Reno 911 Season Six Cast Change

Everyone loves Reno 911!, it is a funny show but the plot has always played around and hasn't ever been linear. Season Six has two new cast members, who are part of The State and are no strangers to the show, they have made cameos before. The new cast members are Detective Sergeant Jack Declan (Ian Roberts of the Upright Citizens Brigade, who has gotten fatter) and Deputy Frank Rizzo (Joe Lo Truglio). For some reason, Clementine Johnson (Wendi McLendon-Covey), James Garcia (Carlos Alazraqui) and Deputy Kimball (Mary Birdsong) have not returned. On the premiere episode, Dangle claims 'some officers' died in a blaze or something, and that's it, no names mentioned or anything. There was one scene with Wiegel and Dangle are trying to figure out who they were--something about an Asian guy. No reason has been given to why the cast members have left the show, they are still on the website.

Since you asked....
Hi everyone!
Recently I've been asked the same questions over and over, so I thought I'd better just address the subject here so I don't have to keep writing individual messages about it. No, I'm not on Reno 911 anymore. No, I didn't leave on my own. No, I didn't see it coming. No, I wasn't the only one who was dismissed. No, it wasn't because we weren't doing a good job - in this business you don't necessarily get hired because you're good, and you don't necessarily get let go because you're bad.
Yes, I was on the set of THE OFFICE when I found out. Yes, I was disappointed at first, but as Sophia Loren used to say, "Don't cry over anything that won't cry over you." Five seasons and a movie was a good run, and I'm surprised that it lasted that long. I'm grateful to have been a part of the show but believe me, it was really time to move on and play other types of weird women - maybe someone who wears a turtleneck! We wrapped season 5 in April of 2007, so I've been away from the show for 2 years. It's a distant, bittersweet memory now.
So thanks to all of you for liking my character! Thanks for being so sweet to me.
xoxoxoxox, Wendi

QUEEF

South Park has had many episodes on gender issues, double standards and feminism. Tonight we had quite a enlighting episode, for South Park standards, this episode was about double standards and what South Park had be complained about for years. There hasn't been much farting on the show lately, but it was a good episode. Terrance and Phillip was created because many thought the show was just farting, so they made T & P--which is all farting. South Park is the first and only show to bring 'queef' to the lexicon, a vaginal air fart. So, this episode was about men becoming disgusted about queefing and not seeing the difference between that and farting. On top of that, the episode lampooned how they did a April Fool's joke ten years ago with part 2 of revealing who was Cartman's father. Good ep, maybe a bit dated but with being queefing back, that is yet again taboo and cutting edge, how some 'Man' things are ridicilous but because a man likes it, it's cool and fine but when a woman does it, it's wrong. Yay South Park writers!

Did I just see Porn on Adult Swim?

Last night, I was about to turn off the television when I stumbled upon... porn on Adult Swim? I kept waiting for the punch line but there was no punch line, which happens sometimes on live-action Adult Swim programming. I only stayed up for a half an hour after Midnight, then a Tim and Eric Segment started, I am not a Tim and Eric fan, so I turned off the TV because I was sleepy. Today I find out this was brought on by Tim and Eric. It was actually a movie that aired on and on until 5:30am called "The Room" directed and starring Tommy Wiseau. It was a pretty soft-core porn, about Lisa (Juliette Danielle) who is to marry Tommy's character Johnny but has jitters and has sexual encounters with other men. Basically her bare breasts are covered with a big black box and sometimes the boxes got bigger and moved around for comedic effect. Even Tommy's ass was covered! There was a real hot guy there... Greg Sestero.

Two clips on Adult Swim

Someone on Wikipedia says:
After a brief run in Los Angeles, the film went on to develop a cult following in the city, because of its perceived unintentional humor. It continues to have monthly midnight screenings. Wiseau promotes the film as a black comedy and insists that the “unintentional” humor is intentional, although audience members generally doubt this. On April 1, 2009, the movie aired on Adult Swim at midnight and 2:30am EDT as the programming service's annual April Fool's joke.

Dollhouse Episode 6: Damn Good

Dollhouse has been good but it has gotten Whendon-good, supposedly this is the last epiosde that the FOX network has tampered with. Thank god it hasn't been canceled yet, "Wonderfalls" only lasted 4 episodes. It has the Whedon-ian twists. The detective in search of the Dollhouse has finally fond Echo face to face, but she is programmed to be Patton Oswalt's wife. He is always delightful to watch and the go-to guy to be a prick. Anyhoo, the trail goes cold and Ballard hooks up with his plus-size neighbor Mellie who has been flirting with him. In the Dollhouse, while Victor has been getting boners for Sierra, there is suspicion she has been raped. Echo's father-like keeper finds out it is Sierra's jackass protector and he is punished... by being assigned to kill Tahmod's neighbor... SPOILER ALERT in white

So in a turn of events, while Echo is sent to distract Agent Ballard while Sierra's handler is sent to kill Mellie but the catch is that Mellie is actually an active and is activated to kill the rapist employee. Just like Victor's actor Enver Gjokaj was originally said to be hired as Victor, then then revealed to be Lubov, but then hired to be Victor. Joss Whedon has stated about Miracle Laurie (Mellie) that "the show simply moves too fast now for me to do what I wanted with her". He has hinted, however, that the character November may emerge later in the series.

Cool Show.
