Reality TV > Production Starts on Armed and Famous
November 29, 2006
Via Coming Soon:
Production has begun on the CBS reality series "Armed and Famous," which follows five "celebrities" as they train to become police officers in Muncie, Ind.
Erik Estrada -- who played a freeway patrolman on "CHiPs" -- is undergoing police training with singer La Toya Jackson, son-of-Ozzy Jack Osbourne, pro wrestler Trish Stratus and "Jackass" star Jason Acuna (aka Wee Man).
"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" alum Tom Forman is behind the show, which he'll executive produce along with Jeffrey Kramer and Michael Braverman (who created the show). Tom Forman Productions and Magic Molehill Productions are behind "Armed and Famous."
"Armed and Famous" will follow the five stars as they experience the same training police reserve officers go through, followed by graduation. After that, the celebs will go on patrol (while carrying guns) with the same training officers who traditionally ride with rookies.
