on the surface, it looks like that. I'll reserve final judgement when I see this show. If it's at least as good as Reno 911, I'm in. Every now and then, cheap laughs work for me.

ORANGE for all

from the way they are advertising it, yeah it's Reno 911 with auto mechanics.
They even have the little group meeting with the dude in charge

I'm watching it right now on Xbox LIVE marketplace and it has more of a Halfway Home look and feel.

I never watched Reno 911, but "American Body Shop" is basically "The Office" but in a body shop.

ABS is much more The Office than Reno 911. Reno is mostly improvised, ABS is almost entirely scripted. you'll find that Reno is mostly a series of vignettes, loosely tied together (but still funny) while ABS has a clear storyline for every episode.

reply

Yeah, it's def more The Office than Reno. I thought the same thing until I watched it. Next time you have something to say, know what you're talking about so you don't look like a complete beeping jackass.

Speaking of avoiding looking like a jackass, who are you talking to, the guy that simply asked a question?

No kidding, I don't understand what is so offensive, haha, oh maaan how daaare you see the commercial and get a RENO vibe from it... you're not allowed to get a vibe unless you've actually seen it... Haha guys.. Shut up. And I got the exact same vibe too. Because guess what... All I've seen so far IS the commercial, so get over it guys. I hear it's good though I hope it doesn't get canned.
