The fumbling cops of "Reno 911" are back for their fifth season Wednesday night (premieres 10:30 p.m. EST on Comedy Central), with more absurd chaos from the Washoe County Sheriff's Department. After last season's cliffhanger, some big questions are looming ever-present for devoted fans of the comedy series: Who's the father of Deputy Wiegel's baby? Will Garcia ever return with Lt. Dangle's husband? Featuring guest spots by George Lopez, Christina Applegate and Seth Green, this season should be another doozy.
