Line 9:
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]:
** An episode featured an Arab terrorist purchasing a sonic laser ... intending to destroy the Capitol building with it, and, he says, "maybe the White House too". This story also provided a brief example of [[Even Evil Has Standards]] when one of the henchmen displays outrage at this plan. The episode aired in the spring of 2000, a year and a half before the events of September 11.
** The season five episode "Plague" has a group of [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Corrupt Corporate Executives]]s distributing a vitamin supplement for the cows to eat on an Native American reserve. [[What an Idiot!|This is despite previous attempts at testing profit boosting drugs on live communities ended horribly in Uganda]]. The local shaman comes off as the [[Only Sane Man]] when he widely disapproves of the supplement being introduced into the reserve's farms until the milk got poisoned. Fast forward a decade later and many Americans are complaining about similar methods of vitamin and steroid boosted animals affecting our food supply to negative effect (though thankfully, not nearly as lethal as this episode).
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: In the episode with [[Haley Joel Osmont]], when Walker talks to him about spirits, Haley replies "You mean like ghosts and stuff?" This episode aired two years before [[The Sixth Sense|Haley saw dead people.]]
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Starting around Season 6. The ''Brainchild'' episode in particular seemed like it had been written for some '80s Disney flick.
** If one looked at the earlier seasons of Walker it resembles close to a gritty cop show than the later seasons which are more tonned down and cartoony in comparison.
