''Walker, Texas Ranger'' fights criticism
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY | By Bruce Fretts | April 08, 1994
”Our weakness is young women, which is the Dr. Quinn audience. As the show runs, we’ll get into episodes that deal with situations that young women would like to see, like this one here,” Norris says, relaxing between smooches in the white house 35 miles southwest of Dallas that doubles as Walker’s ranch. (A divorced father of three and grandfather of one, Norris lives with his girlfriend, interior designer Monica Hall, on a ranch three hours south of Dallas in Navasota.)
Don’t worry about Walker’s becoming a wimp, though. ”We have to walk a very fine line,” says co-executive producer John Ashley (The A-Team). ”If we have Chuck doing love scenes and drawing-room comedy, then the action fans will be disappointed. We can’t be Dr. Quinn any more than Dr. Quinn can be Walker.”
