This show is a laugh riot, It follows the exploits of a group of Sheriff's deputies on they're beats and on calls. like a parody of "Cops" this show has it all. drunk hicks and stoned losers. If you like this show I highly recommend you go to the video store and rent "Broken lizard's Super Troopers" it's like Reno 911! on the big screen.
This quickly became one of my favorite shows. The similarity to "Cops" is humorous. The realistic actions and reactions to situations is so far from what you'd expect that all you can do is laugh as they make a farse of law enforcement. Watch this show, again and again. It's too funny not to. Don't listen to those who watched it for 15 minutes and gave up.
This has to be the craziest comedy there is. Moreover, it is good fun. I eagerly anticipated another show from the bunch that brought us "The State" and "Viva Variety." Finally, the talent is back! Each week we get to follow members of the Reno Sheriff department as they investigate every weird kind of crime there is. However, it is the officers themselves that are the most deranged individuals out there. From the obviously gay Dangle to the equally worthless Junior. One of the great things is that each character is given a detailed and unique persona. Some are stupid, some are jerks, all are funny. These are outstanding improvs being given the freedom and comedic vehicle to be at their best. I eagerly await each new episode and will buy the DVD the day it is released. BRILLIANT!
And like that the six seasons of Reno 911! and it's spinoff movie are over and I'm a combination of saddened and relieved.
Saddened because it's a great show, relieved because the final season felt like a chore and really wasn't on par with the rest.
Now for those unfamiliar Reno 911! is a mockumentary show about the Reno police department which is made up of hilarious inept characters and the chaos that transpires during their job.
The trouble with Reno 911! is that it's quick fire dry humour, and though most jokes hit the mark (Many firmly so) a lot fail thoroughly as well and that's what prevented the show from being truly legendary. Had it been more consistent it would have easily been one of my favorite shows of all time.
Led by the excellent and criminally underappreciated Thomas Lennon the cast is on point until the final season when they suddenly replaced two cast members with a pair that simply didn't gel very well and damaged the final season.
Slapstick, silly and often satirical Reno 911! is a solid comedy show I would recommend to anyone and everyone under the appreciation that many jokes fall flatter than a dry fart.
Reno 911! You shall be missed, fantastic show.
The Good:
Excellent cats
Hilarious for the most part
The Bad:
No finale
Last season doesn't deliver
New characters fail to entertain
Things I Learnt From This Show:
At some point they ran out of ideas but chose to carry on anyway
Thomas Lennon needs more movie work

Reno 911 is a partially unscripted comedy in the form of the show cops. It gives you an inside look documentary style of the Reno police force. It's one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. It's one of the rare comedies where every season is just as funny as the others. It just remains as clever and funny in every episode of every season. It's the definition of a cult hit show. It's actually so popular that after the series ended in 2009 they brought it back in 2022 and people still love it. The show is still just as funny watching as reruns as when they first came out! You can rewatch it as many times as you want and it'll remain funny to you. If you haven't yet seen this incredibly funny show then do yourself a favor and go watch as soon as possible!
