Reno 911 - The Complete Third Season (2003)

Buckle up for another ride with the officers of Reno Nevada’s Sheriff’s Department in this third season DVD of the hit Comedy Central Series. From a stint in prison to an accidental cat killing to close encounters of the S.A.R.S. kind, you can expect nothing but foolish choices and utter mediocrity from these hapless law enforcers!

Very funny!

I own all these on DVD and they are all hilarious! Very funny and entertaining. October 18, 2008

Dangle and The crew at their best

I'm going to keep it short and sweet. Got this off of Borders which are working with Amazon. If you love the show then you must get this DVD if you don't have it already. Very funny. Dangle and The rest of the Reno Sherriffs doing their thing. Get it Now or regret it later. February 8, 2008

"If I wasn't on my period, I could have did that."---Raineesha Williams

At first I was disappointed in season three of Reno 911. I missed the second season, so I did not know about the cliffhanger with D.A. Mike Powers out to get the sheriff's department fired, so the first two episodes of this season seemed very weird. On second and third viewings, however, I see how funny those episodes were and, with most of the episodes on here (save for two near the end) being hilarious, this DVD set is one of my favorites. The acting, as usual, is superb!

Disc 1:
Episode 1: After D.A. Mike Powers gets the brave men and women of the Reno Sheriff's Department put behind bars, Powers is discovered to be a murderer (well, he decapitated a few prostitutes) and the objects of his hatred are released from prison to pursue lives outside the force. They all find new careers that fit their personalities.
Episode 2: The gang is out of prison and doing what they want: Junior is a sleazy carney, Clemmy is a Steely Dan groupie, Dangle is trying out for American Idol, Wiegel is opening her home to old shut-ins, etc. Happy with their new lives, the gang doesn't care about getting back at the guy who got them fired, but Mike Powers is obsessed on getting ultimate revenge on the former officers. Junior: "Everybody does bad stuff; I love child p*rn*graphy, who am I to throw stones."
Episode 3: The Sheriff's Department is trying out new candidates to be the new member of their force, but they don't want to hire someone who makes them look TOO bad. As Raineesha says, "If I wasn't on my period, I could have did that."

Episode 4: One of my favorites. Reading Ron films his PBS children's reading program at the Reno Sheriff's Department, but can't find any usable footage for the show and confronts some past demons. I've laughed to tears during this episode. Junior: "Ecstasy does not start with an 'X'." In the meantime, Dangle, Jonesy, and Wiegel are quarantined for Saars.
Episode 5: The gang is trying to catch the notorious Fast Eddie McLintock (Jeff Foxworthy gets voice credit). The spike strip scene is hilarious. I laughed to tears during the scene with the interpretor and the suspected jewel thief when Garcia goes off! The graffiti song at the school is also a highlight.
Episode 6: I love the beginning scene with the stripper accidentally hanging himself at Clemmy's birthday party! Dangle and Kimball escort a visiting dignitary from New Zealand. Wiegel and Junior try to recruit at a job fair.
Episode 7: Jones sings on a radio commercial and thinks he's going to be a star. Dangle and Wiegel try to unravel a baffling Arby's murder case. Garcia and Junior are ambushed by paint ballers.

Disc 2:
Episode 8: This is my favorite episode of this season. Excellent beginning scene where a liver transplant needs to be delivered to St. Mary's Hospital--with Trudy Wiegel in charge! Williams and Garcia guard Liberace's piano which seems to be cursed. Clemmy gets engaged to a 74 year-old hot tub king who dies after the proposal. Luckily, Clemmy has always wanted to be a widow. Will she be a rich widow or will misfortune h*mp her leg?
Episode 9: It's Garcia's birthday but he has plans...with a woman. The gang follows him around and finds out there is a wedding being planned but also find what they believe to be evidence the woman is two-timing him.
Episode 10: The Sheriff's Department gets a Hummer which may be more trouble than it's worth (although Clemmy thinks she looks da*n good in it). A good-looking Hawaiian lad thinks he's found his father--Lt. Jim Dangle.
Episode 11: CSI is filming in Reno and the Sheriff's Department works security. This episode is surprisingly boring--even Clemmy cries!
Episode 12: Dangle and Junior stake out a spa and end up having to find their way back to the station--in the buff. As good as those guys look (and they look GOOOOOOD--all the guys in this show are hot), this episode is another clunker.
Episode 13: Hooray! The show gets back on track! Wiegel is proposed to by her convicted murderer boyfriend who is set to be executed in 24 hours. In a rare moment of compassion, the gang do what they can to make her wedding one to remember. Includes cliffhanger when the red phone rings.

"I'm a TURTLE now! I am USELESS!"

The 7th episode of the season features a series-best performance from Cedric Yarborough as Jones, who gains instant fame as the voice-over talent for High Sierra Carpets. The series is based on characters who have varying degrees of insanity and instability (but for the most part let those traits bubble just below the surface). In this episode, however, Yarborough gives an unrestrained, over-the-top tour de force performance. Deputy Jones proves that the higher they climb, the harder they fall, and the episode is laugh-out-loud hilarious. The fun doesn't stop there...the season starts with the entire cast in jail (picking up from season 2), moves toward their inevitable showdown with former D.A. (and part-time serial killer) Mike Powers, and much, much more. The eleventh episode...with the officers performing security duty on the set of "CSI"...features some of their best extended improv to date. The scene with Dangle and Junior guarding "M. Helgenberger's" trailer just keeps getting crazier and crazier. Apparently he REALLY wanted that towel! This is ensemble comedy at its finest. May 20, 2007

Reno 911 is one of the funniest shows on

In my personal opinion i think that reno 911 is one of, if not the funniest show on comedy central. the writing on this show is just so off the wall. what makes me enjoy the show so much is the way they make up almost all the dialouge on the spot, and seeing their faces when someone is caught off guard and is trying not to laugh. i mean the dvd is a little short on features. i wish there could of been more unused skits or just bloopers footage but all in all i was happy with the package i got. and by the way the "delicious piping hot Arby's beef and cheddar" skit had me in tears.

a must have for anyone who enjoys any sort of improv comedy February 26, 2007
