Reno 911! (2003– )
7/10
Cops mockumentary
3 May 2007
This is basically "Cops" done like "Spinal Tap." I wonder if Misters Guest, McKean, and Shearer are proud.

It's filmed really well. I imagine someone unfamiliar with it might wonder if it's real or not. That is until one of them shoots a suspect on a shoplifting call because he didn't want to waste time.

Dangle's tiny shorts put a few people off it seems. It's not the most attractive look, but then, that's comedy.

Travis Junior (Benny's a real Deniro/Taxi Driver fan.) looks like such a stereotypical beat cop. He plays the whole "Step over here for a minute sir" role to the hilt too.

And while I like the Williams character, I don't think we need so much fake "L'il Kim" lingo to get humor. And some of the Gay humor seems a bit trite too.

But funny? Yes. I discovered this recently and got plenty of laughs. Glad it survived.
