What Parents Need to Know
About Armed & Famous
Parents need to know that this "celebreality" series puts C-list celebs in real police situations like pulling over an intoxicated driver, arresting an elderly woman for drug dealing, physically restraining an alleged criminal, and comforting a family whose house just burned down. These scenarios can be intensely sad, disturbing, and sometimes frightening but are almost always brief. Celebrity cops handle real evidence, such as crack pipes and a bloody knife. The celebrities carry loaded guns, which they handle responsibly, though definitely with enthusiasm. One scene shows the celebs being trained in the use of tasers, and viewers see them being painfully zapped in the process. One celebrity acts like a ladies man and flirts frequently, posing for photos with busty female fans.

Surprisingly Great Show
I hate reality TV and this show totally changed my mind. It has heart, intelligence and I LOVE seeing the celebrities FORCED to be real people. Makes me feel as though they might just have something in common with us common folk. LaToya is a huge surprise. The cop with her is really funny. jack Osbourne could actually do the job - which is very cool. I'd like to know who will be in next season's cast. Will they keep the same cops? Or do we get to vote on who should become a reserve cop, next?

Not nearly as bad as everyone made it out to be - in a good way!
Leading up to the premiere of the show tonight 1/10, all I heard were people complaining about the stars and what they were doing. When I sat down to watch the show I didn't know what to expect - but I looked at it with an open mind. I laughed, I cringed, I smiled - something about this show had a happy medium of everything a good show should, even if it is a reality show. It showed how they trained, how they handle situations, and yet how important team work is. With the first episode done I'm already finding myself wanting to see more of these celebs and their adventures as members of the police force.
