Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

MovieAddict2016 I hate reality TV so it's great to see Comedy Central satirizing the trend. Essentially this show is about the Reno Police Force and their consistent misadventures.The show features at least one blurred naked body per episode and uses a few running gags, but for the most part it's totally unpredictable and very, very funny.The show follows the cops as they go around stopping crimes and helping the public. It's kind of random - like the show "COPS" - and will jump from one segment to the next even if they're unrelated to each other.The cast is great because they never let on that it's a comedy. They each have their trademark - the guy who wears shorty-shorts, the busty blonde bimbo, the minority figure, etc.The show regularly features performers Cedric Yarbrough, Niecy Nash, Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon and Carlos Alazraqui (who supposedly flubs up the most takes by laughing) - as well as a host of regular guests or cameo performers.Overall this is simply one of the funniest and most irreverent shows on television, and it's quite a surprise to see it on Comedy Central, because they're typically known for having quite lousy shows. ("South Park," "Dave Chappelle" and "Reno" are about the only three original Comedy Central shows - currently airing - that I watch.)

deaniac1-1 I was so excited when I heard about this show. I was an avid "The State" fan, and I really missed them. Whenever I heard someone yelling about putting balls in something, I would get a pang of times lost. Suffice it to say, I managed to stay home from work, just to watch the first episode. It was worth it. I don't think I even stopped laughing until the end of the show. Everything these guys touch just goes to pot(sometimes literally). And though all the characters are totally flawed and possibly dangerous to themselves and others, you really can't help but feel a little sorry for them. I still wouldn't want to have them around trying to keep the peace, or some semblance of it.... If you don't watch it now, catch up! You'll love yourself for it. Go Reno!

movieman_kev Reno 911, is for all extents and purposes a sketch show under the guise of a "Cops" parody, with documentarians following around the keystonian cops of Reno, Nevada. Sure there are plot lines, but they're rather loose. Why didn't I review the first season? Well quite frankly, I found the second season to click more for me, funnier, and the whole DVD package is just better all around. This season has the whole milkshake incident, Trudy (Kerri Silver) finding someone to love, whom turns out to be a murderer, the squad 'protecting' Kenny Rogers, among other misadventures. And while it's not the best comedy currently on TV (that honor goes to "Arrested Development", "Curb your Enthusiasm", or "Scrubs"). And not the best comedy on Comedy Central (I like "Chappele's Show", and "South Park" more). But this show can be pretty funny sometimes too.My Grade: B- DVD Extras: Disc 1) Comedy Central quickies for "Drawn Together", "Chapelle's Show" & "South Park"; Trailers for "Chapelle's Show" Season 2, "Crank Yankers" Season 2 Volume 1, and "South Park" Season 5. Disc 2) Commentaries on episodes 10 (by Cedric Yarbrough & Niecy Nash), 11 (by Wendi Covey and Carlos Alazraqui), and 14 (Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant). Disc 3) Commantary on Show 16 by Kerri Silver and Director, Micheal Jan); Drug Arrestment Seminer skit from HBO's 2004 US Comedy Arts Festival in 2 parts (42 minutes in total); 13 Deleted/Alternative scenes equaling 89 minutes in all 4 Easter Eggs: on Disc 1, highlight a part of the walkie-talker for 7 minutes of Outtakes of a commercial for the Season 1 DVD; On Disc two there's a hidden question mark to the right of "Episode 14", highlight & click on it for 6 minutes of Reno 911 merchandise hawking; On Disc 5 highlight the O in "RenO" on the main page for some cast members re-dubbing episode 15 ; and in the extras page highlight Lieutenant Dangle shorts for some cast members re-dubbing episode 16

knsevy 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.
