Reno 911!

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

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.

As much as 'Cops' just begs for a parody, I'm surprised it took this long for somebody to come up with one. Maybe it's because 'Cops' is kind of a parody of itself; it's so pitifully funny on its own merits that it's hard to spoof.

I read that the show doesn't really follow a tight script; they set up the situation and let the performers ad-lib it. Maybe THAT's why it's actually funny: No Comedy Central 'writers' ruining it.

I don't know how long this show will last - funny as it is, it doesn't seem like the kind of thing that's going to go very far - but I've enjoyed every episode, so far (the Scavenger Hunt and trying to break the microwave oven are my favorites).

Funny. Comedy Central. Original.

For once, that's not an oxymoronic concept.

What more can be said? A spoof of cops and it hits all the right spots. I've actually laughed out loud watching this TV show, and it's been a long time since I've done that. I think the funniest thing is Deputy Garcia and him being and racist and a bigot. I laughed so hard when he was explaining his black eye to the guys he received from Deputy Jones. Saying Halle Berry was half-black and half-pollack and making a reference to programming VCR's was just priceless! Also when the kid on the bike went over the ledge and the deputies high-tailing out of there was just so great! There are so many others but I remember those two scenes best. I just can't wait until it goes to DVD. I'll be buying it as soon as I can!

10 out of 10! A great show and cast!

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!

A mocumentary of the show COPS executed to perfection with fun characters, surreal and hilarious story lines combined with great performances by the main cast. One of the best Comedy Central has ever made right up there with South Park.
