New Reality Show Answers Burning Question, "Is Steven Seagal Still Alive?"
Tuesday, November 25, 2008 at 10:57AM
I remember when people used to channel surf past A & E
because it was too artsy. Now, people are likely to blow right by it for the
exact opposite reason. The network what brung you Intervention, Dog the
Bounty Hunter, and The Coreys is embarking on
a new reality series
called Steven Seagal: Lawman.
Steven Seagal is apparently a certified, badge-wearing officer o' the law (if you choose to believe anything he says), and he claims he has been one for a long time. "I've been working as an officer in Jefferson Parish for two decades under most people's radar," announced Seagal, likely without any detectible emotion. "I've decided to work with A&E on this series now because I believe it's important to show the nation all the positive work being accomplished here in Louisiana -- to see the passion and commitment that comes from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office in this post-Katrina environment."
Good for him for being a part of that, seriously, don't you wish there was someone else up to the task. Just think about it: Steven Seagal and A & E. In the words of John Turturro from O Brother Where Art Thou, "That don't make no sense!"
"Steven is a hero both on and off camera and helps fight crime because he cares about the community," said A & E's Robert Sharenow, adding, "It's such an amazing revelation that this larger-than-life star has been doing real police work for nearly 20 years." Yes. Or Steven Seagal.
Still, I guess it's better than Seagal recording another album: That's right, he's been playing the blues since he was five years old. And mojo is an acronym.

Oh brother. How bad is that video. Maybe he could start a band with Bruce Willis, Keanu Reeves and Kevin Bacon...if they're lucky....maybe the could open for Joaquin Phoenix.
Steven Seagal has become one step closer to appearing on Celebrity Fit Club and/or having his own dating show where desperate women fight over him only to dissappointed that the main prize is Seagal.
Well, least being a cop will give Seagal some excercise and we wont see him wearing a long leather jacket in the New Orlean's hot sun? Besides, watching Seagal's films on DVD will there be added light, will Seagal do his own walking and talking?
For his sake I hope not but for our laughter I hope so.
