Re: Anyone see the season premiere of Reno 911?
I gotta say...I thought Mary Birdsong was a headscratcher of an addition to this show and I never quite understood the appeal of Carlos Alazraqui but the loss of Wendi McLendon-Covey might just be too much to handle.
I'll still watch of course. I love the others (Robert Ben Garant being on the bottom of that totem pole) and will follow their exploits for as long as the show airs. I just can't understand who in their right mind thought letting go of ANY of the original women was a good idea. |
Re: Anyone see the season premiere of Reno 911?
I forgot to change my DTV DVR from the Comedy Central to Comedy Central HD but I caught the re-air.
Its in FULL HD! :rock: Flipped between the HD and SD channels and the SD channel is cropped on the sides to fit 4x3. The HD has the entire proper frame which adds some sight gags. I love the PSA for the Suicide Prevention website. Crosswords and knitting will definitely keep me from killing myself. |
Re: Anyone see the season premiere of Reno 911?
I loved it. It was hilarious.

Re: Anyone see the season premiere of Reno 911?
I just watched the new episode and it is not bad, but Clemmie will be missed. Just last week I watched the episode where Dangle and Clemmie went to a Halloween party and the people thought that they were disguised and gay copy and slutty cop.

Re: Anyone see the season premiere of Reno 911?
I liked all three characters/actors that left.:(

Re: Anyone see the season premiere of Reno 911?
I thought the premiere was terrible. Slow and dull, mild chuckles instead of laughs. How could they get rid of Clemmie? It makes no sense.

someone is a UCB fan! Ian Robers was & will be hilarious on this show. He is one of the most talented improv comedians, I've seen him (UCB) live many times and he is just so quick and never fumbles for something funny to say. I hate to say it but the weight he put on makes his character even funnier. Jo Lo Truglio is always funny, and it'll be nice to see him in something for more than 2 mintues. His scene in Wet Hot American Summer still make me pee my pants. Frank Rizzo??? Everytime I hear it I think of The Jerky Boys. I will miss Wendi, her character was always hilarous...though I didn't want to see any of them go. For more STATE alumni check out PARTY DOWN on Starz....Ken Marino is in it...and its actually funny. Don't forget to keep an eye out for Zombies and/or Time Machines. Its a big problem. |

I read this thread before I watched the premiere and so I knew going in that some of the actors had been let go for no apparent reason. Knowing that, when the remaining characters couldn't remember the lost character's names or what happened to them it kind of came off as an asshole move. |
Re: Anyone see the season premiere of Reno 911?
Never caught onto the show until it hit reruns because its the kind of predictable comedy show that is probably best at 12 to 1 AM when you are winding down.
Really strange that they would, after all these years, ax several actors and not say why (though the shows explanation, or non-explanation, was funny). Agree, I hated Birdsong and her addition/character was a puzzler, never funny, never seemed to do much so I'm glad she's gone. Shame about the others.

Re: Anyone see the season premiere of Reno 911?
I think Ian Roberts is like Jon Favreau in that way, he is either in incredible shape, or fat. They also both seem to pull it off and put it on incredibly fast.

Re: Anyone see the season premiere of Reno 911?
According to Rainn Wilson, Reno 911 has been cancelled.

Re: Anyone see the season premiere of Reno 911?
More accurately, according to Thomas Lennon (Jim Dangle) Reno 911! has been cancelled.

Re: Anyone see the season premiere of Reno 911?
:(
At least give it a proper sendoff.. it's one of the only things I can still endure on Comedy Central. |

I could see the writing on the wall, especially with the cast changes. |
Re: Anyone see the season premiere of Reno 911?
Crap! That's the whole reason I became a cop.
The most realistic cop show in the history of TV. |
Re: Anyone see the season premiere of Reno 911?
Damn! I just bought all 6 seasons during the DDD sale. At least I don't have to worry about investing any further and just enjoy what was already made.
|
Re: Anyone see the season premiere of Reno 911?
Hasnt been good since season 2. I stopped watching 3 seasons ago.
Why would Rainn Wilson talk about this show? What does he have to do with it? |
Re: Anyone see the season premiere of Reno 911?
^ He guest starred

re: Reno 911 -- Discussion Thread
CC is running a marathon on New Years Eve with new interstitials.
https://ew.com/tv/2018/12/22/reno-91...new-years-eve/ From 9 a.m. ET on Dec. 31 to 4:30 a.m. on Jan. 1, Comedy Central will air a marathon of the winning COPS!-esque mockumentary series that turned the city’s finest into the city’s most foolish. During the marathon, stars/creators Thomas Lennon (Lt. Jim Dangle), Robert Ben Garant (Deputy Travis Junior), and Kerri Kenney-Silver (Deputy Trudy Wiegel), along with Carlos Alazraqui (Deputy Sergeant Class III James Oswaldo Garcia) will be seen in a half-dozen interstitials that will air during the 37-episode blowout. |
re: Reno 911 -- Discussion Thread
Nice to see Carlos back in the uniform.
|
re: Reno 911 -- Discussion Thread
I got the seasons on DVD, so I can always do my own marathon. I fell in love with Wendi McLendon-Covey. Still follow her on social media.

