Unofficial Announcement: RENO 911! Clementine Johnson to Visit Troops Overseas. (Corrected)

Think of it as an unofficial announcement, RENO 911! cast members are scheduled to visit The U.S. Troops overseas. The cast members will be reunited for the first time in character after the show was cancelled this past Summer 2009. Yes, the reunion will include Deputy James Garcia and Deputy Cherissa Kimball. No words yet if Deputy Clementine Johnson will partake in this reunion.

Thank You to all members af U.S. Troops. It’s a small Thank You for all of you.

Stay tuned for more news on this.

Apologies for those who read the post earlier, as I heard it wrong. What it’s supposed to say:

RENO 911! cast members to reunite in San Francisco this January 2010 sans Wendi McLendon-Covey. Wendi will not be joining the RENO 911! reunion because she will be visiting the Troops overseas at the same time.

Stay tuned for more.

RENO 911!: The Complete Sixth Season DVD Set

RENO 911!: The Complete Sixth Season DVD Set was released on Tuesday July 7th, preempting the Season 6 Finale that was due on Wednesday July 8th. The two-disc set contains total of 15 episodes from the “shocking” season premiere episode to the season finale episode.

RENO 911!: The Complete Sixth Season DVD Set from Amazon.com

RENO 911!: The Complete Sixth Season

Season 6 starts with no mentions of the presumably killed Deputies. Fans are crying foul over the absence of Deputy Johnson, Deputy Kimball and especially Deputy Garcia (played by Wendi McLendon-Covey, Mary Birdsong and Carlos Alazraqui respectively). Enter Seargant Jack Declan and Deputy Frank Rizzo (played by Ian Roberts and Joe Lo Truglio respectively).

Fans of the show are divided in two, those who still like the show and those who now hate Season 6.

I am planning to buy the DVD set for two particular episodes. The first one with George Lopez and Jill-Michele Meleán. The second one with the tribute for Garcia involving some explosives and a canon.

There is no official word yet about the Seventh Season.

Disclaimer 1:

I have done a few projects with Carlos Alazraqui and plan to continue doing so. In addition to that I am also working with Jill-Michele Meleán who plays Maria Garcia (James Garcia’s Sister) and Gloria (Mayor Hernandez’s girlfriend in Season 6 Episode 8).

If you bought anything through Amazon link above, and I get some kickbacks.

Carlos Alazraqui: Obama and World Peace.

For all RENO 911! fans, Season Six premiere was not an April Fool’s joke. Yes, your favorite Deputy is no longer on the show. Deputy James Oswaldo Garcia was implied to be killed at the taco stand explosion at the end of Season Five.

A gift for all Deputy James Garcia fans and for all Carlos Alazzrqui fans: a sneak peek at Carlos stand-up video recorded back in December 2008. Wish you all were there. A snippet about President Obama and World Peace.

Mind the rough edit and color quality. This is something that we slapped together early on.

If you want to know why your favorite deputies were killed off the show, send your complaints to Comedy Central here. Don’t forget to select “Reno 911” as the topic.

Rocko Diggs Digg

Carlos Alazraqui, the man behind the voice of Rocko (Rocko’s Modern Life) and the face behind the moustache of Reno 911!’s Deputy James Oswaldo Garcia, diggs Digg. During recent appearance at Cobbs Comedy Club in San Francisco (December 12 & 13, 2008), Carlos was wearing green Digg t-shirt.

In November 2008, an article titled “The Faces Behind TV’s Cartoon Voices” made Digg front page. Comments like this one and this one show how popular Rocko was. Add Reno 911!’s James Garcia, Family Guy’s Mr Weed, and the Taco Bell Chihuahua to Carlos Alazraqui’s resume, he is a legend.

Rocko is giving the love back to Digg!

Special thanks to Laura for taking the pictures and Carlos for the permission.
