Reno 911 - funniest show in a long time?
There are very few shows that cause me to laugh out loud uproariously (as in "scaring the dogs laughing"). This show is too funny!

Too funny. Also like how they start out almost every episode with a car crash! :-D

4. You are right
So far my favorite has been the FBI one. When they stood behind the FBI spokswoman was briliant. The whole run has just been briliant.

7. Humor with a twist!
Have you seen the one where they catch the kids on the roof about to jump via a ramp on his bike?

"I've got eight dollars says you can't, kid: I'll take that bet."
Ramp brakes, kids rides over the side of the building. "Should we call 9-11? No,they know we were here..."

To dam funny!

11. It's really surreally funny, but live-action at the same time.
And that's something that's really hard to do, IMO. The show "Kids In The Hall" mastered that process, and "Reno 911" is doing the same.

12. Definitely!
There's only a couple of shows which I actually make an effort to catch, and Reno 911 and Insomniac are on top of the list. I loved the skit where they stopped the 2 Jehova's Witnesses, espescially... just an all around hilarious show.

13. I'm A Big Fan As Well
One of Comedy Central's best live action programs, and most of it is improvisation.

14. RENO 911 has a Great ensamble cast..Every ep has been a gem so far
They all rock but my faves are Wigel and dangel..Wigel esp she always makes me laugh out loud from wearing granny panties on a Hooker sting, Bringing her dead cat out when on suicide watch or like when she talks to her dead mother.." My mother got really into Beine babies...about 4 years after she died " LOL..Whatta great show!! they better give it a second season! Last weeks was a pure gutbuster with the wedding

15. Carlos Alozroqui

18. Also: The most famous member of the Rocko production staff was...
...Stephen Hillenburg, creator of SpongeBob Squarepants.

19. Well, that does not surprise me.
Rocko had the same type of loveable goofiness that Spongebob has. Same "dumb" friend (Heifer v. Patrick), same curmudgeon boss (Mr. Big Head v. Mr. Krabb), etc. Definitely no correlation between Filbert and Squidward, tho'!

22. I LOVE this show
I've only seen it twice (the suicide one and the wedding one). OMG. The writing and acting are brillant. I know I've seen a good movie or T.V. show when I rethink something funny and laugh out loud. "I'm not surprised that she tried to kill herself, and I'm not surprised that she failed." KEEP IT COMIN'!
