Today’s All-Pilot Project features two shows that sound like we just made them up as some sort of prank. I assure you, they are real.
Homeland Security USA
Wednesday 8 PM, ABC
The Premise: It’s a documentary series about Homeland Security and the Border Patrol. So, it’s like COPS, only with more forged passports and fewer dudes in wifebeaters.
The Personnel: The brave men and women of US Customs!
The Poop: OK, we’ve all sat down and watched COPS. Nobody wants to admit to it, but sometimes you just want to see some dope explain why there’s a crack pipe in his car. There’s just something about stupid people getting in trouble that is entertaining on a very basic level.
