Like Cops . . . but better?

I remember once thumbing through a piece on Christopher Reeves that mentioned that for many the tall and athletic actor had become so identified with his most famous role that when his bicycle was once stolen on the streets of New York City and he lept into action, chasing down the thief and catching him, the man blanched white and begged "please don't hurt me Superman!" That was then, this is now - and now we have:


The press release issued by A&E last November when they announced production of the show is a wealth of information on both the project and Seagal himself. For instance, did you know that he was also a "recording artist and guitarist" or that his film Exit Wounds was a "blockbuster hit"? Unfortunately, there is a legal holdup in the actual release of this reality show shangri-la. Hopefully, it can be put to rest soon and the show in all its fourth-wall busting glory can be loosed on us all. How long can it be after that that we get a ride along with Ranger J.J. McQuade?! "Who do tis 'ting" you ask? I reply who else could?!
