Reno 911!: Miami is based on a show from what TV network?

The story behind the answer

Reno 911!: Miami is based on the Comedy Central television series Reno 911!.

Released in 2007, the film expands the mockumentary comedy about the incompetent deputies of the Reno Sheriff’s Department. The original series was created for Comedy Central by Robert Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon, and Kerri Kenney-Silver, who also played major roles in the show and film.

The movie sends the deputies from Nevada to Miami for a police convention, where their usual incompetence becomes an increasingly chaotic crisis. Although the story takes place largely in Florida, its comic world and characters come directly from Comedy Central’s Reno 911! series.

Viewers may confuse the network with the film’s distributor. In the United States and Canada, 20th Century Fox handled theatrical distribution, while Comedy Central was the home network and also associated with the film’s production banner. The question asks about the source television show, making Comedy Central the canonical answer.
