Thomas Lennon Tweets: Comedy Central Cancels RENO 911!!
I am – Hercules!!
“Reno 911!” creator Thomas Lennon twittered late Thursday that comedy central had pulled the plug on “Reno 911!” after six seasons.
This will presumably give Lennon and fellow writer-star Robert Ben Garant more time to script movies like “Taxi,” “The Pacifier,” “Herbie Fully Loaded,” “Let’s Go To Prison,” “Night at the Museum,” “Reno 911! Miami,” “Balls of Fury” and “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.”
In other cancellation news, TNT announced that the third season of “Saving Grace,” starring Holly Hunter, will be its last. The series’ final nine episodes will air next summer.

Really liked Reno 911. But all good things come to an end.
-
Sucks it's gone, but it had to happen sometime.
-
Thought it was one of Comedy Central's better recent shows. Too bad it's not coming back.
-
Most realistic cop show ever.

Damn shame! Always look forward for more Reno911!
by hollywoodhellraiser
Would be nice if HBO or FX pick it up! Hell VH1 should pick it up between all that reality shit!
-
For me, the show was great for the first two seasons, then it just started to lose its bite. Lennon was funny in "I Love You, Man."
-
It was never the same without Garcia and Clemmy, anyway.
-
Seriously. I thought they canceled it awhile ago. It got 6 seasons!? Why?!?!?! That show was stupid.
-
Can't wait to see what those guys do next, and I hope most of the troop stick together. 911 was a good run.
-
Michael, Michael and Tom have issues. That would be great! State reunion fuckers!

Reno is Awesome!!! I'll miss the shit out of that show, i hope it gets a finale of some kind,
-
Or movie?
-
Probably some of the Rock's best work. /random thoughts
-
She looks like she's been sitting in a room smoking 10 packs a day of camel unfiltered with no windows or sun.Having her off TV is a Saving Grace indeed.
-
Of course there'd be no sun if there were no windows. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
-
once that goes thats it npbody will
watch comedy central except for colbert & stewart. drawn together
crank yankers now reno 911 boy that channel is gonna suck from now on -
Reno 911! canceled? This last season was damn strong. Towards the end even that big, awkward guy was coming into his own. And Riso 'using the metric system' and then hooking up with Weigel... classic!
Maybe with all their script money they can finance another movie or tour America with a live show. The characters are too good to throw away.
PS - Fuck 'Saving Grace' -
Another genius show on Comedy Central that was shit-canned way too soon. Oh, and don't get me started on Stella, for I will cry.
-
After they way they treated Carlos and Wendi they got what was coming to them. The new episodes were practically unwatchable and the new characters were horrible. (though I'm basing this off a couple of episodes)
-
The best show on Comedy Central. Yes, better than South Park. Better than The Daily Show.
-
No offense, but the rest of the internet knew about this over 24 hours ago. Still sad news, though.
-
always seemed to me they tried to hard, the guy with the shorts is funny. The movie was awful.
-
til they changed the cast last year. then it sucketh greatly.
-
Something was just missing. Still, I enjoyed the first five seasons. Some funny stuff, great guest stars, and fun cast.
-
The two new dudes sucked ass. I was fully expecting this.
I'll hold out hope for another movie though. -
When was the last new episode? 3 years ago?
-
people saying it's gone downhill, or worn out it's welcome or whatever, you don't understand SHIT. the new cast members were hilarious, and they were consistently at the top of their game.along with 30 Rock and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, it was one of the top comedies out there. it sucks that Comedy Central is cancelling it. some of Comedy Central's new shoes are damn funny, (Michael and Michael is great, Tosh.0 is WAY better than it has any right to be) but don't let Reno 911 go!here's hoping it gets picked up by another network maybe. it'd be GREAT on FX, paired with Always Sunny...my dream comedy block!!
-
Then they kicked her off the show, then the show couldn't even make it for one more year. Just goes to show you, boobs=entertainment
-
For whatever reason, Reno 911! just made me feel happy in a way few, if any, other shows ever have. I loved the show with through all of the cast additions and changes. I would have liked to see it end (another movie?), but I think I'd be more excited about a new project than Reno relocating to another cable station.
-
Reno 911! was never as funny as it thought it was. That lousy movie was like show suicide.
-
I haven't kept up with this show for a few years, so what's the story about why they left the show? Were they fired, or did they quit?
-
Okay, just the "Night at the Museum" ones. And "Balls of Fury". Taking a shot on the 'talking to the gravestone' cliche...thumbs up.
-
The fake PSA's were ridiculous and awkward, yet funny.
Reno 911 wasn't the funniest show on TV, but it was still entertaining to watch, and I will miss it. I just started watching Season 6 and was hugely disappointed to learn that they killed off Officer Garcia, easily my favorite character on there. -
Didnt like the cast member changes. I read the actors did not leave. They just weren't asked back.
I stopped watching. -
Had a great run, but the last couple of seasons weren't nearly as funny as the first few.
-
since neither of them has any programming left. They could call it The "Canceling MST3K was only our 1st mistake!" Channel.
-
... where else am I going to see a gay guy on rollerskates get interrogated by bad cops? Ah, well. I don't have cable, so I just watched the show when syndicated reruns came on after "Criminal Intent" reruns. (Odd coupling.) Clem I wasn't sad to see go, but I loved Carlos's character, especially paired with Deputy Jones. And Mary Birdsong's deputy was fun, too. Good night, 911.
-
Carlos and Wendi were fired.......and rumor has it they got the news through an e-mail.
-

