  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Eagleheart is an Adult Swim program that parodies aspects of Walker, Texas Ranger, produced by Conan O'Brien's production company, Conaco.

David Letterman favorite Chris Elliott plays Chris Monsanto, arguably the best and most reckless Ranger in the service. He's backed up by Brett Mobley (Brett Gelman) and Susie Wagner, (Maria Thayer, best known as Jerri's friend on Strangers with Candy), all under the supervision of Da Chief (Michael Gladis of Mad Men). Chris faces off against drug dealers, dirigible captains, pumas, bank robbers, and more, all with a peculiar kind of lazy violence.

Tropes used in Eagleheart include:
  • Clueless Deputy: Brett, to the point where's used as a club instead of as a deputy.
  • Curb Stomp Battle: Many battle end this way due to Chris's killer punch ability and willingness to fight dirty.
  • Dead Partner: Played with in the pilot.
  • Den of Iniquity: A bizarre bylaw makes it legal to do anything in the sky. Everything goes, up to and including murder. Naturally, a crime baron sets up a blimp as his base of operations where every type of crime is indulged and encouraged (except smoking, because of the hydrogen)
  • Fiery Redhead: Susie
  • Finger-Poke of Doom: Chris's super-punch turns enemies into goo.
  • Gainax Ending: The last few seconds of "Me Llamo Justice". Considering that the episode involved people made entirely of cocaine, this says a lot.
  • Only Sane Woman: Susie, though she has a tendency to fall for obviously evil men.
  • Refuge in Audacity: All over the place.
  • The Danza: Chris Elliott as Chris Monsanto, and Brett Gelman as Brett Mobley.
  • Thrown From the Zeppelin: The conclusion of "Master of Da'Skies."
  • Vice City: A loophole in the law allows criminals to act with impunity... as long as they're in the sky.
    • ... leading the episode's crime baron to set up a Den of Iniquity as a giant crime blimp where everything goes and sky-crime is encouraged. Except Smoking.
  • US Marshal
  • Younger Than He Looks: Subverted with the Chief; Gladis' makeup is too ridiculous for anyone to believe he's actually old.
