Armed & Famous

And I thought "Rescue Me" gave firefighters a bad rap. This show doesn't seem poised to shed a positive light on Law Enforcement.

However, I will give this show the benefit of the doubt first. This series looks like it can be quite interesting.

Premieres THIS Wednesday at 8PM on CBS (NY Channel 2)

Through a rumor from a friend who works at CBS development, if this series is succesful, then they are going to try a "firefighter version"

Armed and Famous is the title of a reality television series that will premiere January 10, 2007 on CBS.

The series follows five celebrities as they train to become reserve police officers for the Muncie, Indiana police department, followed by graduation. After that, the celebrities will go on patrol with the same training officers who traditionally ride with new officers.

The series stars Erik Estrada (CHiPs), La Toya Jackson, Jack Osbourne (MTV's "The Osbournes"), Trish Stratus and Jason Acuña (a.k.a. "Wee Man" on Jackass).

On December 5, 2006, the celebrities were officially sworn in as reserve officers

Just saw the show tonight, and I laughed my a$$ off. It didnt make anyone look too bad, but had plenty of laughs.

I must admit, I was pleasantly suprised by the show.

They really skimped on the training footage though- according to blogs about this show, the celebrities did a lot more classroom and other training then they actually showed.

The celebrities, for who they are, acted quite professional.

For those interested, there's another episode airing tonight at 8PM EST on CBS.
