Lt. Dangle protects and serves.
Reno 911!, how come you’re so good? The upcoming sixth season looks pretty spectacular. When Jonah Hill is the guess star of the premiere episode, I think it’s an omen for good things to come. There are some new members of the troop, including Deputy Frank Rizzo (Jo Lo Truglio, who you might remember from Superbad) who has a stocked resume, but no recommendations. A stakeout explains why (think drug busts and prostitutes). New officer Sergeant Jack Declan (Ian Roberts) has a hilarious scene coding out a street kids’ lingo for the happenings on the street. Nick Swardson fans, prepare to laugh out loud in that scene. And of course there’s always Lieutenant Dangle (Thomas Lennon) who utters “Goddamnit!” better than anyone in the world. Side note: it’s always nice to see veterans of The State doing well, even if I still miss “I’m Doug. And I’m outta heeeeeerrre”. When’s The State DVD release gonna happen, already?