Re: Reno 911 -- Discussion Thread
The classic Comedy Central series “Reno 911!” is being revived at Quibi for a seventh season. The original series ran from 2003 to 2009. Original series creators and cast members Robert Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon, and Kerri Kenney-Silver are attached to write and star in the new season. Peter Principato of Artists First will executive produce the revived series along with Danny DeVito, Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher of Jersey Television. Additional casting will be announced at a later date. Comedy Central Productions, Comedy Central’s new studio-production arm, will produce. “’Reno 911!’ holds a special place in our hearts, and it will be a delight to get the original cast back together for ‘re-boot goofin,'” Lennon said. “Hopefully Nick Swardson can still roller skate. Quibi’s short format seems custom made for our show.” The mockumentary-style show parodied the popular series “Cops” and followed the misadventures of a group of deputies working for the Reno Sheriff’s Department. “Reno 911!” was unique in that most of the dialogue was unscripted, with the cast frequently improvising their lines. A feature film, “Reno 911!: Miami,” was released in 2007. “We are very excited to partner with Ben, Kerri and Tom, three of the most gifted multi-hyphenates in comedy, to bring more of their iconic series ‘Reno 911!’ to the world,” said Sarah Babineau and Jonas Larsen, Comedy Central’s co-heads of original content. “Fans demanded this for a long time and Comedy Central Productions and Quibi are thrilled to help answer that kind of 911 call.” It was previously announced that Lennon had set up the comedy series “Winos” at Quibi. That show follows a misguided entrepreneur (Lennon) who moves from Silicon Valley to Napa Valley and tries to turn a run-down vineyard into a success. Quibi is set to launch in April 2020. The service will offer subscribers access to original short-form content in a mobile-only viewing experience. The service will have two pricing tiers at launch. The first will cost $4.99 with one pre-roll ad before each video segment — a 10-second ad if the video is less than 5 minutes and a 15-second ad for 5-10 minute videos. The ad-free option will cost $7.99 “I couldn’t say it better than Sarah and Jonas, and I for one will sleep soundly knowing ‘Reno 911!’ is back on the beat keeping our streets safe once again,” said Doug Herzog of Quibi. Lennon is repped by UTA, Artists First, and Rogers & Cowan. Garant is repped by UTA and Artists First. Kenney-Silver is repped by Gersh and Artists First. Lennon, Garant and Kenney-Silver are all repped by Jackoway Tyerman. DeVito is repped by CAA and Behr Abramson Levy, Stan Rosenfield & Associates. Shamberg and Sher are repped by CAA and Gang Tyre. |
Re: Reno 911 -- Discussion Thread
So basically instead of 30 minute episodes, they're going to release each individual vignette/skit as its own "short-form" episode.
So something like this would be an episode: |
Re: Reno 911 -- Discussion Thread
And you'll have to pay for it!
This service sounds dumb if they won't have a fully ad supported free version. Who the fuck is going to pay $4.99 a month for 10 minutes or less episodes of things when that is practically what Disney+ charges. |

I look forward to watching that once I can watch it on an actual television.

Re: Reno 911 -- Discussion Thread
So I went to watch the first episode yesterday. I downloaded the Qubi app, signed up for the 90 day free trial (ad free tier), found the show, started it, looked for the Chromecast button..... and nothing. There's no Chromecast. There's no Airplay on iPhone either. You can't even mirror your screen. Qubi apparently deliberately restricted the viewing to phone only, which is a dumb idea to begin with, but is even dumber when their original "intended audience," i.e. commuters, doesn't exist at the moment because everyone is stuck at home. They're apparently working on adding Chromecast and Airplay to the app, although it's been three weeks since they announced that.
https://www.slashfilm.com/quibi-on-tv/ So now I'm torn between watching the show on my tiny phone screen in the interim, or just waiting until I can watch it on my TV screen. I'm leaning towards the latter. |
Re: Reno 911 -- Discussion Thread
Can't wait to see Reno 911 again! I'll just wait until someone else picks it up from this service so I can watch it like a normal (old) person - on a television.

Re: Reno 911 -- Discussion Thread
Shoot, I was going to sign up for the 90-day free trial and forgot. Looks like it's 14-day free trial now. Not bad, but not the same. I may try it out soon.

Also, wait until you can view on a TV, if that's something you'd like. |
