The Natural Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a comedy cop drama, I get a Police Academy meets The Naked Gun vibe to it. I've watched the show since it started airing in the UK and I really like it, I find myself laughing frequently. The thirteenth episode, The Bet aired last week and is one of my favourite episodes from the series with M.E. Time, Old School, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I like all the main characters particularly Detective Diaz and Administrator Gina Linetti. Thoughts on the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 The first season is already over in America. It has been renewed to another season though. I've constantly praised the show in the TV thread due to how constantly good it is. It's just fun, light hearted comedy. All of the main characters are likable and everything works so well together. the last episode of the first season was amazing and the perfect way for them to end it. It just leaves you wondering what will happen next and wanting more which was its purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I really enjoyed the first season. Sometimes Andy Samberg annoys me, but the rest of the cast is stellar. I love that Terry Crews isn't typical Terry Crews except for when the moment calls for it. It's the only show I watch on Network TV (although I've been told I need to check out Hannibal). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Dave Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Sometimes it's just fun to chuckle at silly people doing silly things. Reminds me of if the Muppets had a cop show. I'm glad they got a second season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 For me , the Andy Samberg character works as the guy who thinks he is funny. The humor comes from other characters not finding him as hilarious as he thinks he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scraylo187 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I enjoy this show in spite of Andy Samberg. It deserves some pretty big props for how diverse the cast is, and how well they handle that diversity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Dave Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I do think Chelsea Peretti is REALLY funny on this show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Oh I get a good chuckle out of this show, its really well written for a sit-com. Stephanie Beatriz is my dream woman, so yeah I kinda just watched it for her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincey Greene Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I don't mean to sound like a pretentious twat, but here goes... Besides just being funny, well written, snappy, etc, I like that the show is an accurate depiction of the multi-cultural nature of its setting without that ever being a topic. It's not just a bunch of whiteys and there are - gasp - Black and Latino characters who's characters have absolutely nothing to do with being Black and Latino. To my eyes, that's a very positive step and far more progressive than say Sofia Vergara on Modern Family. It's also funny and joyful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimoDANK Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I'm up to the season finale and I think it's a pretty funny show. Chelsea Peretti is hilarious in this show, she has some great lines. I love the lil flashbacks to Holts famous past arrests. Andre Braugher is the worlds greatest straight man. My one negative is I hate when shows like this fall into the trap of everyone has to be paired up in some terrible relationship story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 If Andre Braugher doesn't get at least an Emmy nomination for BSA-Comedy, there is no justice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scraylo187 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Andre Braugher is probably playing the best gay character on network TV right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalStriker Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Terry Crews is one of my favorite actors on network TV right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driver Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 For some reason I think of this as a sort of spiritual successor to Barney Miller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Last night's episode #16, The Party was particularly funny as the entire squad are invited to Captain Holt's birthday party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Last night's episode #16, The Party was particularly funny as the entire squad are invited to Captain Holt's birthday party. That episode was the start of one of my favorite recurring gags, "everyone finds Captain Holt hilarious except the members of his precinct". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 The Party was repeated again last night. If I've got to think about my two favourite moments from the series so far, it's probably Gina at the shooting range in The Vulture from episode five and Hitchcock offering his shirt to Boyle in The Party thanks to Hitchcock/Jeffords's reactions.

EVA Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 So here's an interesting development: The show is moving to Sunday nights this fall. Will air between THE SIMPSONS and FAMILY GUY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Outside of New Girl/Mindy on Tuesday, every weekday night on Fox is a procedural or a reality show. That's crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Episode #19, Tactical Village aired yesterday. One of my favourite episode as most of the squad do what the title of the episode says while Holt/Gina struggle with Kwazy Cupcakes. Surely this series will get a DVD box set release in the US/UK, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
