The eyes of the robot are upon you. In this extremely prescient episode of America's greatest television show WALKER, TEXAS RANGER, a supercomputer named Art keeps a watchful eye on his boy master, a brainchild named Chad who has powerful psychokinetic abilities. Portrayed by 7TH HEAVEN's David Gallagher, Chad is being held captive by the evil science lab Futures R&D, who force him to do grueling psychokinesis displays until his nose starts bleeding. To rescue Chad from his STEM career are our heroes, Walker (Chuck Norris) and his faithful sidekick Trivette (Clarence Gilyard). Walker and Trivette chat with the boy on an online chess website, eventually triangulating his location to Futures, and in the process locate Chad's genius mother, who built Art to protect the child she was told was dead. The amazing thing to know about the comedy of WALKER, TEXAS RANGER is that Walker and Trivette do not bat an eye whatsoever about this young boy using telekinesis to steal bacon from the breakfast table. The style guide of the show seems to state that Walker and Trivette should never once seem to be losing in combat, nor should they ever be intimidated by paranormal forces. These silly creative rules lead a lot of people to believe that WALKER is a substanceless show. While it was definitely slop in its day, revisiting episodes in big 2026 is a revelatory experience, because every episode is packed with interesting sets and a fully bespoke soundtrack. The care and love that went into chud chungus TV in the 90s puts even our prestige efforts of today to shame. BRAINCHILD is one of the best episodes of a genius television show, predicting the rise of AI agents and wowing us with paranormal plots while throwing in some good old fashioned Christian prayer. WALKER, TEXAS RANGER does an amazing job of keeping us surprised, even though its titular character doesn't even know what the word surprise means.
