Glad to see you recapped this one. It's worth a second look tonite. It kinda has that "COPS" feel to it in a way.

I tuned in expecting to see something completely horrendous and I didn't. It was as if the fact that they were going to "Protect and Serve" made them want to do their best.
Love the fact that lots of the good citizens turned out to watch the Graduation ceremony - hell, I would have.
Book 'em Estrada!

I want to be just like Ponch when I grow up. Teeth-wise, that is.

B-side's been busy on another website's boards tonight, too.

Of course now that it has your seal of approval, I'm going to have to start to Tivo it now.

-The only thing that made this noteworthy was that the punching victim had strange, deformed hands that looked kind of like talons. Jack described them as "crab hands,"-

have you not watched Niptuck?

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU B-SIDE!!!!
I was hoping someone was going to recap the most craptastic show EVER.
"LaToya demanded that he step out, and in her soft, sweet voice (that was not unlike that one woman from Police Academy), she politely arrested him."
It was then too that I knew love for this show. I am impressed with both the "celebs" and the producers. Yay, rich people with guns!!!!

I attempted to watch this last night but didn't find it interesting. I must mention, however, that seeing LaToya refering to herself as a character on this show was pretty funny.

I watched it on mute while talking to a friend, who was also watching on mute- which might have made this show even better because at one point it looked as though they were just busting into houses and arresting the drunkest person around. If they were arresting people for being drunk in the privacy of their own homes, or private drunkenness as I like to call it then this really is the best show on television. - but something tells me I missed something with the whole mute thing.

This show is really fun and entertaining! I am glad they all take it so seriously, I am sick of these reality shows where the Celebs have a "job" of some sort and fuck it all up.

I just hope, hope, hope, hope, hope none of these arrests or crimes are somehow staged or set-up by production because that would really suck!

The one I am most surprised by is Latoya. She's actually pretty endearing. And the phone call to her brother was the most Bizzarro thing EVER! "You didn't tell Mother, Jermaine, Tito, Michael?????"

All in all I LOVE this show already, and if anyone missed it you can see full eps on CBS.com

You didn't recap Trish's assignment. Did she not have one, or was it just completely boring?

I'm from Muncie and let me tell you, some of the people here have completely FREAKED OUT about the show. They've done nothing but whine and complain. Me? I was pretty stoked that I might run into Erik Estrada, for I loved him when I was 9 and he was on CHiPs!

I was already excited about the show, pretty much just because it was shot in Muncie. I am really impressed at how the producers have approached the whole thing.

While the celebs were still in town, all reports I heard were of the celebs taking the job very seriously. (Of course, Estrada got reprimanded for getting into a screaming match with someone he arrested and Wee Man got in a bit of trouble for singing over the police radio.)

So far, all reports are that nothing was staged as far as cases go.

I think it's some of the best, worst and cheesiest "reality" on tv and I am happy it's being recapped here! I love TVGASM!

I have been known to ask for a finger bowl in a restaurant, if they've served me a dish when I have to peel my own prawns, crack my own crab or lobster.

It's just a bowl with some warm water in it and, usually, also a thoughtfully placed slice of lemon.

Essential.

What, no mention of Ponch farting? I laughed so hard when that happened, especially when he didn't even try to cover it up--it was, "man, he forced the air right out of me!"
