cbs broadcast the television movie "walker, texas ranger: trial by fire", produced by paramount network television (now cbs television studios), on october 16, 2005. chuck norris, sheree j. wilson and judson mills reprised their roles, and clarence gilyard shot a cameo for the movie but was not featured due to the filming's conflict with a long-planned family vacation. to fill the void, judson mills, who was not in the original script, returned to reprise the role of francis gage. nia peeples, who played the role of sydney cooke for seasons 7 and 8, was also not featured in walker's return to prime-time television. the explanation given was that producers decided not to follow much of the original "walker texas ranger" series, as to give the movie a fresh look. even the show's original opening credits with the theme "eyes of a ranger" performed by chuck norris, was absent from the tv movie.

the show has garnered a particular cult appreciation among conan o'brien fans, from one of his most popular segments called the "walker texas ranger lever". he explained since nbc had recently purchased universal, he could now show clips from "walker texas ranger" without having to pay any money. the joke was that he would pull a giant red lever, causing a random and comically awkward scene to play. random scenes included walker jumping out of a plane and punching a woman in the face, or being shot in the back while proposing, or haley joel osment playing a boy who is first meeting the rest of walker's friends, and suddenly interjects "walker told me i have aids". conan would go on to riff at the bizarre nature of the scene out of context. he did this primarily on "late night with conan o'brien", which prompted the show's star, chuck norris in character as walker, to make a surprise guest appearance by acting out a skit in parody of the action scenes from "walker, texas ranger".
