They are consistently funny. They have mastered the art of lampooning.

As an entire cast probably Arrested Development and/or CYE top them. But for pure satire these guys take the cake. I think the better actors are the ones they they have to go arrest and visit. Like the plot about Trudie's boyfriend.

I know the show has its fans, and I even used to be a big follower of the State, but I fail to see the appeal of Reno 911. Even when you get passed the idea of a Cops parody, which is extremely weak to begin with, the characters they portray just are not very interesting (or funny). IMHO of course.

Yeah, I had to do a doubletake. That first shot of him, I was like, "is that...?"SKluck said:The "preview" of next season is hilarious. Wayne Brady.
I think I missed the season premiere of the second season, but if I recall they just pretended the cliffhanger from the last season was a dream, right?
Funny show, hopefully there's a third season, although I'd be highly surprised if there weren't.

It has become my current favorite comedy. The whole comedy central channel is gold, jerry, gold!!
My friend flipped to this show last night and explained to me that he doesn't understand why the show is still on. Apparently, he's watched it a fair share of times and said that it's so un-funny and he keeps watching to see if it ever gets funny. It hasn't for him.
After I saw it last night, I'd have to concur. It's so stupid. I honestly didn't think it had any fans.

Except for Crank Yankers, Crossballs, The Graham Norton Effect, Trigger Happy TV, I'm With Busey, Kid Notorious, everything involving the Blue Comedy Tour guys, the constant reruns of MadTV, and I'm sure a few others that I've missed that are either airing now or were tried in recent memory.CaptainABAB said:

Crank Yankers - hit and miss to me (more miss now). I know I can't do a whole 30 of it.
Crossballs - good but, it's got a limited run. It's good in spurts kinda like Punkd.
I've reserved a special place in hell for Graham Norton. He is funny on Tough Crowd (when TC is funny) but, not by himself. His show is the bane of CC
I'm with Busey - Pure insanity
Kid Notorious - Funnyish when it hit it HIT. It was too inside Hollywood for me but, when they did stuff with forgien leaders that was always funny.
I don't watch BCT guys or MadTV

There were a bunch of stars imitating the originals.
Wiegel = Sean Young
Dangle = Martin Mull
Jones = Wayne Brady
Johnson = (Tracy Bingham I think)
Williams = (another playmate I can't remember)
I don't remember who played the Garcia and Junior replacements.
That was a cool ending. I loved how they pulled up and one of the replacements said something like, "Orange is a lovely shade of bitch". LOL
Sounds like a lot of Simpsons whiners here.

Reno 911 is genius. I get some great chuckles out of it.

If you consider yourself a fan of The State or Reno 911, or have seen Wet Hot American Summer, do yourself and watch some of these shorts:

Yeah, I was a fan of The State. My favorite skit was probably Louie and his balls, or Doug. :lol Reno911 is awesome too, I love it. They're not really changing the cast, are they? I hope not, I think the cast rocks the way it is. Who the hell is gonna replace Dangle? He's the funniest character on the show. And I loved Jonesey's line last night, "First OJ, then Kobe and not Jones-ay." :lol PEACE.

Brilliant show. I didn't "get it" the first few times I channel-skipped through it, but once I watched an entire episode I fell in love.
The best part of the show for me, besides the hilarious scenarios and improv'd dialogue (I think they improvise at least??) is that the characters on the show are fleshed out in subtle ways. So many goddamn shows spoonfeed things to the audience, but the creators of Reno put in little touches like that last shot of the blonde hiding her feelings for Garcia in the episode where they were banging or the lingering uncomfortable silence between Weigel and her incarcerated boyfriend.
