Is Wendi Mclendon-Covey back as Clementine in the new season of “Reno 911”?
Wendi McLendon-Covey (Clementine), Mary Birdsong (Dep. Kimball) and Carlos Alazraqui (Dep. Garcia) are out, Joe Lo Truglio and Ian Roberts are in. Nothing against the new guys, but I miss Clemmy, Kimball and Garcia. It has been tough to find out why “Reno 911!” is seemingly ruining a good thing, but McLendon-Covey posted this on her MySpace blog: Sources: http://www.premiumhollywood.
Clementine and Garcia were both part of the show since the beginning, and were often the most appealing characters on the show. The racial tension between Garcia and Deputy Jones (Cedric Yarbrough) was a fun plotline, and Clementine’s undercover pot bust at a head shop was one of my favorite scenes. Kimball came aboard in season three, and had her adherents, as well. With three cast members departing going into season six, there was reason to be skeptical that Reno 911! would be up to its scattered brilliance. Reviewing the DVD of this past season, though, it doesn’t seem like the quality has slipped. Five members of the cast are still in place. And Lo Truglio’s Rizzo is a great addition to the cast; his affair Trudy (Kerri Kenney-Silver) was a high point of the season. Rizzo’s checkered past was used to great effect on his first outing with Jones, andReno 911 Rizzo should come up again. Sources:
When I first wrote about the cast changes for season six of Reno 911!, a few readers were disappointed that their favorite deputies were killed in a tragic taco stand explosion. Clementine (Wendi McLendon-Covey), Garcia (Carlos Alazraqui), and Kimball (Mary Birdsong) all died, and were replaced this season with Deputy Frank Rizzo (Joe Lo Truglio) and Sergeant Jack Declan (Ian Roberts).
