"Reno 911" a show of pure comedy genius.

Even in reruns, this show is just too damn funny. :-)

1. I just wish they had more new shows

It seems like it's always in reruns.

8. He really looks like an approaching middle-aged gay guy who

lives in a desert community. Believe me, I used to live in one, although I don't count myself in that age group yet!

3. Since I first saw "Reno 911," the actual show it's...

modeled on, "COPS", now seems like a satire of itself.

4. Having worked with real cops before,

Reno 911 is not too far off from the real thing.

7. I hear that a lot of cops really like the show...

...and I can see why--they have a lot of episodes/segments when they're arresting johns/drunken trailer trash, etc., and I'm sure that's a lot of what cops really do!

9. Substantially improvised, right?

They are occasionally brilliant, and always (at least) funny.

10. I don't think so....

...on the DVD's they show outtakes, and they pretty much are following a script. They even show alternate versions, and you can tell they're not improvising because so much is similar.

It does seem to be improvised, probably because it's done so well it seems spur of the moment, like in a real cop situation.

12. And I really like some of the guest actors....like Andrew, the guy

they always arrest at the whorehouse.

Jack Plotnick shows up a lot, too.
