Emergency! Reno 911! Canceled!

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Cancellations, Gossip

Reno 911!Time for tears. Cable’s favorite gang of bumbling cops is going off the air. Comedy Central has canceled the largely improvisational , truly one of the funniest shows ever to grace the small screen.

“Won’t be wearing the shorts again,” co-creator and star Thomas Lennon tweeted to fans. “Reno 911! was canceled at 1:30 pm today.”

The series recently finished airing its sixth season, which marked heavy casting changes for the first time in show history. New bits and new faces might have been a death knell for the show, which surprisingly (and still inexplicably) dumped three leading cast members last year.

Reno 911! was a Keystone Cops-type comedy set to a Cops documentary wherein cast members often talked to cameras. It was created by former members of the series The State and had very little scripted dialogue. It will be sorely missed.

MONDAY (6/29)

  • The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family, 8pm):  “Ben tries to figure out where he fits in Amy’s life.” Well, the role of babysitter is always open.
  • Jon & Kate Plus Eight (TLC, 9pm):  “Previously unseen footage of the Gosselin’s early years is featured.” Misty water-colored memories of the way they were….
  • Cake Boss (TLC, 10pm):  “Buddy creates an ornate wedding cake filled wtih live birds.” Watch out - that might not be fondant you’re eating.
  • Dance Your Ass Off (Oxygen, 10pm):  “Twelve plus-size contestants infiltrate Los Angeles in a competition to shed pounds by means of dance and diet in this 10-part unscripted series hosted by .” In other words, a cutthroat version of Sweatin’ to the Oldies.

Farrah Fawcett

(You can view TV Envy’s Programming Schedule here.)

MONDAY 5/11)

  • Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm):  “Serena’s run-in with the police upsets Lily.” She only expected her daughter to be cuffed and shamed, not frisked and strip-searched.
  • Weaponizers (Discovery, 9pm):  Season premiere. “An RV takes on a shuttle bus, after the teams equip them with rockets, machine guns and medieval weapons in this reality series featuring vehicle face-off competitions.” The only thing missing in this equation is .
  • Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9:30pm):  “Alan and Chelsea bond, and their time together gives Charlie a needed break to do the things he loves doing on his own.” A wingman can help you score a woman….and keep her busy too.
  • Medium (NBC, 10pm):  “After Allison slips into a coma while working on a case, her spirit transfers into the body of a middle-aged man (Jeffrey Tambor).” The sexual reassignment process was much easier than the one Alexis Arquette went through.

  • Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm):  “Charlie blows off steam by sharing a drunken night with Alan, Herb and his neighbor after Chelsea discovers nude photos of another woman on his cell phone.” Kinda makes you wonder what has on her ex.
  • Rules of Engagement (CW, 9:30pm):  “Jeff and Audrey lie to get out of Jennifer and Adam’s dinner party in favor of a better bash.” Fondue parties are so 5 years ago.
  • CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm):  “Ryan is kidnapped and forced to betray Horatio and the team.” Cue Horatio lowering glasses in disappointment.

American Idol

(You can view the whole Revamped TV Programming Schedule here.)

MONDAY (1/14)

  • Prison Break (FOX, 8pm):  Season resumes.  “Michael suffers the consequences of solitary confinement, Sona-style.”  I hate to think we left him in there these past few months.
  • Kyle XY (ABC Family, 8pm):  Second season resumes.  “Kyle returns to the Tragers to tell them truth about his existence.”  Maybe should consider stealing this show to fill their schedule.  Otherwise, I’ll never get around to watching it.
  • Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (FOX, 9pm):  Regular day and time.  “John grows restless and sneaks out of the house to track down Charley Dixon.”  Maybe they should have recast .  He would have filled this punk role perfectly.
  • CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm):  Actress guest-stars as Horatio’s ex and Kyle’s mother.  Wouldn’t it have made more sense if she was on the regular ?  Then they could have linked it back to her years.

The Funniest Shows on Cable

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV

Reno 911Need a cure for the rerun blues? Forget about network and don’t worry about repeats - if you’ve never seen the show, it’s not a rerun to you. Get acquainted with some of the shows you may not even know about…and in some cases, you might wonder how you ever got along without them.

TV offers plenty of diversion, and sure a lot of shows get repeated. But in the middle of a while studios scramble to find anything to put on the tube, those obscure (and hilarious) cable shows may just become the saving grace of evening TV watching. Check out four relatively obscure, yet hysterical, cable shows and find out just how fun reruns can be.

“Chappelle,” “Reno” in Syndication

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Cable, Syndication, Ratings

Dave Chappelle Ah, syndication—the promise land. Well, at least it gives fans of shows the opportunity to see their favorite episodes again, while picking up brand new viewers who might have missed the show the first time around. The latest shows heading for syndication in the fall are Reno 911! and Chappelle’s Show, both from Comedy Central. “The sitcom arena is always one that works well for stations, but there’s not as much product coming down the pike,” said Jim Packer, president of worldwide television distribution at MGM. MGM Studios has been in talks with stations to air the shows. “South Park has already broken the cable-to-syndication taboo and really proven that a show that works on Comedy Central can make it in syndication quite well.”

Reno 911! will be starting its fifth season on Comedy Central, with a film, Reno 911!: Miami, expected in February. Chappelle’s Show began in 2003, with the second season winning its time slot for men 18-34, and a DVD of season one going on to be the best-selling DVD of a television show. Chappelle left the show during the third season, with the final shows airing as Chappelle’s Show: The Lost Episodes.
