Yeah it didn't get the greatest rating because of the football game. I hadn't even realized the football game had run late so I was upstairs all ready to watch it with popcorn ect. and then some other show started and I almost cried. My dad was like the football game ran late so he watched CBS for like an hour just to tell me when it came on. But yeah if the football wouldn't have run late or if they took off that other show then the movie would have gotten better ratings. Or if they would have aired it on a different night. On Sunday night people have to go to bed to get up for work/school so I lot of people had to go to bed instead of watching it.

I think they are going to make another movie too eventually. I mean, they have to because they can`t leave us with that ending. It would be too cruel. And what`s the point making that cliffhanger if they could run the risk of not be giving another go ahead. I`m sure the Norris is aware of how the fans would react to that. I mean, if this was the last movie and we are not to know what happened to Alex it will kind of ruin the success they had with the show. That`s just my opinion though.

The same thing happened to me, Chelsea. I was excited to watch the movie, and then it didn't come on. I had no idea what had happened, but they put a scroll on the screen that said the movie was coming on next. If I hadn't stayed on the channel and saw that, I would have missed the movie.
I think the cliffhanger was used to set up another movie. It sure got my attention! I think they'll have to have one because of it.

I didn't even see the scroll at the bottom of the screen. I don't think I hung around long enough to see it. When the theme song or whatever it was for the show came on I was out the door and downstairs.
And yeah the cliffhanger was probably used to set up for another movie. And it got my attention too Kayla! That ending made me so mad that I didn't go to bed until almost 2 in the morning on the school night and I throw up! Not joking either. But yeah they HAVE to do another one now. I just can't see the Norris brothers leaving us like that. That would be EVIL!

You sound just like me, Chelsea! I was up so late that night. When Walker walked out of the courthouse, I was thinking, "Aw, it's over. That was good." Then the camera angle changed, and I was thinking, "It's not over?" I was shocked when Alex was shot. I never saw it coming. I hadn't watched Walker in a long time, but I was a huge fan while the showed originally aired. The ending totally made me a fan again, and I was going around the house saying, "You will not believe what just happened!" I was up all night searching the Internet and visiting all of the Walker sites again. lol

lol...Yeah I thought it was over too. I was sitting there thinking 'That was so good.' And then when Walker was walking out I was like 'It's over. I've waited all these months and now it's over.' I was like happy and sad at the same time. Then the camera changed and that music started playing and I was like 'Oh great. What's going to happen now?' Then the shooting started and I was yelling at the tv I was like 'Alex get down NOW!' But of course she didn't. And then she was shot and I sat there for a minute and started to cry because I thought she was...you know. I went downstairs and my mom was like 'What's wrong?' And I'm like 'THEY just shot Alex! And LEFT IT!' I was online a second later talking to whoever was on. And by the time I throw up my dad asked why and my mom was like 'She's just upset over the movie' and I'm like 'No I'm not' but I really was. If I wouldn't have had school the next day I would have been up all night. But I was like in a daze at school all day and my friends were like 'Are you okay?' and I was like 'No THEY shot Alex.'

Oh my gosh! I hate it so much for you! The next movie better be great.
The next day I went to school, and I was telling people about it. lol I ended up buying a Walker shirt soon after it. You have to spread the word! People definitely noticed the shirt, too.

The only place I've ever seen a WTR shirt is on ebay. What does yours look like? Is it one that just says like 'Walker Texas Ranger' or something?

www.walkerstore.com/ Go there! The store is run by Stephanie Norris, Chuck's daughter-in-law, I believe. There are some really cute shirts and neat stuff there! I just looked to see if they still offered the shirt I bought, but they don't. I didn't actually get the exact shirt I ordered, but I recieved a similar one. It is white and has 3/4 sleeves, which are black. It has the Walker, Texas Ranger logo on the front and below it says "Cast & Crew 2001." I can't remember how much it was off the top of my head. It came really quick though, and it comes in an envelope that is addressed from Stephanie Norris! I saved my envelope. lol I'll take pictures later today and post them, if you want.

Thanks for the link Kayla! I so want one now! I'll just have to talk my dad for it. Maybe he'll let me order it for my birthday or something. I like the 'Reunion' one and the 'It's a Wrap' one. And I'd love to see pics.
lol...saving the envelope...I've done that before. I wrote to Caterina Scorsone (Canadian actress) like last summer or the summer before that and I kept the envelope too just because she wrote on it. And now it's hanging on my wall along with the autograph and letter I got.

You're welcome! You can't visit the site without wanting something. lol I love the 'Reunion' shirts! I'll post pictures later today.
That's great that you have saved an envelope before. lol That's great that Caterina wrote you back. I'd hang it on my wall, too. lol

You can't visit the site without wanting something. lol So true! And some of those things were neat. I was there a long time ago (that's probably why I had forgotten about it) and they didn't have all of that stuff. Can't wait to see pics!

I was never able to watch the movie on TV since it didn`t air here in my country. But I knew it was going to be on in America. I was so jealous by the way I had heard some rumours about one of the main character was going to get shot and I had this funny feeling it was going to be Alex. So when I got home from school the day after the movie aired i went online to see if people was talking about the movie. And of course there were, people was so upset and talking about Alex gettin shot. I almost started to cry I remember I was thonking that if the Norris brothers had wanted people to talk about the movie they had indeed managed to achieved that. Later I was able to download the movie and even though I knew Alex was going to get shot it was a huge shock to actually see it.

Congrats on getting the first season Sniffen! I hope you enjoy it!
And Kayla, I went back to the walker store a few minutes ago to check out payment and stuff in case my dad lets me get one (or two). Did you order yours online? It said something about a min. purchase of $75 and I was like WOW! Because I didn't want to spend that much. But yeah I was just wondering if you bought yours online and like they let you get out of it somehow or there wasn't a min. purchase when you bought yours.
