I think a lot of people have taken my description of “edge” for me advocating that the show be dark, and I think that’s my fault. Because I think a show can be very light and happy like Brooklyn 99 and also have an edge to it!

Yes, I’m definitely in favor of at least one more season to tie it together and give it a proper finale.

.... you know Schneiderman was the Attorney General of New York State, not New York City, right?

Yeaaaaaaaaahhhh that seems unlikely. But. A lawyer does not lightly lie to a federal judge, even when not under oath.

I mean, it’s totally a fine line. But even Abbi and Ilana have conflicts! But by the most recent season of Brooklyn 99, the only way that the characters actually end up having conflicts is if the writers somehow make them do stupid, out of character things.

I am so jealous. I’ve only ever seen one in the wild once, and then it was just crossing a road extremely quickly.

Yes, games were already $50 by 1990, which when you adjust for inflation is the same as $98.35 in today’s money. In the last decade the average video game price has crept up to $60, but it’s by no means kept up with inflation. Video game price points have proven surprisingly sticky.

D’awwwwwwww.

Respectfully disagree! I think the show peaked around the third season and has been steadily declining in quality since then.

No, but wildly unrealistic sitcom situations absolutely can push a premise to the breaking point. There’s a difference between the gang getting out of a tight situation through a small out of fudging and the gang getting out of a tight situation through a massive plot hole that doesn’t make any sense. Sure, the comedy…

The most recent one was solid, as was Jake’s bachelor party. But that one that was just Jake and Holt in the interrogation room?

“That’s the one that killed my brother” made me crack up so hard.

Yeah, but it’s also only in its 5th season, whereas Parks and Rec lasted seven seasons. And it’s pretty close to where Parks and Rec was at this time during the 5th season (when there were a lot of annoying and pointless Jamm episodes but also some gems like Leslie’s wedding).

Yeah, I still watch all the new Brooklyn Nine-Nine episodes, but it’s gone from “OMG, new episode, let’s watch this now” to “I need a break from the latest show I’m binging... oh look, new episode, that’ll be a nice chill thing to watch.”

The effortless diversity of Brooklyn 99 is one of the main reasons it shouldn’t be cancelled. Reading Stephanie Beatriz’s story of crying when she found out Melissa Fumero had been cast before her because she thought that meant she didn’t get the part since obviously the show would only cast a single Latina, and then…

The show has definitely still had good episodes! But overall quality has taken a nosedive because when you remove all internal conflict in an comedy ensemble show, you have to make all conflict external... and since you’re five seasons in, most of the realistic external conflict has already been done and you end up…

Adoooorable.

I love Brooklyn Nine-Nine but I’m baffled by all the people saying the show’s quality has stayed the same over 5 seasons. It’s still a fun world to visit, but it’s in full-blown Parks & Recitis; there are almost zero stakes, almost all attempts at realism have been thrown completely out of the window, and the…

The “Source” being Don Jr.’s sentient chin, which left his face a long time ago out of shame.

I am extremely skeptical of the ability of self-driving cars to navigate Manhattan for a few reasons: A) there’s so much random construction that pops up on a daily/weekly basis that the idea that the city’s roads have been “mapped” is laughable, B) People double park or otherwise block roads constantly, to the point…
