A nice pick up for casual fans

"Comedy Central's Reno 911 is a show that shouldn't work, yet it does. Hilariously spoofing COPS and the police force in general, Reno 911 has managed to be a surprise hit for Comedy Central, thanks mainly to the sharp cast which do brilliant improv work in front of the camera. As a previous reviewer has already mentioned, this DVD compilation is basically a quick cash-in attempt from Paramount and Comedy Central to while the big screen adaptation is out and the show itself is in between seasons. However, there are some hilarious moments (including the as yet to be released episode featuring the excellent Paul "Pee Wee Herman" Reubens) to be found here, making this a nice pick up for casual fans of the show who don't want to purchase the season sets. However, if you do own any of the season sets, there is really no reason at all to pick this DVD up."

"I've got the Season 1 through 3 DVD sets and bought this because I wanted the "Rick From Citizens Patrol" episode from the currently unreleased Season 4 set. Paul Rubens really nails the Reno 911 brand of "strange" with his character. He's the perfect foil for Dangle, and some of the unexplained bits (the whole Thai thing, including fixing spicy Thai soup right before the episode's "surprise" ending) just ratchets up the oddball factor. For the uninitiated, the "Officer Smiley" episode is another winner and consistently funny throughout. "Reverend Gigg LeCarp" has never been an episode that held up well under multiple viewings. "Reading Ron" has the number one gross-out moment of the entire four seasons (no spoilers in THIS review, however). Think of "Reno's Most Wanted" in the same vein as the single-disc Simpsons DVDs. Paramount's making a fast "between box sets" buck, but it's cheap, and it does have at least one "must-have" for people who own Seasons 1-3 already (the Rubens episode)."
GREAT

"I've been in Korea for five years, and i never heard of this T.V. show. A friend of minds told me about it, and it is too funny. Look forward to watching more of this show. It is a must have item."
