Thomas Lennon, who performed Lieutenant Jim Dangle on Reno 911!, says they could as properly make extra episodes in the event that they nonetheless have the uniforms.
The times of Reno 911! on Comedy Central might really feel like a factor of the previous, however we might not want a time machine to go to Dangle, Wiegel, Garcia, Jones, Johnson, Williams, and Junior. When Reno 911! first went off the air in 2009, that appeared to lock up the mockumentary spoof. However it bounced again with assist from all people from Quibi to Paramount+, who invested in it by way of new episodes and much more motion pictures. Practically three years faraway from the drive’s last shift, there is perhaps hope for extra of Reno’s most interesting.
Talking with MovieWeb, Thomas Lennon – who performed short-short-sporting Lieutenant Dangle (pun most undoubtedly meant) – stated that he expects much more Reno 911! sooner or later, joking, “I can’t imagine we wouldn’t do more Reno 911! because we already have all the outfits, which is basically the hardest part. You can tell that we don’t really overthink it when we do it. If anything, we really underthink it quite a bit.”
Lennon additionally famous that Reno 911! is timeless in a manner, due partially to simply how ridiculous – and constant (fashion-wise) – the crew is. “What’s neat to me to see, is that…we never really reference politics. We never really reference time. Reno 911!, in some ways, is like The Simpson, which is, the characters never grow up. They never mature. They never get better, they never learn anything. Like, every Reno 911! starts exactly at zero again, which is one of the fun things about it…We literally are a cartoon. We’re animated characters, except we’re alive.”
Personally, I’m down for as a lot Reno 911! as they’re keen to provide. Perhaps the 2021 and 2022 motion pictures – The Hunt for QAnon and It’s a Great Heist – didn’t absolutely stick, however these characters are simply an excessive amount of rattling enjoyable to show away from. Comedy Central is a little bit of a shell of what it was once, but when somebody desires to completely run with at the very least yet another season, you may rely myself and Reno 911’s legion of followers as in.
Are you prepared for extra episodes of Reno 911!? Do you assume there’s nonetheless an viewers for the present?
