Armed and Famous

Is anyone gonna watch this show? It starts tomorrow on CBS. If you don't already know about it, it's Erik Estrada (CHiPs), WeeMan (Jackass), La Toya Jackson, Trish Stratus (WWE), and Jack Osbourne training to be real police officers in Muncie Indiana, and then I guess responding to police calls and stuff. I read about it here: edmontonsun.com - Showbiz: Movies, TV and Theatre - Whoa - actors with real guns - scary It looks like it's either going to be really really good or really really bad, what do you think?

When I saw the preview for this show, I immediately placed it in my mind's "Reality Shows that Never Should Have Happened" section.

I don't think you're right. Of course, I like trashy TV too, so I shouldn't be the example to go by, but this wasn't trashy TV. It actually is an entertaining show, I thought I was just going to like it for camp value, but ended up being surprised by the "reality". This morning at the gym I saw clips from last night's show on three different morning shows, the ratings for last night were excellent. Everyone is calling it a surprise hit. My particular favorite moment was La Toya Jackson asking for a finger bowl at the Texas Roadhouse.
