Reno 911! - Season 1
This story tells about a comedy of a different kind, where the series carries many powerful criminal events. The series begins with a vague look at what is happening behind the scenes in Reno and what the Nevada police do. Renault's seven supervisors themselves offer the new imaging crew who are filming all their movements. We see how each step in fact is horribly, and perhaps those events are more exciting and fun.

It's hilarious stuff for grown-up viewers who prefer their satire droll and dark, but it's not meant for kids.September 12, 2018
The tone: deadpan with burps of sheer nuttiness.July 23, 2003
The wit in Reno 911! is not in the Mad magazine plots but in the sustained deadpan mockery of Fox's long-running Cops and other shows that follow police officers as they respond to calls from trailer parks, apartment buildings and strip malls.September 05, 2003
As this series has evolved, its format has proven remarkably expansive and emotionally rich, using parodic elements to explore these characters and place them precisely in a social environment.September 12, 2018
The show is difficult to describe because what carries it is not the specific jokes, but the charisma and reactivity of the actors, who play off each other with so much zeal it's impossible not to fall in love with them.September 12, 2018
when it hits its high marks it does raise belly laughs, providing that you allow yourself to be sucked in to this over-the-top world of freaks and larger-than-life characters.July 18, 0003
This brand of humor can be an acquired taste, but fans with a tolerance for out-there buffoonery will want to make the trip to Reno.July 02, 2018
Of course, timing is everything in comedy. And Reno 911! - a faux reality show - came along at a particularly good time.September 12, 2018
So aggressive is RENO 911!'s low-budget affect that Cops looks positively polished by comparison... Here, jokes fall into dead space or turn bizarre, and characters are mostly conventional types.
