There have been plenty of TV shows about the FBI and the CIA. Heck, even the Naval Criminal Investigative Service has its own show. So I guess it's about time that the Drug Enforcement Administration has its turn in the limelight.

Spike TV announced today that next month it will debut DEA, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the agency.

This is no made-up drama, either. "Television viewers will get the same unprecedented access to the inner workings of the DEA as our camera crews -- the raids, the risk and the danger," said Al Roker, weatherman at NBC's Today show and DEA's executive producer. "This series is the real deal, exposing elements of illegal drug trade that you could not imagine. When you watch 'DEA,' you will feel like you have gone undercover."

The stars of the show are a group of special agents and task force officers in DEA's Detroit field office.
