	MovieFreak.com - "Reno 911! - The Complete First Season" DVD Review
		However, after watching all fourteen episodes of the first season, I noticed several things: some locations double for two different situations, some of the actors play dual roles, and the "confessionals" of the officers to the camera are all filmed in a row, meaning a sense of continuity is not present (but who cares).
		Reno 911 is improvisational in the sense that two characters will sit inside the patrol car driving around or next to each other inside the station talking about various topics and each other, such as Johnson's pregnancy, Garcia's lack of romance, Wiegel's mental instability, and many other things.
		Reno 911 is a funny, improvisational, and fresh show that makes fun of COPS by showing us a group of police officers who are everything but adept at what they do.

	Sending up cops with deadly farce - The Boston Globe
		There's every reason for "Cops" send-up "Reno 911!" The Complete First Season not to feel as fresh as it does.
		"Cops" has always been full of comically self-important law enforcement types, thanklessly difficult job or no, as well as those trademark trashy miscreants forever laughing in the face of dignity.
		The seven-officer "Reno" department is headed by Lieutenant Jim Dangle (Thomas Lennon), who covers his beat in Village People short shorts "for maneuverability" when he's not working, uh, deep-cover vice in drag.

	Boston.com / A&E / TV / Bumbling 'Cops' parody lays down the law and disorder
		The show features seven actors playing cops who range from an openly gay officer who likes to pick up dates and get drunk in his patrol car to a former topless showgirl and magician's assistant who knows about every party in town.
		"Reno 911!" was originally developed for Fox in the late '90s but went unproduced for two years until Comedy Central bought the rights.
		"Reno 911!" was supposed to be a live sketch show with an audience, focusing on the perpetrators instead of the cops.

	Reno 911! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reno resident dirtball and “Captain of Suspicious Behavior." Reno deputies frequently respond to Big Mike's house to investigate complaints of domestic violence and disturbance of the peace.
		While the cops feel they are feuding with the firefighters, the firefighters (who are confident in their own abilities) seem to have no such feelings in return.
		On a few occasions, members of the Reno Sheriffs Department visit him in prison to ask him questions about operations of the District Attorney's Office under his tenure, and it is implied that he committed many more crimes and used his power to hide the evidence, such as the Mug Shot files from 1987-92.

		Reno 911's sophomore season is even more savagely funny than the first, as witness the various humiliations suffered weekly by the hapless squad.
		When they're not being one-upped by the Reno fire department, which has scheduled its annual pancake dinner the same night at the policeman's ball, they are being outsmarted and disrespected by the various lowlifes and misfits who populate their beat.
		The closer Reno 911 hews to the Cops template, the funnier it is. Unlike Chapelle's Show or The Osbournes, Reno 911's episodes are arguably funnier with the profanities bleeped (not an option on this three-disc set).

	TV On DVD: Reno 911! – These Cops Make It Look Hard! \| eclipsemagazine.com
		Comedy Central’s “Reno 911!” is not a series I’d been moved to watch, but the first season DVD set has changed my mind.
		The antics of the police for “the biggest little city in the world” are quite possibly beyond the ken of mere mortals such as you and me.Since the show is improvisational in nature, it has a much higher tendency towards the unexpected than most scripted series.
		“Reno 911!” knows exactly where the bounds of good taste lie - about five miles to the rear – truth be told.

		The Reno Sheriff’s Department patrols the streets of Reno responding to calls involving prostitutes, bums, drug addicts, and gun-toting hillbillies.
		A lot of attention is paid to capturing Reno stereotypes, such as white trash, trailer parks, prostitutes, liquor stores, gambling, etc. The show is set in Reno, but not filmed there — the palm trees are a dead give away.
		Aside from the quick shots of Downtown Reno, the Silver Legacy, Circus Circus, and the inside of a couple of strip clubs, nothing is shot in Reno.

		And in between, there is Reno, historically known for its gambling, divorce industry, and general immorality and lack of sophistication.
		Reno, as we know it, has been shaped in large part by these three factors: its own seedy past (and present), the isolation of its surroundings and its proximity to California.

		“Reno: 911” is structured like programs such as “Cops,” “True Stories of the Highway Patrol,” and “Rescue: 911” by intermixing footage of the Reno Sheriff’s department in action against the worst scum and biggest freaks of northern Nevada along with behind-the-scenes interviews with the boys and girls in b
		The gags in “Reno” consist of a variation on three themes: Candid interviews, crazy arrests, and character moments where we peer into the complex interrelationships of the deputies.
		The first two bits of business can get redundant because it mirrors the exploits of the shows “Reno” parodies and involves swapping out characters and locations but is the same routine you see on “Cops,” only the perpetrators far more charismatic and amped-up and the law enforcement portion of the equation extremely incompetent.

	IGN: Reno 911 - The Complete First Season Review
		Reno 911 was the brainchild of Kerri Kenney, Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant (with fourth State-alum Michael Jann directing) and is essentially a mockumentary version of TV reality show COPS.
		A typical day at the Reno Sheriff's Department might include nabbing crackheads for a scavenger hunt, destroying 50 pounds of marijuana by having a bonfire or daring each other to play with a corpse in the morgue.
		Thank God there doesn't seem to be much violent crime in Reno, because the officers are so utterly inept at their jobs that they'd probably all end up shot within five minutes.

	Crimson Celluloid :: Resident DVDvil :: Reno 911!: Season 1
		“Reno: 911!” sticks to the gonzo style of filmmaking that you may be used to from watching “Cops.” The only difference is that none of what you see here is real.
		The opening sequence of the Pilot episode, where two of the officers are called to a scene where they have been told that shots have been fired is shockingly funny, so much so that you almost feel guilty for laughing.
		Usually their faces are blurred out (“Cops” style), but there’s no mistaking who the perpetrators are being played by.
