Though the success for Steven Seagal’s new reality show, “Steven Seagal: Lawman,” has been great, the concept is actually an off-shoot of previous ideas that A&E had for the show but failed.

If you have never seen Steven Seagal: Lawman, just picture Steven Seagal talking about Steven Seagal for thirty minutes (with commercials) and then picture him wearing a uniform while he does it. Steven, who is as much of a cop as Shaq is, gets to ride around Orleans Parrish with the police brass, show up dead last to every call and still gets to be the guy who puts the cuffs on the perp. All the while, Steven teaches us valuable life lessons by talking about how experienced and great he is at everything that he has ever done.
