When I first wrote about the cast changes for season six of Reno 911!, a few readers were disappointed that their favorite deputies were killed in a tragic taco stand explosion. Clementine (Wendi McLendon-Covey), Garcia (Carlos Alazraqui), and Kimball (Mary Birdsong) all died, and were replaced this season with Deputy Frank Rizzo (Joe Lo Truglio) and Sergeant Jack Declan (Ian Roberts). Clementine and Garcia were both part of the show since the beginning, and were often the most appealing characters on the show. The racial tension between Garcia and Deputy Jones (Cedric Yarbrough) was a fun plotline, and Clementine's undercover pot bust at a head shop was one of my favorite scenes. Kimball came aboard in season three, and had her adherents, as well.
Move over Super Troopers, Comedy Central's Reno 911! will be coming to a theater near you. Paramount
and 20th Century FOX are co-producing the flick, which is going to be called Reno 911!: Miami. Oh, that's a
good title! Series co-creators Robert Garant, Thomas Lennon and Kerri Kenney, who also star in the series, are penning
the script, which is described as being largely improvisational. Kinda like the show. In the movie, the entire Reno
sheriff's department goes to a police convention in Miami during Spring Break (who's manning the station back at home?
who cares!), where a bio-attack is launched on their hotel. I wonder if they'll still bleep out the profanity and blur
the nudity, since it's shot in the style of a cops show. It starts shooting January 23rd in LA and Miami.
