Note that there is another version of the complete Walker set that is polluted with DOZENS of Divx encoded episodes that can ONLY be played back on special Divx enabled DVD players or on a DVD enabled computer with the Divx codec installed. I bought this imperfect set last year from the fine folks at Topchoices/BDWholesale Marketing... and was sadly disappointed. Now for the first time ever I have assembled a COMPLETE Walker set that is available with discs that will play ANYWHERE region free and on ANY MACHINE! NO Divx capability required! If you elect to buy one of the cheaper Walker sets, you have been warned.
My set is Top Quality. Many episodes 10 of 10 full length and uncut/unedited DVD rips. The cheaper set I bought appeared to be totally sourced from cut and edited 46 minute episodes from the likes of the USA Network and The Hallmark Channel.

Walker, Texas Ranger was an American television Western/police dramatic series that aired on CBS with three pilot episodes .. the FIRST SEASON...followed by eight full seasons, from April 21, 1993 to May 19, 2001. It has been reportedly broadcast in over 100 countries. It has since spawned one made-for-television movie. DVD sets of the first, second, third, and final seasons have so far been released by CBS/Paramount. At various times since 1997, reruns of the show have aired domestically on the USA Network, Showcase Action, and Hallmark Channel and in syndication ALL OVER THE WORLD!

The show was known for its moral values. For example, the characters refrained from the use of drugs and they participated in community service. Martial arts were shown prominently as the primary tool of law enforcement and occasionally as a tool for Walker and company to reach out to the community.

The show has gained a following for its camp appeal thanks largely to its improbable combination of martial arts and modern Western genres and to the resurgent popularity of its star, Chuck Norris.

The show centered on Cordell (Fire)Walker (played by 1980s action hero Chuck Norris), a Dallas-based member of the Texas Rangers. Walker was raised by his paternal uncle, a Native American named Ray Firewalker (played by the late actor Floyd Red Crow Westerman from 1993-94), served in the Marines in Special Forces in the Vietnam War, and shares the values of sheriffs in the Wild West. One episode reveals that Walker was once engaged to a woman who was killed by the suspect of an investigation.

His partner and best friend is James "Jimmy" Trivette (played by Matlock alumnus Clarence Gilyard), a former Dallas Cowboys player who takes a more modern high technology based approach to police work. Walker also works closely (and shares a mutual physical attraction) with Alexandra "Alex" Cahill (played by Dallas alumna Sheree J. Wilson), a Tarrant County Assistant District Attorney. He also gets advice on cases from C.D. Parker (played by the late Noble Willingham), a veteran Ranger (later inducted into the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame) who worked with Walker until retiring to operate a small restaurant and bar called CD's Bar and Grill.

Several elements and scenarios appeared frequently on the series:

Walker performs his legendary Roundhouse Kick to the villain's face as a last move that usually defeats the victim IMMEDIATELY!
When the victim falls from a window...off the roof.... wherever...the shot of Walker kicking his adversary is then rapidly repeated, twice, from different angles.
The kidnapping of assistant district attorney Alex Cahill.
Walker taking part in undercover operations, with the aim of getting evidence to convict the antagonists' leader.
The antagonists' leader attempting to leave town or temporarily close down their illegal operations to avoid being arrested by Walker or his associates
Walker is often shown teasing Trivette as they drive from place to place.
Walker talking to or interacting with animals—staring them down to prevent them from attacking, directing them to do complex tasks, or using their knowledge for his benefit.
A vacationing Walker (or an associate) inadvertently stumbling upon an illicit enterprise that requires Walker's intervention and the ultimate destruction of said enterprise; the climax often comes just before Walker returns to his post in Dallas.
Paranormal or mystical phenomena, including but not limited to: ghosts of Native Americans directing Walker towards clues; the ghost of Hayes Cooper, legendary Texas Ranger, leading Walker to buried treasure; the ghost of an old Native American shaman striking Walker with a lightning bolt and transporting him hundreds of years into the past.
Troubled children or teens overcoming the odds with Walker's assistance. In various episodes, this has included: Juan, a boxing prodigy whose father beats him and his mother (and later kills himself and the mother when driving drunk) ("Golden Boy", season 9); Chad Morgan, a young telekinetic who is institutionalized so that his abilities can be measured and tested ("Brainchild", season 6); a boot camp for delinquent 18- to 21-year-olds that Walker and Trivette run ("Mr. Justice, season 6); a child (guest star Haley Joel Osment) whose drug-addicted mother led to his being infected with a deadly strain of AIDS ("Lucas 1 and 2");and the Kick Drugs Out of America program, an after school martial-arts class run by Walker to encourage kids to stay out of trouble.
Dual plot lines involving a legendary Texas Ranger of the Old West, Hayes Cooper (also played by Norris). Other Walker regulars have performed dual roles in these episodes, although some appeared in them only once.
The majority of the antagonists fight against Walker and his friends or regular police officers when they are declared to be under arrest, and the majority of criminals and law enforcement personnel are also accomplished kick boxers/martial artists.
Walker arriving just in time to save someone, or to arrest criminals.
C.D. being injured by the antagonist and being hospitalized.
When suspect people or criminals are confronted by Walker with interrogating questions, they usually respond by pretending to turn away, only to then draw back and attempt to throw a hay maker punch. This punch is always blocked by Walker, and after it's failure, he proceeds to beat them until they are rendered to the ground.
The episode often ends with a lighthearted moment in which the main characters exchange jokes and have a good laugh at C.D.'s bar. This is commonly concluded with a camera still of Walker and/or another character laughing which subsequently fades to black before the credits roll.

The final disc of the set is a beautifully recorded version of the 2005 TV Movie "Trial By Fire" Recorded letterboxed and in High Definition.
The CBS network broadcast the television movie Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire, produced by Paramount Network Television (now CBS Paramount Network Television), on October 16, 2005. Chuck Norris, Sheree J. Wilson and Judson Mills reprised their roles, and Clarence Gilyard shot a cameo for the movie but was not featured due to the filming's conflict with a long-planned family vacation. To fill the void, Judson Mills, who was not in the original script, returned to reprise character of Francis Gage. Nia Peeples, who played the role of Sydney Cook for Seasons 8 and 9, was also not featured in Walker's return to prime-time television. The explanation given was that producers decided not to follow much of the original Walker Texas Ranger series, as to give the movie a fresh look. Even the opening credits with the theme "Eyes of a Ranger" performed by Chuck Norris, was absent.

Although the return of Walker Texas Ranger did not garner the ratings CBS would have hoped for (due in part to a late running football game pushing back the start time an hour), indications were that CBS was green-lighting future Walker Texas Ranger "movie of the week" projects. But as of spring 2006, both CBS and the Norris camp have been silent as to the future of the franchise, leaving many to wonder if it will return. Trial by Fire ended with Wilson's character ending up as the victim of a courthouse shooting, leaving many to believe that there would be a follow-up movie.
