This holds up so well

As long as you're not easily offended, this is still so funny and almost timeless. I'm surprised this hasn't had some resurgence in pop culture.

People are sick of the current political agenda pushed down the throat in every TV show. The white characters are portrayed as a bunch of deeply retarded people, while the black one is portrayed as a cool and charming guy.

If you watched it, you'd know that this show is anything but politically correct, and the cool black guy is usually the butt of his own jokes. This show mocks everyone heavily, including blacks.

I have. I'm currently watching the second half of the seventh season.

The show is still pretty funny, but it being split up into seven-minute episodes seems pointless. I liked the old format when it aired on Comedy Central. Few other nitpicks:

• Cedric Yarbrough (Deputy S. Jones) - Damn, what happened to this dude? Looks like he was stung by a thousand bees. Hope he's okay.

• Public Service Announcements (PSAs) - Overused. They should scale it back to maybe twice per season and shorten it up a bit.

• No blurring of faces - I believe this was a problem when originally put on DVD. Seeing T.T. and Jackie the Hooker's faces really takes me out of those particular scenes.

Glad somebody out there took a chance on a Reno 911! revival. Very deserving.

Yeah I don't know what Quibi offered them that Comedy Central or any other network would not offer them because why would they want to do 7minute episodes.
But when you think about it after seven minutes you go into commercial.

I also am concerned about Jonesy.
He did not look well, but his appearance had bee going downhill for a while.
He seems extremely bloated.

Also I agree with the blurring of the faces. - We all knew T.T. was Nicey Nash but we pretended it wasn't cause we couldn't see the face, LOL.
