Reno 911 - is it season five already?

I might have a new favorite character (hopefully he'll be recurring, that is -- and for you trivia buffs my previous favorite was Patton Oswalt's Dungeonmaster) on Reno 911!. Diedrich Bader as Reality TV Bounty Hunter "Tommy Hawk."

Looking like something out of The Road Warrior meets Die Hard, "The Hawk" has his own little conversion-van A-team of a porny-looking girlfriend (I didn't mean to say that so it sounded a Bad Thing), his armorer, his stylist, and a TV crew. Several catch phrases and product placements were worked into his segment -- which were basically genius, as you'd expect of Diedrich Bader.

Oh, and he carries a crossbow. A crossbow.

He encountered the RCSD deputies a couple of times, and when they saw themselves on TV Junior said "I didn't think it was possible for someone to make us look worse" (they're also jealous of all his redos).

Nobody does white-trash glitz like Diedrich Bader. They've got a video clip at at the Comedy Central Site, just scroll down the video archive for "Tommy Hawk."

Glad to see Reno 911! coming back strong after an iffy first episode this season.
