the best show on tv., Jun 22 2004
This review is from: Reno 911! Season 1 (DVD)
reno 911! is the best show on tv. network, cable, pay cable, you name it, this show is the only comedy show that keeps me laughing throughout an entire episode. many may say it sounds too gimmicky, having the lieutenant wear short shorts, having a short-haired woman that is the butt of all the jokes, an ex-stripper, a trailerpark living redneck, and other odd characters that join into the mix. but the funny this is - it works. the show is all improv, or at most they all follow a loose script. i have to admit that i had never seen any of the first season episodes, but began watching when the second season rolled around and couldn't believe the kind of show i had been missing. i picked this dvd up the first day it went on sale and could not have been happier with my purchase. the show is an absolute riot. you will not be disappointed!

Bad Boys Bad Boys - What ya gonna do?, July 2 2004
This review is from: Reno 911! Season 1 (DVD)
RENO 911 is a hilarious spoof of COPS. Set in Reno it follows a rag tag group of inept police officers as they fumble and fall all over the place! It's a lot of fun, and surprisingly well done. Each episode is about 20 minutes of the whackiest footage you will see - shot on video exactly like COPS. My favorite character has to be Lt. Dangle with his "Daisy Duke" shorts and penchant for going undercover as a female prostitute (on his day off!). Amazingly all the lead actors play both the cops and the criminals for the most part! A wig and a well placed blur usually means someone in the cast is pulling double duty. It's like COPS meets SPINAL TAP! But surprisingly as the stories develop you grow to love this group of enforcement misfits! The DVD set shows you all of season one's episodes in order! Which is a great bonus since they aired somewhat out of order on Comedy Central initially. You noticed this the most with Clementine as her pregnancy didn't unfold in the correctly in the original airings. You get commentaries from the cast on the episodes - including some truly funny "hidden" commentaries which can be found by highlighting the push pins on the photos in the menus. It's a great set for a great show!

Great DVD's!!, Jan 5 2011
This review is from: Reno 911! Season 1 (DVD)
All of the RENO911 DVD series are great! No bleeping like when you are watching on TV or the internet. All the funny lines right up front. The commentary is nice to hear too, how they made the show etc. Highly recommend this
