Is it just me, or does this show kick serious ass? I remember seeing the very first episode and not thinking much of it, but by the end of the first season I was totally hooked. And this season actually seems more consistently good (the episodes also seem to be more plot-based, which I don't know if I like or not). It's such a great cast who are just awesome at this kind of partially-non-scripted comedy, which really works well for the theme of the show.

Seriously, this is probably my favorite new Comedy Central show of the last few years, even better than Chappelle's Show (which is much more on-and-off good IMO).


On a side note, Comedy Central's really been doing a lot better than they were a few years ago. I remember back then pretty much all they had was South Park, and even that show was going down the crapper as Matt and Trey were doing nothing but trying to top the previous week's shock humor, and Comedy Central was introducing retarded shows like Battlebots (wtf was that doing on a comedy network?). Now South Park is for the most part back to it's stupidly smart satirical self, Battleshit is gone forever, and CC seems to be putting out new good shows every seasons.......Insomniac, Chappelle's Show, Reno, Crank Yankers, I'm With Busey, Conan reruns, and for a talkshow the Graham Norton Effect actually looks kinda interesting......what would I do without Comedy Central? Okay, enough comedy central pimping.

Btw, anyone know if they're going to be doing anything more with Busey ever?

Crank Yankers has never been and never will be funny. The rest of your post is right on the button though.

Crossballs looks amazing, it's got two of the guys from Upright Citizens Brigade in it (one of them is also the producer).

 

[Guzim]

Reno 911 does kick ass, and I hope I'm With Busey comes back

I've always had a thing for prank phone calls, and some of the ones on Crank are pretty funny. I never even watch it, just listen to it in the background.

And yeah, I've seen stuff on Crossballs and noticed a couple of the people from UCB. That should be interesting. Speaking of which, anyone know if they're making a second UCB DVD?

Reno is one of my MOST TIVO each week shows... I love that show.. absolutely hilarious. The episode that I just watched(the guy was the killer?) was just so over the top at the end....

IIRC Season 1 of Reno came out on DVD Tuesday.

I hope Chappelle's Show comes back.

That episode is a couple weeks old I think. The last one, which I didn't see the beginning of, had some cop from England spend a few days with the Reno squad, and he turns out to be psycho....fuckin hilarious. The very end with the box and the truck nearly had me on the floor.

 

[CrisKre]

I remember one episode of Reno that started with an officer on duty going into a building where the rest of the police officers where all waiting for him to surprise him for his birthday and as he went in they all yelled "SURPRI..." and before they could finish he fired his weapon and one of them was shoot backwards half the room. It was so fucking hillarious I laughed for 10 min. Its been my top CC program since.

Season 2 of UCB on DVD is coming eventually according to the UCB message boards.

I never saw that episode, although that was the scene I saw in the initial commercials that piqued my interest.

 

[Tommie Hu$tle]

That was the first episode. And yes Reno 911 is one of the best of Comedy Central's shows. I'm glad they stuck it out with Tough Crowd but, I'm not pressed about Graham Norton.

 

[human5892]

Reno 911 = awesome show. I admit I'm a complete sucker for pretty much any humor that's not entirely scripted (Spinal Tap, Curb Your Enthusiasm, etc.), but they also do it pretty damn well on that show.

And I also agree that Comedy Central has been building up a really good stable of shows these past few years. My only complaints are MAD TV (seriously, I would've rather kept watching the same SNL reruns than this shit), Crank Yankers (RETARDED PUPPETS CALLING PEOPLE HURM HAR), and Insomniac (I can only watch so many episodes of Dave Attel going into random weird bars). Also, the Graham Norton Effect looks terrible. Other than that, they're all in a range of decent to excellent.

Oh yeah, and bring back new episodes of Strangers With Candy! Please!

 

[levious]

she's a three bagger, one for her head, one for your head, and one for anyone who god forbid might be looking in through the window

 

[demon]

SNL in its prime was definitely better than MadTV, but I think I got totally burnt out on SNL reruns after watching them from (what was it) 1-3 *every single night* for three years straight. The occassional MadTV skit with Will Sasso is worth it.

 

[DarienA]

I also really like that Reno always opens up with something crazy going on in the squad car... either an accident or in the case of the episode I saw(and you couldn't tell at first), they were actually flipped over in the squad car. :lol

 

[KingGondo]

Oh yeah, and bring back new episodes of Strangers With Candy! Please!

I doubt that'll happen, but I would expect a DVD release sometime soon.

Wow, cool. Thanks for the info.

Demon: I agree with you there, Will Sasso can be pretty funny on occasion.

I've never seen the show before (whenever I saw it on TV, I thought it was just a COPS show for Toronto), but I caught the latter half of an episode a few days ago and it was really, really funny.

Where does the show take place?

durrrrrrr......Reno Nevada.

 

[Willco]

My favorite episode is when the black guy is demoted to crossing guard after he beat the shit out of one of the cops who made a racial joke. And he loves the gig! Every other clip is him flirting with moms, teachers and schoolgirls.

Season 1 DVD was just released recently, you should look into it. Only 20 bucks or so, and it's a hillarious show.

