Just realized something about Reno 9-1-1 last night.

[DrWeird]

The criminals are played by the same actors that play the cops. Frinstance- The actress who plays the cop Wangel (little Ms. Bean type lady) also plays the drugged out, bewigged prostitute with the eye patch.

2. You guys

didnt know that ?

[WillParkinson]

3. I had *NO* idea...

Of course I never watched the show, but still...<grin>

[Guaranteed]

4. Awesome show, by the way.

I routinely say, in my merry wonderment, "I think this is the best show I've ever watched" while it's on.

[ixion]

5. most realistic portrayal of cops, IMHO

;-)

6. my parents went

to reno i few times as my dad commented..you never see a anyone who looks like they don`t belong there..i guess the cops throw people out of town if they look "funny"....

[Guaranteed]

8. LOL you're right

I just remembered just a little over a month ago I had to go through Reno on I-80 when I moved from CA to IL. I stopped for gas there and I swear the guy behind the counter at the gas station looked like he was straight out of Deliverance.
Course, it WAS a gas station. Guess you could see that guy at a gas station anywhere in the US.
Wait a minute...I've worked at TWO gas stations.

7. Boy am I stupid

I didn't find that out until alst night either!

[Guaranteed]

10. Just to be fair to yourself

not all the criminals are played by the same actors. A few of them are...like that really crazy lady-whore with the big blond wig....I've seen the black lady play one...a few others.

9. Amazing, Sherlock

Now who's buried in Grant's Tomb?

[Guaranteed]

12. Oh yeah?

Well where was the Gettysburg Address given?

[ixion]

11. yeah, whenever the faces are blurred out, you know it's one of the cops

n/t

13. I suspected something like that

because the bad guys looked the same every week. This show truly has its moments, like when the psycho cop finally meets his long lost daughter on his birthday by coincidence. It is the best satire on the emptiness of existence I've ever seen.

[Bunny]

16. But it wasn't really his daughter.

She was just a stripper that Dangle hired (for $79 - sorry, my right parentesis is not working- to pretend she was Garcia's daughter. Garcia didn't know the difference - totally empty existence!

[NightTrain]

14. And Niecy Nash (a/k/a Deputy Williams) plays...

...Titi, the whacked-out black woman.

As for the other deputy, her name is "Wiegel," not "Wangel."

15. It took me this long, but I figured that out last night too.
