Shell — Fri, 18 Oct 2013 21:56:11 +0000

Brooklyn Nine-Nine will see a full season this year, Fox announced today, and will be joining New Girl after the Super Bowl in February.

The workplace, cop comedy stars Andy Samberg, Andrew Braugher and Terry Crews, and has been one of the fall’s better-reviewed comedies. The show is pitted against NCIS and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and hasn’t been performing as well as it could out of it’s Dads lead-in, but it definitely stands out amongst it’s in-genre competition and is deserving of a full season.

Fox’s giving the show the back nine shows their faith in the comedy, despite the aforementioned tough competition and less-than-desireable lead-in.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine will also air in February after the Super bowl with an episode of Fox’s other hit comedy, New Girl. The post-game lead-in is generally considered a sweet spot for a ratings boost, and offers the net a chance to promote the show more heavily midseason.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Series Premiere Spoilers: Meet the Captain

Shilo Adams — Mon, 16 Sep 2013 05:03:26 +0000

Detective Jake Peralta gets to act however he wants because of his impressive arrest record and talent at being good enough to skate by, the latter thanks to a series of captains who felt as if they couldn’t challenge him or run their precincts authoritatively. Now, though, he’s faced with the first real pushback of his professional career in no-nonsense Captain Ray Holt, bound and determined to make everyone do their job and present themselves in a way becoming to the precinct as a whole. After some initial rejection of the idea of growing up, though, Jake will likely begin to wonder if maybe he’s been lackadaisical around the office for too long and maybe the captain has a point that he should try to play the game, if you will, in order to earn the respect from his peers, superiors, and other colleagues. Will Jake find a way to balance who he is and who Captain Holt wants him to be?

Listed below are the dates, titles, and descriptions of the first two episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Tuesday, September 17th – “Pilot”
Detective Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) is a talented, but carefree police detective at Brooklyn’s 99th precinct who, along with his eclectic group of colleagues, are used to having a lax captain around the office. However, when tightly-wound Captain Ray Holt (Andre Braugher) takes over, he is determined to make this dysfunctional group of detectives into the best precinct in Brooklyn.

Tuesday, September 24th – “The Tagger”
When Jake is late for roll call, Captain Ray Holt assigns him to a graffiti case that Jake feels is below his level. However, when the culprit turns out to be the Deputy Commissioner’s son, the case becomes a major problem. Meanwhile, Gina’s (Chelsea Peretti) psychic friend visits the precinct and gets inside Charles’ (Joe Lo Truglio) head.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine airs Tuesdays at 8:30 on FOX. You can check out promos for the series here.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Series Premiere Sneak Peeks: The 99th Gets a New Captain

Shilo Adams — Mon, 16 Sep 2013 04:52:43 +0000

Detective Jake Peralta has never had to handle responsibility while on the job. Of course, he knows how to keep himself and his partner safe while they’re out of the office, but once he gets back behind his desk, it’s as if he overly relishes the idea of being silly and immature as a form of blowing off steam. It helps that he’s always had captains who look the other way or who don’t have the confidence to stand up to a detective with such an exalted record, but on the series premiere of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, from Parks and Recreation executive producers Dan Goor and Michael Schur, it looks like play time is over, as there’s a new captain at the 99th and he’s ready to make everyone – including Peralta – work.

As expected, Jake doesn’t take to the idea of having to be more professional around the office and immediately clashes with Captain Ray Holt, testing the boundaries of his new superior and trying to figure out just how much he can get away. But Holy isn’t like all the rest; he’s stern, focused, and expects Jake to respect the badge and his co-workers. Although Jake does want his records to speak for themselves and to be taken more seriously as an officer, it’ll be difficult for him to give up the image of the slacker detective, if only because it means he’s going to have to grow up and accept the fact that he’s not as young as he once was; but can Jake find a way to still be the fun and playful officer in the precinct while presenting himself in a more respectable manner?

The series premiere of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which also stars the likes of Joe Lo Truglio and Terry Crews, will air Tuesday at 8:30 on FOX. You can check out promos for the series here.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Promos: Welcome to the 99th Precinct

Shilo Adams — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 03:05:55 +0000

Several new promos for upcoming cop comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine have been released and in them, we see the impact that the new captain at the 99th Precinct has on Detective Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg), a skilled but ultimately coddled member of the force whose immature behavior has been enabled due to his sterling arrest record. However, once the 99th welcomes Ray Holt (Andre Braugher) as their new captain, things change and Jake may be forced to grow up after all.

Filling out the rest of the Precinct are Melissa Fumero (One Life to Live) as Detective Amy Santiago, Jake’s extremely competitive partner who isn’t happy to be paired up with someone so lackadaisical about their profession; Terry Crews (Everybody Hates Chris) as Sergeant Terry Jeffords, former badass of the squad who has pulled back on his case load and the amount of danger he puts himself in ever since his wife gave birth; Joe Lo Truglio (Superbad) as Detective Charles Boyle, far and away the hardest working cop at the 99th, though he isn’t the smartest, most physically fit, or bravest of the bunch; Stephanie Beatriz (Short Term 12) as Detective Rosa Diaz, the tough and rather opinionated object of Charles’ desire; and Chelsea Peretti (Kroll Show) as Gina Linetti, the busybody office manager.

Created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur (Parks and Recreation), the series premiere of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is set to air Tuesday, September 17th at 8:30 on FOX as a part of the revamped comedy bloc. You can check out the rest of FOX’s premiere dates here, as well as the network’s fall 2013 schedule here.