I love Reno 911. I thought it was mediocre at first but the characters grew on me and now I love it.

 

[Mister Zimbu]

Same here. The first episode wasn't that great but it's been doing great ever since. Having two of the three cast members from Viva Variety is NEVER a bad thing..

MadTV, Crank Yankers, and Shorties Watching Shorties are terrible.

Graham Norton looks pretty funny to me. I love that phone he has (the teddy bear one).

Strangers With Candy is grouped with Reno 911 in the "I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me."
(Girl: "Where's your permission slip?" Colbert: "YOU SHUT YOUR GOD DAMN DIRTY LITTLE MOUTH!")

Has anyone here ever seen Let's Bowl? It doesn't sound too good conceptually but if you actually watch a few episodes it's freaking hilarious. I love how the commentators are actually broadcast to the audience. It's great to see someone get up to bowl and turn around and give a dirty look when the guy gives an off-color comment

I'm glad Tough Crowd was given another chance. The show's hilarious (whenever Patrice isn't on it, at least), and has only gotten better now that they bring in the bench every week .

Can't just dismiss the horrible crap that CC put out though... Shorties Watching Shorties... Strip Mall... Battlebots... ugh.

 

[demon]

Shorties Watching Shorties is an abomination. I remember watching it for the first (and last) time in a dorm cafeteria and it was embarrassing.

 

[Willco]

I was watching Strangers With Candy and laughed my ass off when Jerri accidently killed that girl with the acid/drug cream.

I just saw the one with the child molester sting.

<Guy> God, I'd love to put my head on those...

*Police come running up from behind to arrest him*

<Guy> But I'm awake enough to not rest on your shoulder.

*Police stop from grabbing him at the last second, run back around the corner*

<Guy> Do you mind if I suck on em a little?

*Police run up from behind again*

*Guy grabs the girls drink and sucks on it through a straw*

<Guy> Thanks.

*Police stop RIGHT behind him again, and run back around the corner*

<Guy> .....so we gonna fuck or what?

More quotes!

http://imdb.com/title/tt0370194/quotes

Deputy Travis Junior: I actually wanted to be in the FBI for about 20 minutes after I saw that movie with Jodie Foster and that guy who eats people in his basement, but I was really stoned at the time. And to be honest with you, for about 20 minutes, I also thought about making a dress out of people's skin.

[Jones reads a note in the bag of tacos he and Garcia ordered from a fast food taco joint]
Deputy S. Jones: Officers, there are two armed men inside.
Deputy James Garcia: I hope there are two-armed men in there. One-armed men wouldn't be able to serve tacos.

[Officer Garcia has been shot]
Deputy James Garcia: Oh, God, call for help.
Deputy Trudy Wiegel: Help. Help.
Deputy James Garcia: Use your goddamn radio.

[takes the pinata, puts it on the ground, and shoots it three times in the stomach]
Deputy James Garcia: Yeah! Yeah, who's laughing now, pinero?
[shouts]

HAHA!

Oh man I need to hurry up and pick up the DVD

 

[Prince of Space]

Haha, yeah Reno 911's hilarious.

One of my favorite R911 scenes ever...

[Dangle has made Jones help him move, and it turns out his house is only 50 feet away]
Lt. Jim Dangle: Here we are, casa de Dangle!
Deputy S. Jones: [pause] What the fuck?
Lt. Jim Dangle: What do you mean, what the fuck?
Deputy S. Jones: Dangle, we only moved, like, 45 feet! You could have done all of this shit yourself!
Lt. Jim Dangle: I'm sure it's more like 100 feet.

[talking to a junior high class]
Deputy Trudy Wiegel: Now, I don't care if you wear mini-skirts. I don't care if you wear Dungarees. I don't care if you're good at basketball, I don't care if you're fun to be around. But you can rest assured that every one of you, at some point, is going to be raped.

Lt. Jim Dangle: I can't imagine any woman having sex with Garcia. I think it would be really angry, the sex.
Deputy S. Jones: You think so?
Lt. Jim Dangle: Have you ever heard him in the john? It's like Normandy.

 

[The Shadow]

I've been watching Reno 911 since the first episode. Good show although the thing that grabbed me was the commercial/scene that someone else mentioned. Garcia was chasing someone, runs into a dark room, all the other officers yell "Surprise!" and then he shoots one of them. Funny as hell.

Anyone see the episode where Dangle tries to seduce Jones by asking him to help him move a few trailers down from where he lived? Apparently it worked; the next day Dangle wasn't at work because "He lost the ability to walk". LOL

Is that still on? I haven't seen it on in ages. I thought it was much better than battlebots. The whole "Let's spoof sports shows" worked much better with bowling than it did with robots.

[DarienA]

demon that one you posted was funny as hell IIRC after Garcia ran around the corner Jones was like... you know I gotta take you in right... and the guy was like... I don't know that...

Unfortunately not... you might be able to catch a few episodes every few months in those little mini-marathons they have some weekdays from 2-4am.

They're also occasionally on the Comedy Central on Demand channel if you have that.
