That was some of the best flying I've seen yet. Right up to the part where you got killed. You never, never leave your wing man.

Gailard Sartain in the pilot of Walker, Texas Ranger, 1993.

This was the first time I ever watched this show. The 3 main characters are Texas Ranger, Cordell Walker (action movie star Chuck Norris, Texas Ranger, former pro football player, James Trivette (Clarence Gilyard Jr) transferred in to replace a fallen Ranger and retired Ranger CD Parker (Gailard Sartain). I started watching only because of Gailard, thinking it would be a routine cop action series.

CD is a bored retired Ranger who is answering Advice Column letters from the lovelorn for the local newspaper as "Trail Buddy" to help pass his time. I think this job was going to lead him to errantly guess the identity of a letter writer who is a secret admirer of his to be Trivette in a subsequent show creating some very awkward situations.

On their way to meet the new Ranger, CD tells Walker the history of the new Ranger, Trivette and how great he is.

They meet Trivette at a pool where high diving is practiced. Trivette is dressed only in his speedo and drinking a nutrition, energy drink and Walker, being the macho, homophobic type makes a snide comment to CD.

AS Walker and Trivette talk, CD looks at Trivette with his tongue pushing out his mouth, like he sees something he likes.

The three of them walk a ways with CD in the rear averting his eyes from what I can only imagine from Trivette's butt.

Walker and Trivette leave CD and CD takes this chance to take another look at Trivette's butt. Then looks back in the other direction sheepishly, in case someone was watching him.

This would be end of Gailard Sartain playing CD Parker. The Producers replaced him with Noble Willingham. They said it was because Gailard was too young for the role and younger than Norris. He was 47. Norris was 53 and Willingham was 62. But they knew this when they first cast it and explained it by CD being retired because his knee was seriously injured on the job. Gailard said he would have been happy to stay for the whole series.

I think the real reason is that the Producers wanted to be edgier than their audience could handle. They probably found out in preview screenings that the audience couldn't handle man for man love, even unrequited. They still wanted it. It made the show stand out. They ran the show over 2 weeks to get the general audience reaction. They ran only one more show for season one that didn't include CD Parker. The result was the same as the screenings and they had to replace Gailard with the older actor and scrab the edgy sub-plot.

I think Gailard's character was very interesting and I think his performance was spot on as a guy who is in lust with another guy. I'm sure throughout Gailard's life he has had guys who reacted to him this way. I know I would have been one of those.
