When I was in elementary school, one of my favorite Saturday morning Westerns was Tales of the Texas Rangers. Among the intriguing aspects of the show was that Rangers depicted were sometimes involved in adventures in the Frontier era Texas and sometimes in modern law enforcement. There were other Texas Rangers TV shows over the years, and I usually caught a few episodes. At one point Walker, Texas Ranger was on when I was on the treadmill, so I watched some episodes.
