Absolutely hilarious!!,
By Amanda -
The crazy, absurd police officers of the Reno sheriff’s department return for more wild antics in season six of Reno 911!, Comedy Central’s popular mockumentary-style parody of law enforcement documentary shows, most specifically COPS. In this show, comic actors play the police officers and engage in a series of improvised (and absolutely absurd) sketches using a broad outline and minimally scripted material. The cops aren’t real. The situations aren’t real… but the laughs are definitely real.
At the beginning of season six, viewers are introduced to two new characters: Deputy Frank Rizzo (Joe Lo Truglio) and Sergeant Jack Declan (Ian Roberts), who were brought in to pick up the empty spots left by Deputy Sergeant Class II Clementine “Clemmie” Johnson (Wendi McLendon-Covey) and Deputy Cherisha Kimball (Mary Birdsong) after they were (supposedly) killed in the massive explosion at the end of season five. While it’s easy to miss the fallen deputies, Frank and Jack are acceptable replacements who help inject new life into an aging series.
Rizzo and Declan are quickly inducted into the wacky, everyday occurrences in the lives of the Reno sheriff’s department. From roller-skating prostitutes and serial killers to awkward dinner parties with exes and a “stoner Jesus,” Reno’s finest continue their eccentric adventures while refusing to shy away from “unacceptable” topics.
As in previous seasons, the all of the characters are brought to vivid, zany life by a funny funny cast with some of the best improvisation talent on television. Lieutenant Jim Dangle (Thomas Lennon) is particularly notable as the in-the-closet head of the Reno sheriff’s department. This season also features guest appearances by Rachel Harris, Scott Thompson, George Lopez, and others.
This DVD set includes all 15 episodes of season six in their complete, politically incorrect and uncensored versions. The set also includes a collection of alternate and deleted scenes, hilarious extended outtakes, in-depth audio commentary from the cast members, and two profiles that introduce newcomers Deputy Frank Rizzo (Truglio) and Sergeant Jack Declan (Roberts).
While much of the humor here is highly juvenile and politically incorrect, it will send viewers rolling with their sides splitting open. Some sketches are incredibly dumb, while others will leave viewers cringing or even make viewers wonder why on earth they are laughing at something so indecent or inappropriate. Reno 911! is filled with the kind of humor that will offend any and every group on the face of the planet, make proponents of politically correct humor cry, and those with weak constitutions lose their lunches.
For viewers who can get past all of that, this series is absolutely hilarious. It hits nearly every taboo subject right on the head — ranging from cultural slurs and stereotypes to highly adult content. While not every sketch is packed with laughs, each episode leaves something funny with viewers and will make them hungry for more Reno.
Plum Smuggler Spectacular,

I would say that the show superceded my expectations that i had for this season when i found out Garcia, Clemmy, and Kimball weren’t going to be on the show. I never had that many compliments about Kimball anyways. She was probably there to even out the F/M ratio. Sgt Declan and Frank Rizzo (not from Jerky Boys) were good replacements. I’m pretty sure that they both were on the show as appearances. Rizzo for sure, Declan not so sure. If he did than he definitely fits the epitome of a cop, embolisms and all, now that he’s got some weight on em. Props for keeping Terry because without whom i wouldn’t watch as religiously. Big Mike as well, who is revealed to be an ex Reno Sgt back in the 80’s when Dangle actually wore some pant legs. Was a little disappointed that cheap Carl didn’t make any episodes (the hamburger in the toaster really does say happy birthday!) and they should of had a little more Andrew. Overall the season rocked and am glad to see that it will probably be on for more seasons to come. Season 5 had me scared there for a little bit.
