CBS has really outdone itself this time.
Armed and Famous, a reality show that will have no winner (except you, the audience!), shows us quasi-celebrities are trained to become cops. Or something like that. These "stars" are transported to Muncie, Indiana to undergo police training. Hilarity ensues.
To be fair, the advance word from critics on
Armed and Famous has been surprisingly positive. At best, we can hope for an enjoyable hour where the celebrities involved don't take themselves too seriously. The premise is admittedly ridiculous, but as long as it pokes fun at the
Cops formula, the potential is there. Here's a look at the five celebrities taking part in
Armed and Famous.
