Armed & Famous is a reality television series that premiered January 10, 2007, on CBS. First-run episodes were also aired on VH1 in the United States. The show was pulled from the network on January 26, 2007 and the remaining episodes will possibly be aired on VH1.
The series follows five celebrities as they train to become reserve police officers for the Muncie, Indiana, police department, followed by graduation. After that, the 'celebrities' will go on patrol with the same training officers who traditionally ride with new officers.
The series stars Erik Estrada, La Toya Jackson, Jack Osbourne, Trish Stratus, and Jason Acuña (a.k.a. "Wee Man" on Jackass).
On December 5, 2006, the 'celebrities' were officially sworn in as reserve officers.[1]
Several Muncie locations have been shown to appear as if they were police facilities, such as what was said to be the Muncie Police Training Academy. In reality, the outside of the building was Muncie Central High School, while the inside was Central's wrestling room. [citation needed]

I have no idea. I watched the first two episodes and thought it was a great show. I kept on forgetting when it was going to be on again. I watch Beaty and the Geeks at 8est Wednesday nights on CW so I guess thats when that show airs on CBS. I hope that show does get picked up again cause I did like it. It would be cool if VH1 airs it. :D
