Armed and Famous anyone?

I know, it's hard to get Mercedes owners to admit they even WATCH the boob tube much less something like a reality show.

When i saw the previews to this show i thought it was going to be stupid. I've changed my mind after watching it. LaToya in particular has been awesome as a police officer, despite her eccentricities.

Am I the only one here enjoying this TV show?

I was trying to decide the other night, while watching this show, if it would be more humiliating to be arrested by LaToya or Ponch. I didn't reach a decision. It is clear, however, that LaToya buys her noses from the same guy that does Michael's. Damn, that is a bad nose job.

Haven't seen it -- might catch it once. Does seem to make a mockery of law enforcement somehow.

I agree. If even actors can be cops, then ....
What if a celeb were injured while acting at being a cop?
What if a real cop were injured while protecting a celeb?
Real stupid in concept.
Have not watched.
Will not watch

Yup, it's an accident waiting to happen.

I have mixed feelings about the "catch a predator" series as well though that probably does some good.

I dunno, the entrapment stuff seems a bit dicey.

Doesnt seem like the best Idea, but I saw the first episode and it was better than I thought it would be.

First and foremost, I believe they are required to pass the academy course. IOW, they are qualified to be cops.

Tough. Too bad. You took the risks like any other deputized officer
Cop should treat a celeb like any other graduate of the academy. No more, no less.

Sheepishly admitting I watched it for a bit and could not believe LaToya had a nose just like her brother...I liked the midget cop he was good.
