I caught this during a bout of insomnia YEARS ago, way before Reno 911. It was on in the wee hours of the morning and after I caught one, I tried in vain to find any information on the show. Even the website is "under construction". Forever I think. Reno 911 DID come WAY after Blotter and I find it pales in comparison. It lacks the realness that Blotter has, or the authentic atmosphere that gives the comedy a sharper, smarter edge. I find it more clever and funny than Reno 911, and wish that it was a normal length show during prime time. Reno tries too hard to be real, and doesn't try enough to have good writing. Blotter plays it straight and has a certain spontaneity and smartness. I find it a riot, while I find Reno relying on sight gags, and vulgarity. I wish they would gather all the Blotters and offer them up on DVD.
