That sucks.

I could see the writing on the wall, especially with the cast changes.

Crap! That's the whole reason I became a cop.

The most realistic cop show in the history of TV.

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.

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?

This has to be one of the funniest ways a show was ever revealed to be canceled. Please make it perfect and tell me he twittered it.

And yeah, don't really care that it was canceled. This season was mostly terrible.

He did actually, although it was first twittered by Tom Lennon.

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.
Here's 3 of the new PSAs:

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.

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.

Quibi said they are working on Chromecast and Apple Air Play support to be able to watch it on TV.

There's a free 3 month free trial, but it ends tomorrow.

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.

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.

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.

The app has been discussed in it's thread in Streaming Talk.

You sound like you're shocked by this news. It's been known since the start that Quibi was a mobile only app. As Tom said, the Quibi thread talks about it more and that's why some here refuse to use it.

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.

I didn't really read or keep up on the Quibi thread or general news. I knew the app was only available on phones, but I had somehow missed that they weren't allowing Chromecast or Airplay, or even screen mirroring. It did catch me by surprise, because those are bog standard features for a streaming video app.

Wait until all the Reno 911 episodes are up, since they're being released daily.

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