Quibi 911!

We got tons of mobile apps, allowing us to use our phones for various things. Quibi is very young, but with a former Disney chairman in Jeffrey Katzenberg, it could help bring many a program to their platform. As of today, that also means the revival of Reno 911!. The last time it was on was back in the summer of 2009, long before Comedy Central became very obsessed with airing The Office and random South Park episodes. A time when there was a number of shows on the network.

There's always been talk about bringing back the show just from reading articles about the future of it. Over the years, a few of the actors reprise their characters. Maybe it seems like it could work under a new kind of format. It's mainly improv of idiot cops who can't do their jobs properly. Getting hit by doors, bicycles being stolen, racist towards your partner. Always fun to see what they do. And you could do more than enough material to last you a couple years. But will audiences want it. If the dedicated fans are, so should casual watchers.

All ten cops are back. Who knows who they'll have on the streets. Familiar people like the Dungeons and Dragons guy, Terry, Jackie the hooker. Some of the main actors can pull off doing multiple characters. As a whole, this should do okay. If the humor and improv is near to the level of the original run, then it should help boost Quibi. Anything that's necessary to get one step ahead of other apps. Eat your heart out, other cop shows.
