The Must List

Reno 911!

Season 2 of the ''COPS'' parody -- 'Reno 911!' -- The Must List 2004

Jun 25, 2004

MUSTWORTHINESS The series' first season (now on DVD) is the deadpan, unscripted ''COPS'' parody that even cops like.
EXCEPT FOR THIS COP ''We film in a working sheriff's station,'' says Thomas Lennon, who plays the short-shorted Lieutenant Dangle, ''and a female sergeant filed an official complaint to ask if I would please stop bending over.''
OFFICER UNDERCOVER Despite a cast consensus, Lennon's ''gun'' cannot be seen out of its ''holster'' in the opening credits. ''But in the opening credits of season 2, I'm fully nude...with a mud mask on.''
NEXT A sophomore season now on Comedy Central.
