Not to mention he isn't exactly known for being good to women. He has a reputation for domestic abuse-whether true or not, doesn't exactly make an accused abuser respect his authority.

Hell yes I will watch this! How could you not?

I really can't wait to see this show, I have been a fan of his for years. He also want to helps with the environment and pollution of our earth. I believe he is a Good guy, His movies in the past couple of year haven't been great, but I don't see anything wrong with exploring other options.

This is going to be awesome, and I WILL watch it!

Back up the trolley! I thought this was a parody!

I hope Seagal kills or at least break the bones of some arrogant gangbangers. Steven Seagal is so tough, he makes chuck norris cry in his sleep.

I always liked the guy I'm looking forward to watch the show.

@ Zach Oat
After reading your post, I have come to the conclusion that facts mean nothing to you.
So let me give you some facts about Deputy Chief Seagal.
He is a licensed Law Enforcement officer, and has been for 23 years.
He has been a deputy for the Jefferson Parish Sheriffs office for 20 years, he currently holds the title and rank of Deputy Chief!
He has been instrumental in training the Swat team for years.
At 57 years of age, I am positive that he wouldn't break a sweat beat kicking your but.
While having been a licensed law enforcement officer, he has made it a point to stay under the radar screen.
As for your remark about willing to do anything for a buck, he donates more money in one year, than you will make in a life time!
Now I could go on about how many mistakes you made in your uneducated comments, but I hope you get my point.
If you are going to post something such as this, at least try to understand the difference between a Deputy Police man, and a Deputy Sheriff!

i think its a good idea he can put one city in order and then move on to another all ya all haters can hate on but i think hes the hotest in the last 5 yrs

I wonder about a situation where a suspect might not believe (justifiably so?) he is really a police officer. If I didn't know about the "Lawman" show, & was pulled over by ACTOR Steven Seagal along with the film crew, get the idea? I might not believe it, at 1st anyway. I mean, who is gonna pop out & make an arrest, next? Chuck Norris? Will David Caruso be investigating? I could foresee, (& again, justifiably?) an altercation or at least a situation arise over disbelief in Seagal's official status. You know? "Come on man! Get the @&#$ outta here! Steven Seagal! YOU ain't no cop!". A person could very well think it was some reality TV "Candid Camera" or "Punked" type of thing or a practical joke, etc. Then what? Charge them with resisting arrest (of in their minds, an "actor")? Also, there could very likely be at least 1 idiot wanting to "test" Seagal to see how tough he really is. & don't even get me started regarding the implications if even the slightest hint of "excessive force" allegations were filed against him. Or god forbid, worst case scenario, what if there was a situation where he HAD to use his firearm? There are several ways Seagal can help out with law enforcement. Donations, appearances, Public service announcements, etc, or even being a "desk jockey". I don't think being a street cop is in the best interest of public or Steven Seagal.
