Info

This partially unscripted comedy brings viewers into the squad car as incompetent officers swing into action, answering 911 calls about everything from speeding violations and prostitution to staking out a drug den. Within each episode, viewers catch a "fly on the wall" glimpse of the cops' often politically incorrect opinions, ranging from their personal feelings to professional critiques of their colleagues.

Reno 911! Audience Reviews

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
haildevilman This is basically "Cops" done like "Spinal Tap." I wonder if Misters Guest, McKean, and Shearer are proud.It's filmed really well. I imagine someone unfamiliar with it might wonder if it's real or not. That is until one of them shoots a suspect on a shoplifting call because he didn't want to waste time.Dangle's tiny shorts put a few people off it seems. It's not the most attractive look, but then, that's comedy.Travis Junior (Benny's a real Deniro/Taxi Driver fan.) looks like such a stereotypical beat cop. He plays the whole "Step over here for a minute sir" role to the hilt too.And while I like the Williams character, I don't think we need so much fake "L'il Kim" lingo to get humor. And some of the Gay humor seems a bit trite too.But funny? Yes. I discovered this recently and got plenty of laughs. Glad it survived.
xredgarnetx RENO 911 is basically SUPER TROOPERS reworked for TV, much the way the show about the two Southern brothers with the race car, DUKES OF HAZZARD, was a thinly disguised knockoff of SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT. Problem is, SUPER TROOPERS was only sporadically funny and this TV version is even less so. What initially appears to be a sendup of COPS is really nothing of the sort, and as bad as COPS is, it is far more watchable than this. The show also lapses into truly objectionable material in an attempt to provoke laughs. But no laughs are forthcoming. The humor is often crude and lewd, aimed strictly at infantile minds.
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.)
yogibear444-1 This quickly became one of my favorite shows. The similarity to "Cops" is humorous. The realistic actions and reactions to situations is so far from what you'd expect that all you can do is laugh as they make a farse of law enforcement. Watch this show, again and again. It's too funny not to. Don't listen to those who watched it for 15 minutes and gave up.
