• Reno 911 on WGN this fall
  

  Filed under: Other Comedy Shows, Syndicated, Comedy Central, Reno 911!

  I mentioned not too long ago that Reno 911! would be going into syndication, and it looks like Superstation WGN has picked up the series for its late night comedy block this fall that will also include Scrubs, Becker and Corner Gas (a Canadian sitcom). WGN has acquired the first three season of the improved series for a two-year run. The series finishes off its fourth season on Comedy Central starting April 1, and it has been picked up for a fifth season, as well.

  I think Reno 911! should translate pretty well to...

  Reader Amy asked us if it was true that an early screening of Reno: 911 Miami was showing in Seattle. I immediately checked every site I could think of to find information, and came up empty. Thankfully, our sister site Cinematical did find some information, and yes, RENO: 911 MIAMI IS SCREENING FOR FREE TODAY in Seattle, Boston and Phoenix. Click here to see where exactly. According to Cinema Blend, all showings are at 7:00pm, and one deputy from the series will be at each event. I recommend you call...
  




• Comedy Central wants you to see the new Reno 911 movie - VIDEO

  In order to get everyone jazzed up for Reno 911: Miami, which hits theaters on February 23, Comedy Central will be airing "Reno Goes Hollywood," a Reno 911! marathon airing from noon to 6:00pm on Saturday, February 17.

  Also, on February 19 at midnight, Comedy Central's Reel Comedy special will feature a behind-the-scenes look at Reno 911: Miami hosted by the cast. In the feature film, Reno's finest attend the American Police Convention in Miami and take to the streets after an infectious disease quarantines the entire Miami police department. I've placed the trailer after...
  




• Reno 911 and Chappelle's Show going into syndication
  

  Filed under: Other Comedy Shows, Syndicated, Comedy Central, Reno 911!

  If you don't have Comedy Central, you just might have a chance to catch two of the network's series anyway when both Reno 911! and Chappelle's Show go into syndication this fall. Of course, one would assume these episodes will be edited for syndication, either for content or to sandwich in more commercials, which is one of the reasons I never bother to watch the syndicated version of South Park. Still, it's another chance to catch these shows, and that's not a bad thing at all. The two series are the first to be syndicated...
  




• Stewart, Colbert clips now on iFilm
  

  Filed under: Industry, The Daily Show, Web, The Colbert Report, Comedy Central, Reno 911!

  Now that Comedy Central has pulled all its Daily Show and Colbert Report clips from YouTube, they've been quietly popping up over at iFilm. For some reason, there has been no publicity on the part of the network or the website. iFilm is owned by Viacom, which also owns Comedy Central. So, you see how that works.
  
  The clips that are appearing on iFilm are primarily from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. They're uploaded in about three-minute segments, but there are...
  



• Reno 911! movie trailer is hilarious
  

  Filed under: Other Comedy Shows, TV on the Bigscreen, Comedy Central, Reno 911!

  Those of you who saw Borat last weekend probably also saw the incredibly hilarious trailer for the Reno 911! movie, called Reno 911: Miami. In the film, the team goes to Miami for a law enforcement convention and then ends up taking over for the Miami PD. From Dangle's short shorts to Wiegel's trash-talking on the beach... you're gonna love it. Plus, the whole cast of MTV's The State makes an appearance. The trailer is now up exclusively on Australian Yahoo! and it plays kinda crappy on a Mac (where's the...

• Unleash the Balls of Fury
  

  Filed under: Other Comedy Shows, Web, Celebrities, Reno 911!

  Sorry, I know Comic-Con has come and gone and we've all gone back to our boring, mundane lives, but I just found this great clip featuring Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon of Reno 911! and The State talking about their upcoming ping-pong movie, Balls of Fury. In the midst of a Q and A, a man approaches the mic and begins to chastise the two actors for daring to mock the game of ping-pong. I'm not positive, because it's difficult to get a clear look at the man's face, but I believe it's comedian Chris...
  



• Reno 911!: The Investigation Continues (season finale)
  

  Filed under: Other Comedy Shows, OpEd, Comedy Central, Reno 911!

  (S04E07) After taking a week off for the William Shatner Roast, Reno 911! returns for the season finale, and we finally get to find out who it was that murdered Sheriff Chechekevitch with peanuts.

  While the gang tries to figure out who did it, they also have to attend to the usually police business, which includes confronting a man at a carnival with a stage built into the front of his pants that hides what he refers to as an albino snake that "grows rigid in your grasp." Jones and Garcia can't see nor touch it...
