Reno 911! is in some respects a parody of the long-running television show COPS and to a lesser extent Rescue 911. The show features the fictional members of a Washoe County, Nevada sheriff’s department (based in Reno), who are videotaped during the course of their duties, sometimes addressing the camera directly as though being interviewed. The force also has problems with racism, unrequited attractions, promiscuity, passive-aggressive feuds, drug use, and other dysfunctional troubles that supply a lot of the show’s humor. It was nominated as Outstanding Comedy Series at the 2004 GLAAD Media Awards.
Only the basic narrative elements of the show are scripted, with the dialogue improvised. This enhances the illusion of reality.
On March 21, 2004, Comedy Central ran a special of the show entitled Reno 911!: Off Duty.
The fourth season started on July 9, 2006.
The show is filmed almost entirely in Southern California, not Reno.
