Steven Seagal’s movies go straight to video these days, but he’s having better luck with projects intended for the small screen.
“Steven Seagal Lawman,” the new A&E reality series starring the ’80s action icon, premiered last night to “record-breaking” 3.5 million total viewers and 2.0 million viewers adults 18-49 and 25-54 over two back-to-back episodes, according to A&E officials.
That’s good enough to make “Lawman” the most-watched original series launch in the network’s history among all key demos.
Back-to-back new episodes of “Steven Seagal Lawman” air weekly Wednesdays at 10PM and 10:30PM ET/PT.
“Steven Seagal Lawman” shows the aging actor fighting real life crime and training police officers in his martial arts expertise.

I’ve long considered him as an overweight faded icon. Then I watched the show and was blown away by how accurate he is shooting his pistol at a range. I became a believer in his gun skills when he shot the ends off a Q-Tip and a match.
Then, watching him teach some officers a few fighting skills, I was amazed at how quick he still is and figured that he could take any of the young officers in the room. Maybe even two at a time.
Seriously, the guy has some real skills and not just movie skills. Consider me impressed.
I wonder how much post production tinkering was done to make Seagal look so bad ass … I saw his last film and he needed plenty of editing to make him appear menacing.
