Why Armed and Famous is This Seasons New Hit Show.

The idea is simple. Take celebrities like Jack Osbourne, Erik Estrada, and Wee Man from MTV's Jackass, and turn them into real world cops. They must endure things like real world traffic stops, and being shot with a taser gun. They will have to learn everything that real cops learn. Things include hand to hand combat and firing real guns. At the end of their intense training, they will be issued badges and firearms. The last two celebrities involved in the new show are Trish Stratus, seven time WWE world champion wrestler, and singer La Toya Jackson.

Who would hire these people you ask? Police officers in Muncie, Indiana will take up of the task of training this cast of cadets. Look for plenty of funny moments, including Wee Man taking down criminals, and Erik Estrada finding a 75-year old woman selling crack cocaine out of her house. There are countless moments where it is impossible not to laugh. But there is a serious side to the show. On her first day on the job, wrestler Trish Stratus encounters a family in which their Christmas tree lit on fire and burnt up most of their house. When Stratus arrived on the scene, she was to play crisis counselor and help the family realize that their possessions can be replaced, and to be happy that there family was all still alive.

To all of these celebrities this is not just some simple game in which there are no consequences. This is real life; these are real criminals, and real situations. There is real danger and at any moment something could go seriously wrong. The best part of the show is seeing these ridiculous celebrities try there best to become real hard-nosed cops.

The show is just plain hilarious. The more you watch, the more you want to see. It is so hard to describe seeing La Toya Jackson firing a gun at a firing range. This show also leaves the possibility for many seasons to follow. Imagine people like Paris Hilton or Jessica Simpson doing one of these shows in the future. The best part is that it is on CBS and can be watched by almost anyone who owns a television. If you enjoy reality shows, this is a promising show for you to get involved with. The show first airs on CBS starting January 10, 2007.
