Reno 911! (2003– )
8/10
Reno 911!: Pure gold but falls short of greatness
9 May 2018
And like that the six seasons of Reno 911! and it's spinoff movie are over and I'm a combination of saddened and relieved.

Saddened because it's a great show, relieved because the final season felt like a chore and really wasn't on par with the rest.

Now for those unfamiliar Reno 911! is a mockumentary show about the Reno police department which is made up of hilarious inept characters and the chaos that transpires during their job.

The trouble with Reno 911! is that it's quick fire dry humour, and though most jokes hit the mark (Many firmly so) a lot fail thoroughly as well and that's what prevented the show from being truly legendary. Had it been more consistent it would have easily been one of my favorite shows of all time.

Led by the excellent and criminally underappreciated Thomas Lennon the cast is on point until the final season when they suddenly replaced two cast members with a pair that simply didn't gel very well and damaged the final season.

Slapstick, silly and often satirical Reno 911! is a solid comedy show I would recommend to anyone and everyone under the appreciation that many jokes fall flatter than a dry fart.

Reno 911! You shall be missed, fantastic show.

The Good:

Excellent cats

Hilarious for the most part

The Bad:

No finale

Last season doesn't deliver

New characters fail to entertain

Things I Learnt From This Show:

At some point they ran out of ideas but chose to carry on anyway

Thomas Lennon needs more movie work
