Thomas Lennon was nominated as Reno 911’s Executive Producer for Outstanding Short Form Comedy Or Drama Series, and unfortunately, he did not win.
However, we are the true winners. That is because, after his loss, he modeled what he wore to the virtual Creative Emmys. He donned a tux on top, and his black Calvin Klein briefs below. Because who is going to see his sexy legs on Zoom?
You can say his look was like his former sitcom Odd Couple, but I think they go toegether perfectly like his chemistry with Matthew Perry on that show that was cancelled too soon.
Before everyone was stuck at home, Quibi announced that they are bringing back Reno911. Today, they released the first trailer for the revival that begins streaming daily on May 4th. It is like no time has passed since they left the force in 2009.
However, it has. Since then, Thomas Lennon, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Niecy Nash, Cedric Yarbrough, and so many more others from the sitcom have become big names of their own shows. Yet, when they are together, they are just the way they were, the most dysfunctional police force in the world. That is why we love them so much and are so happy they are back.
Comedy Central announced today that Quibi picked up Reno 911 for a seventh season, 10 years after the show ended its run. Robert Ben Garant, Kerri Kenney-Silver and Thomas Lennon will all write and star in the series but what about the rest of the original cast like Cedric Yarbrough and Niecy Nash? Wendi McLendon-Covey, who is also original, wrote that “the whole original cast will be involved.”
The Goldbergs actress also says she thinks the show will return in April. Since she and Yarbrough (Carol’s Second Act) are both currently working on broadcast sitcoms, I wonder how they will have the time to film new episodes. We will find out soon enough, along with all the other details.
While I never got into the show, I know so many people who are so excited about it coming back. Are you one of them?

Ever since The Odd Couple premiered in 2015, CBS has not done much to promote it. The first season it did OK. The second it did much better. So much so, that it shocked everyone and CBS ordered a third season.
Well the show that that spent it first two season as midseason replacement, debuted in the Fall this going around. It took a hit in the ratings. It was a big enough hit that CBS will only air the 13 episodes they ordered and not order any more new episodes for this year. Does that mean the Matthew Perry/Thomas Lennon starrer will not be back for a fourth season? Deadline says it is too early to tell.
Ever since Yes Dear, there has been one spare comedy that CBS keeps for filler. There’s been that one, Rules of Engagement and Mike & Molly. With all of those shows gone, I think that The Odd Couple should be their timeslot filler.
I love the show and it is the only CBS comedy that makes me laugh every week. If you haven’t seem it, you should check it out Mondays at 9:30p before it is too late.
Before Thomas Lennon was a Lieutenant on Reno 911!, he was studying to be a plumber in Aisle Six. How cute was the 22 year old in that 1992 student film?
