Armed and Famous

[SID210SA]

Has anyone seen it....I think its a great show....you can watch both episodes here... http://www.cbs.com/primetime/armed_and_famous/

I too have seen both episodes. You have to wonder what is the Muncie, Ind. police department getting out of this? They send five "B" list celebs to academy for three weeks and then put guns in their hands? Just another train wreck you can't turn away from.

[SID210SA]

Any one else have any thoughts on the show?

I like when the woman cop with Jackson gets the guy all agitated before she handcuffs him, and the guys standing in the wings have to step in to take control

IMO three weeks training is hardly enough. The incidents were probably staged IMO.

[RCSignals]

I don't know that they are staged, but one has to wonder.

They certainly aren't let out on their own, and don't drive.

why do all the policewomen shown wear their hair down? You'd think that would be a liability.

I am sorry to say that none of that is staged:( Muncie has been all over the news for the past few weeks because of this show. Muncie is home to Ball State University(David Letterman's alma mater) and is really not too bad of a town. I, for one, would have been very embarassed to have my town air its dirty laundry before a national audience. All the citizens that appear on that show have signed waivers to allow their faces to be shown and were given t-shirts. I just wish that program would go away!!

[RCSignals]

at least they got the t-shirt :bandit:
