Reno 911! is an American comedy television series on Comedy Central that debuted in 2003. It is a parody of law enforcement reality shows, specifically COPS, with actors (instead of real officers) playing largely incompetent police officers. Most of the material is improvised, using a broad outline, and with minimal scripted material.
The series spawned a film, Reno 911!: Miami, featuring the same cast.
The lives of seven incompetent Reno sheriff's deputies are detailed in this "Cops" style parody. Among the colorful characters are Lt. Jim Dangle, the short shorts-wearing, flamboyantly gay supervisor; Deputy James Garcia, who makes police brutality an art form; Deputy Trudy Wiegel, the manic depressive, racist sociopath; Deputy Clementine Johnson, the skanky former magician's assistant; Deputy Travis Junior, the redneck who is never seen without his kevlar vest and sunglasses; Deputy S. Jones, the semi-competent ladies' man; and Deputy Raineesha Williams, the bootylicious black cop with an attitude. Written by Gibborino
