I just watched the first season of the TV show Reno 911 and have to say I liked it. Though listless at points, the improvised zingers make the draggy moments bearable. I do have a fondness for the improv. A couple of my favorite quotes:
Deputy Travis Junior:
"I actually wanted to be in the FBI for about 20 minutes after I saw that movie with Jodie Foster and that guy who eats people in his basement, but I was really stoned at the time. And to be honest with you, for about 20 minutes, I also thought about making a dress out of people's skin."
Lt. Jim Dangle: [performing an anti-crystal meth song for a class of kids]
"You can monkey with a gibbon, You can fiddle with a bow / But before you snort that crystal meth, there's some things that you should know / Meth is made from antihistamines, in basement labs it's cooked / And possession is a felony, which means that you'll get booked / With a snort it zips right up your nose, and eats away your brain / It kills your sense of good and evil, and it makes you go insane / Here we go... / So don't meth with meth, Beth / Don't meth with meth, Seth / Don't meth with meth... Gwyneth / Don't meth with crystal meth!"
