SLEEPWALKER, TEXAS STRANGER
WALKER, TEXAS RANGER
CBS 1993-2001
SLEEPWALKER, TEXAS STRANGER
MAD #343, March 1996
w: Dick DeBartolo
a: Angelo Torres
A regular police show about Cordell Walker (Chuck Norris) a member of the Texas Rangers, a part of the state police. His partner was Jimmy Trivette (Clarence Gilyard) and they worked with D.A. Alex Cahill (Sherree North). His former captain was C.D. Parker (Noble Willingham) who now owns a bar and in this parody is mistaken for his Uncle Ray.
Around the start of the internet which was around the time of this show's popularity, we had 'Chuck Norris jokes' based on this program that were all factoids people made up about his strength and masculinity like “Chuck Norris was bitten by a poisonous snake and than the snake died” or “Chuck Norris' bearskin rug isn't dead, it's a live one afraid to move”
WRECKER, TEXAS MANGLER
Cracked #308, July 1996
w: Lou Silverstone
a: Walter Brogan
Lou Silverstone makes a reference to his former MAD co-worker Sergio Aragones.
The officers at the end are James McDaniel, Dennis Franz, and Jimmy Smits of NYPD Blue which was notorious for showing nudity.
