Reno 911! starts its fifth season Wednesday at 10:30. The previews look hilarious -- George Lopez apparently guest stars as an embattled mayor addressing the officers. You hear him giving a speech that goes something like "The allegations, the finger-pointing, the semen -- none of that has anything to do with me..."
(That may not translate well in type.)
Reno definitely ranks as one of my favorite shows on the air, but not my favorite. That goes to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
But do I like that better than the defunct Arrested Development? Tough one. Sunny has Charlie, but Arrested was the first sitcom to combine an analyst and a therapist into one hybrid profession. (If you missed that reference, rent Season Three of Arrested immediately. Actually, don't. Buy all three seasons, and start from Episode 1. It builds like a soap opera with more inside jokes than any show in the history of television. So you need to start from the beginning.)
All of this is leading up to this bargument, which you can vote on in the poll nearby.
Pick the best of these cult-hit comedies: Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Fawlty Towers, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Reno 911!
