("a world away from Hollywood," the voiceover helpfully explains), where they undergo training to become police officers I can say that the casting is masterful.</font></font>

<p>From what I saw in the commercials it looked like they didn't get out of training. I hope I'm wrong because it would be hilarious to get pulled over by Estrada, especially if they send him out on a bike.</p>

<span><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">So am I guys, I can’t wait to watch Armed and Famous tonight. Have you seen this video </font></span><a href="http://mail.intelliminds.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=31c9ec79e726ac2ef858b493cf9d87d7.1577606% 26fr=yvmtf" title="http://mail.intelliminds.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=31c9ec79e726ac2ef858b493cf9d87d7.1577606% 26fr=yvmtf"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=31c9ec79e726ac2ef858b493cf9d87d7.1577606& fr=yvmtf</font></a><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman"> ? It was so hilarious, funny as hell. I can’t believe that the older sister of Janet is part of the cast of a new celebreality show where they train to be police officers and actually go out to serve and protect. Well, nobody knows what will happen to her on the show. <span></span></font></font>

Is this a publicity pop-up add for the show or was this thread started by a real person?

<p>This person is a masterful spammer. There are several posts like this, but he/she covers by posting some regular stuff, too. Bavo!</p>

<span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana">Hahahahaha! That was funny AJ, I saw that part when Erik farts on a real police officer. It is funny but kind of embarrassing. But what’s a lot funnier was the one that happened on the second episode. He </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana">was sitting in the car with his partner and an old lady approached them and asked Erik to sign her boob, a fake one. Erik signs it and gives it back to the old lady and jokes with his partner.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana"></span>

<p>Trish Stratus is really a tough chick! I was amazed at some of the shit that happened to her and she just asked for more.</p><p>It's kinda funny to see Latoya and her partner responding to calls because it's supposed to be like they are out on thier own but when the big guy they arrested for a warrant (who threw his crack pipe back in the house) got out of hand you could see a male officer come into the picture ready to assist them if it went too far. I guess it's nice to see that there are precautions being made for these 'celebrities' but I'd guess a real female officer doesn't have the reassurance of a big male cop standing there just in case.</p><p>You could see Eric Estrada almost reliving his CHiPs glory days with the gleam he had on his face. </p><p>All in all I was pretty entertained by the show.</p><p> </p>

Trish is hardcore! I mean, I expected she would take the taser better than anyone else. I think She's the most believable of the bunch as a police officer. Did you see last night's episode? The part where she goes on the call with that dancing, pool-cue waving old crazy was truly great. She's like "we have to treat everyone with respect" and she did, I loved it. She just seems so confident.
