DVD Reviews of Reno 911 - The Complete First Season
DVD Review: Hilarious!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had caught parts of Reno 911 on Comedy Central from time to time but rarely saw a full episode. After watching the first season on DVD, I can see why Reno 911 has the following it does. Reno 911 is like an non-animated version of South Park in that it is an equal opportunity offender (white, minorities, straight, gay, rich, poor....everyone is fair game) that gets it's laughs from not being politically correct and a certain amount of truth in their jokes. Done in the classic "Cops" fashion with a roving camera following the crew on their daily routines, Reno 911 will make you smile/grin or out right laugh in every episode. Each character has their own issue(s) that allow everyone to play off each other and set up many hilarious situations. Of course, if you are offended by language or get all bent out of shape by non-PC jokes then you will want to avoid this. However, if you like South Park (or at at least not offended by it even if you don't like it), then you have to give Reno 911 a try. For the price of the first season now, it is easily worth all the laughs you'll get!DVD Review: Very funny!
Summary: 5 Stars
I own all these on DVD and they are all hilarious! Very funny and entertaining.DVD Review: Reno-911
Summary: 1 Stars
I am disappointed with my purchase- I ordered at the same time I ordered 4 other porducts and received everything else within the week. Although it did say up to 14 days- In today's world I have a hard time understanding why a DVD would take 2 weeks to deliver. It was a Christmas gift and of course I received after Christmas. I would not buy from this distributor again!DVD Review: Corny comedy - some love it, some don't
Summary: 3 Stars
My husband and I bought this DVD set for his brother, who is a police officer. Both my husband and his brother absolutely love this series. They think it is so funny. On the other hand, my mother-in-law and me think its totally corny and doesn't impress us one bit. To each his own, I guess. I admit it does have some funny parts in it, though. I just didn't appreciate some of the rude and/or immoral comments and scenes that are portrayed. This is NOT a series for the young ones, or anyone who gets disgusted at the sight of a man kissing another man, etc. Even my husband didn't think scenes like that were necessary to make this a funny series. DVD Review: Laughed so hard
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have a sophisticated sense of humour then this probably isn't for you. But I laughed til I cried. Some of it is subtle, some of it will make you cringe but well worth watching
Description of Reno 911 - The Complete First Season
Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 05/20/2008 Rating: NrFrom the creators of the flamboyantly fabulous Viva Variety (and when will that be released on DVD?) comes Reno 911, Comedy Central's most arresting comedy series. Ride along with the cluelessly cracked squad of the Wahoe County Sheriff's Department, who cross the proverbial thin blue line with impunity. "That's how we do it in Reno," exults Lt. Dangle (Thomas Lennon), after absent-mindedly rear-ending a car whose trunk pops open to reveal a cache of marijuana. Reno 911 has Cops's gritty documentary feel, and Police Squad's straight face in subverting cop show conventions. The hapless officers get no respect, not from the citizens they encounter, from their colleagues in the FBI, or even from themselves. Kerri Kenney-Silver's unfortunate Det. Wiegel is the squad's odd girl out. "She's like a bad casserole" is one of the more polite things said about her. In one episode, a misunderstanding leads to her being put under a suicide watch, and she so loves the attention, she doesn't bother to inform her brethren that she, in fact, did not try to kill herself. The forays into black comedy are about as subtle as a S.W.A.T. assault. In the first episode's opening moments, an officer answers a domestic disturbance call with guns blazing, only to discover it is a surprise birthday party for him.
But Reno 911 would have gotten old fast if it was just Police Academy-style mishaps and slapstick. What elevates this from being a one-joke series are the intimately observed characters' quirks and personal dramas. Dangle has a penchant for short shorts, and, in the first episode at least, comely male traffic offenders. Dangle is not exactly Capt. Furillo (from Hill Street Blues) in the compassion department. When the squad learns that unwed Deputy C. Johnson (Wendy McLendon-Covey) is pregnant, he jokingly searches for a phone book when considering who the father might be. "There's usually a phone book around here," he shrugs. "It would have been funnier." Comedy Central may be guilty of running these episodes into the ground, but for Reno 911's devoted following, and for rookies to the force, this boxed set of commercial-free episodes, some commentary-enhanced, is just the ticket. --Donald Liebenson
