Reno 911! (2003– )
10/10
Very funny, one of the best shows on television
5 September 2005
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.)
