The Reno Sheriff's office is granted 2 tickets to an execution - but
since all 7 officers (Cedric Yarbrough, Niecy Nash,
Robert Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon, Carlos Alazraqui, Wendi McLendon-Covey,
Kerry Kenney) are keen on going, Lt Dangle (Thomas Lennon), head of the
precinct, decides to make this working shift into a scavenger hunt, in
which points are given for arrested perpetrators with certain features,
like size, man-boobs, animal tatoos and the like, up to being Jewish. Everybody,
including Lt Dangle himself, cheats like hell at the scavenger hunt of
course, and for the longest time, it looks as if Deputy Williams (Niecy
Nash) has won for bringing in the prettiest prostitute (Mina Olivery) - a
rather bland girl she has made up herself. But then Deputy Garcia brings
in a tall Jewish drag queen with an animal tatoo and so on and so forth,
and wins by a landslide, even though it's obvious the drag queen is not
the real article in more ways than one ... Ultimately, he takes the
prettiest prostitute to the execution - some kind of date ... If
you are of the polictically correct denomination you probably won't be
watching this series anyways, and this particular episode is one of the
more offensive episodes on top of that - but if you can laugh about
offensive humour, than you are exactly right here, and while the whole
thing is not exactly subtle and some of the jokes are pretty predictable,
it's extremely funny nevertheless ...
