Walker, Texas Ranger: One Riot, One Ranger



This is a strange release from last week as this is the pilot episode from 1993 for the long running Chuck Norris series.  This has been available on the season one box set for quite some time so I really am curious as to why the single disc release.  Is it just to put out a new package with Chuck on it?  Is CBS trying to gauge some interest on a new Walker TV movie?  Did Chuck threaten someone with a death spin kick?    Time will tell and I did see this on the new release shelf at the box store last week. 

I even had this episode on laser disc:
 
 I would rather see a release of the 2005 TV movie Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire.  This movie debuted on a Sunday night and was running late after an overtime NFL game and just got lost that night and even confused DVRs as most people ended up watching an episode of the CBS show Cold Case.  The movie was pretty good and ended with the most ridiculous cliffhanger ever with one of the main characters hanging on for their life and the movie was never followed up.  The U.K . has a release of this so maybe we will get this release in the near future.
