Ken Tucker

Jun 14, 2013

When the series premiered in July, 'Reno' looked like a one- or two-joke stunt, a smartly sustained 'Saturday Night Live' sketch. ... As this series has evolved, its format has proven remarkably expansive and emotionally rich, using parodic elements to explore these characters and place them precisely in a social environment.

An exceedingly funny spoof of Cops that also manages to dismantle the entire crime-show genre. [23 Jul 2003]

Bill Goodykoontz

It is laugh-out-loud hilarious -- if your drink doesn't spew out your nose at least once an episode, you're not paying enough attention. [19 Aug 2003]

The result: extreme silliness but more than enough laughs to make the half-hour investment worthwhile. [23 Jul 2003]

Noel Holston

Jul 8, 2013

The opening episode sometimes feels like a "Mad TV" sketch that's going on too long, and that doesn't bode well for the long haul. But that's not to say there's not plenty to laugh at - and even admire - in Wednesday's deadpan debut. [20 Jul 2003]

Rob Owen

Jul 8, 2013

This brand of humor can be an acquired taste, but fans with a tolerance for out-there buffoonery will want to make the trip to "Reno." [20 Jul 2003]

John Ruch

Possibly the least funny thing on TV. [23 Jul 2003]

Short and fun episodes that make fun of the Cop reality TV shows out there. Each character is stranger than the previous one and together they make an explosive mix. It reminds me of Super Troopers.
