Summary: Hilarious before it wears thin
Review: This scathingly funny, over the top, and sometimes too over the top for it's own good, show is one of the freshest programs to hit Comedy Central in the wake of all the new shows premiering on the network over the past few years. Reno 911 basically satires Cops, following the misadventures of the inept Reno sherrif's department as they perform drug busts, perform charity work, arrest criminals, and screw up a lot. Led by Lieutenant Dangle (Thomas Lennon) in his pair of incredibly short shorts, Reno 911 is something you have to see to be believed. It's premise does wear thin after a while, but the characters and actors keep the show going full steam ahead, especially Kerri Kenney-Silver as the somewhat mentally challenged Weigel who ends up being the butt of everyone's jokes. All in all, the first season of Reno 911 is solid comedy, but the show really became something special in it's second season which hopefully will be available on DVD soon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Laugh yourself sore
Review: This show is so funny--love it! The only annoying thing is the theme music. The commentaries don't add much, but all you need are the episodes themselves.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: one of the funniest shows
Review: this shows pretty much just a funny spoof of cops. For example after weigel's(sp?) accident, that looks like a suicide and its and hows she plays the suicide angle is very funny. When one of the cops (i don't know the name off-hand, I just know is was one of the guys) takes some kids on a tour of the station is very funny, and others that are just two many to mention (...)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious
Review: Until the DVD came out, I'd never seen Reno. It is hilarious. It took a few episodes to get 'hooked', but now I can't wait for Season 2 to come to DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: RENO 911 One of the funniest shows on tv
Review: What a great show. Reno 911 is simply hilarious. You have a bunch of misfit cops who can't even manage their on life trying to protect the city from wrong doers. If you havn't seen the show on comedy central i suggest you make time and watch it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cauterized
Review: What a show. I cry laughing at one point during every episode. They better keep this one around for a long time. The casting is flawless... there's no dead weight. I can not WAIT for this DVD.

I'm a big fan of Arrested Development, Seinfeld, The Office, CYE, Conan O'Brien, Chappelle Show, In Living Color, Mr. Show, The Larry Sanders Show... if you like this kind of comedy, you'll dig Reno 911!