Any show that TNT ad-vomits up during Laker games
by anything but tangerines
is a fail to me. FUCK kyra sedgwick and FUCK the FUCKING grace bitch. I bury those cocksucker!
-
Carlos and Wendi didn't want to leave. Birdsong wanted to leave to do theater. Carlos posted on his website that he was fired by e-mail. Wendi was stoic about it but didn't want to leave either. Then after all of that they write off two very popular characters with a "they burned up in a fire" joke. Once I found out the back story it completely ruined the show for me.

Was great before it became The Dangle & Junior Show
by takingscorpioscalls
even though i liked the new guys they brought in it seemed missing something.
-
To delight millions of future generations.
-
...when Fox cancels Cops.
-
Comedy Central is good about canceling shows. Why would they cancel one of their best programs? Bring Reno 911! back!
-
... made that show more than any other single character. While the others acted like buffoons who happened to be officers, Garcia acted like an authentic police officer who happened to be a buffoon. BIG difference. And the fact that the writers (and the actor) would drop hints and reference a troubled past made his character more interesting than the others by default. He seemed grounded in at least some sort of reality.
-
That makes me like the show a little less all of a sudden.

NO! WHAT WILL FRED WARD DO NOW?
by isleptwithkathybatesandallthatigotwasthi
He was awesome in this! A cop trained by a Shinanju master to become the ultimate assassin! It doesn't get any better than that!
-
I know it was supposed to be a joke, but they completely trivialized Garcia's character by not even being able to remember his name after he died........and he was one of the most popular characters on there.
-
This show went down hill after the movie. The only funny joke since the movie when Dangle jumped the shark.
-
Let's have it. please, please, please.
-
Which is "Michael and Michael", dumb jock humor that lasted fresh for a week... then it fell into the same pits Reno 911 was being written to in it's last season.
Firing Carlos Alazraqui (Garcia) and Wendi McLendon-Covey (Clemmie) through e-mail was really low... and that order came from the State triad (Kerry, Lennon and Grant), who then tried to patch the hole with another member of their former group.
Last season became (as someone posted above) the Dangle & Junior show... Lennon and Garant knew their ship was sinking and wrote themselves in a better light, screw the rest of the non-State cast, right? -
or "The big dude" as he was referred earlier in this TB. The show is largely improved and Ian is an improv monter. Hopefully, Poehlers show will grab him up, add matt walsh and matt besser and retitle the show UCB. Side note, adding Louis C.K. is win for Parks and Rec.
-
blame that one on the pot.
-
In the first season it was hit or miss but this season was top notch entertainment. There were a couple of episodes that completely blew me away. Truly great television. The relationships between the characters are just real. One of the only shows on TV that doesn't seem scripted in its best episodes. People behave like human beings and the cops don't have any magic tricks to make suspects confess. It's a really solid show.
-
It's almost as unfunny as that turd Kath and Kim.
-
Ian Roberts is an amazing sketch comedian / improviser. On some Reno commentaries (before he joined the cast....but had guest spots) they talk about how good he is and how he always has a line ready to spit back at you no matter what you say to him.And I'd like to see him on Parks and Rec as well. He actually was in the first episode as one of the concerned parents at the town hall meeting....he had like one line but it was solid. I wouldn't mind seeing that character return.....or just make a new one. Anything for more Ian Roberts.
-
It was a good show. Much better than their scripts.
-
you fucking whore.
-
Fucked that post up. "Taste of betrayal" indeed.
-
Remember when it used to be all GET R DUNE shows?
-
It hadn't been funny for about two years. Dangle took up too much screen time towards the end while the others suffered. Wygle is the funniest character anyway.
-
dumb jock humor?god, people are stupid...
-
I love Reno 911. Easily one of the best TV comedies in recent year.
-
This is what happens when you fire your regulars and hire on unappealing newbies instead. Smooth move, Ex-Lax.
