them.

That's a good thing.
