Reno Raines, a formerly well-respected policeman, is framed for the shooting of his girlfriend Valerie and the murder of another cop by Donald "Dutch" Dixon, and is forced to go on the run from the very law he used to uphold. Thus, his becomes a mission to find the evidence that will clear him; in the meantime, he works alongside noted bounty-hunter Bobby Sixkiller under the alias "Vince Black" to bring other criminals to justice.Renegade starred actor Lorenzo Lamas in the eponymous role, and ran for five years, from September 1992 to April 1997, for a total of five seasons, 110 episodes in all. Seasons 1-4 ran on broadcast syndication, with Season 5 airing on the USA Network. The series was one of several created and produced by the now-deceased Stephen J. Cannell, who also played Dixon.By the way, this series is NOT related in any way to the Technos Japan video game, nor with the Mass Effect/Command and Conquer fan-fiction story.

Walking the Earth: Reno has to keep on the move throughout the series. In "Murderer's Row", he says he sees a woman staying ahead of a Corrupt Corporate Executive on the same path and (citing, in conversation, no local friends, no chance at a family) believes that no one should have to have the same life.

Wrongful Accusation Insurance
 Renegade / int_2fbab42f
comment
Wrongful Accusation Insurance: Played with. A lot of the wrongfully accused people Sixkiller Ent. helped seemed to get off scot-free. Enough for Bobby to lampshade the Clear My Name plot when he sees that look in Reno's eye. In "Top Ten with a Bullet", they had to hunt down a fugitive murderer since the 60s. Reno helped the fugitive prove that the person he "killed" never died in the first place, which surprises even the fugitive. He thought he did kill his friend, but accidentally. He's sentenced to community service for evading justice, which, from what we see, means singing to kids. He doesn't seem to mind. We never get to see what would happen to Reno himself if his name were cleared, unfortunately.

Put on a Bus
 Renegade / int_754df088
comment
Put on a Bus: Cheyenne Phillips at the end of Season 4, replaced by Sandy Carruthers (played by Sandra Ferguson). The real-life reason was the split between Lorenzo Lamas and Kathleen Kinmont, who had been married in 1989 and divorced in 1993, but continued to stay civil for the sake of the show—until Lamas began a relationship with Playboy model Shauna Sand. In response to this, Kinmont went on The Howard Stern Show and slammed Lamas' new relationship; in response, she got fired by Lamas, who was at that time the show's executive producer. These links provide further detail.
