“Here’s something fun for an hour that you’ll never put on again, but hopefully you’ll watch it. And it’s cheap!”. The protagonist of ‘Walker’ and ‘Supernatural’ has not come to play
‘Walker, Texas Ranger’, a classic of Spanish summer rehashes, It lasted just over 200 episodes divided into 9 seasons. starring Chuck Norris. However, its reboot, ‘Walker’, has not been so lucky, and after 4 seasons it has ended its run on The CW, at which time Jared Padalecki, its star, He took the opportunity to tell the boatman’s truths to the channel.
Walker, not runner
Padalecki is, more or less, The visible face of The CW after fifteen years in ‘Supernatural’ and another four in ‘Walker’. Half a life dedicated to a network that he has had no problem destroying in an interview for Variety due to its new direction, more focused on making shows about ‘Scrabble’ or ‘Trivial Pursuit’ than in making quality series.
I feel like the CW that I’ve been a part of for the last year is not the CW that I’ve been a part of for the last 20 years. They’re changing the network, and it’s not so much television as, “Here’s something funny for an hour that you’ll never turn on again, but hopefully you’ll watch it. And it’s cheap!” And I hate to say it, but I’m being honest. I mean, screw them. They can’t fire me again. I’m being brutally honest. I think they’re looking for really cheap, easy content to fill time.
Although it may seem like Padalecki is shooting himself in the foot, the truth is that he is right: Since Nexstar took control of the network in 2022, it has been progressively eliminating all series except for one, ‘All American’, replacing them with game shows, reality shows and sports in an attempt to reduce the network’s huge losses. don’t worry about the future of the actor: In the same interview, he says that he has already spoken with Eric Kripke about participating in the last season of ‘The Boys’. And life goes on for everyone.
