Brooklyn Nine-Nine

[Tommy Bunz]

anyone else watching this shit? I just watched the first five episodes and its pretty amusing.
Sepinwall compared it to the first season of Parks & Rec and I can see the similarities....its from the same creators and it seems like once they iron out the kinks/figure out the characters it is going to be a pretty funny show.
Pretty great cast, Sandberg's doing the heavy lifting right now but Joe Lo Truglio, dude from Homicide, Terry Crews, that wierd nosed chick that Louie went on a date with in season 1...plus some rele saucy little hispanic chick.
I'm in for the season at least.

didn't realize chelsea peretti was in this. been meaning to catch up. are all the eps on on demand?

[Larry2times]

Watched the first ep, cast is the greatest (only got put up on chelsea peretti recently, shes the shit. the soccer mom character>>>)

I remember first season of parks&rec being kinda poor but idk, this seemed weak as fuck, might rough it out now knowing its the same people

[Larry2times]

Does Sandberg's partner/love interest get better? that wan wasnt funny for shit

[Vlad Analogue]

this show is

[LilLeftBrain]

i'm down for the season. it's been improving, last ep t-crews got some more shine and the partner lady delivered some comedy dog competently. joe la trugs pretty perfect for what he's been doing. first season p&r is spot on, tho from what i recall this has probably been better out the gate. saucy latina is real aprily

[LilLeftBrain]

peretti got a big butt & for some reason the line from the allstate dude last ep about the 2% being 'the hardest to get, that's why they keep in in the milk' has really stuck with me

[alpha]

started slow and has gotten a lot better. i'm in.

[Blockhead]

I'm into it. Peretti is the shit so I'm biased.

[ackbar]

started slow and has gotten a lot better.

truly. the last two episodes are so much better than the pilot

[Larry2times]

Yeah I cant imagine that many funny people not making it funny somehow eventually

[Tommy Bunz]

saucy latina is real aprily

Actually if anyone is April is Peretti (outsider who pretends to hate everyone). The P&R parallels don't stop there.... Main character who annoys the shit out of everyone but is actually good at their job, Homicide dude has a ton of the Swanson stoicism, there's even an office punching bag like Jerry (Scully).

He is Ryan O'Reilly, first and foremost.

[LilLeftBrain]

perhaps april got split b/w the two, can see it both ways

[LilLeftBrain]

wasn't real wild abou that halloween episode, despite hearing good to great things.

[WiCkEd22]

I really like this show! I'm always pretty entertained...

I love The Goldbergs too!!

[alpha]

bummmmmp.

Show has hit it's stride. Gotten really damn funny.

[Reason]

this show fucking rules

all the characters are vulnerable and likeable but also ridiculous enough to be caricatures in a way that just gets tons of laughs

and i never knew samberg's comedic timing/physical comedy could carry a show as a lead but shit, he is getting the job done

[Tommy Bunz]

yeah, you can tell they are trying to tone down Samberg's obnoxiousness though, and its a better show for it.
Craig Robinson cameo was fucking great.

[LilLeftBrain]

leo sporm, what a very john houseman name

perfect gif

Absolutely. Everything Mike Schur has been involved with is kinda atypical for standard network comedy in that the leads (Michael Scott, Leslie Knope, Jake Peralta) aren't just the straight men, and balancing them being clearly comedic leads without also venturing out into too bizarre/supporting-character craziness is always a challenge it seems. Brooklyn 99 has definitely gotten better at figuring that balance out, b/c it was way off in the first handful of episodes.

[alpha]

I think they're really letting the secondary characters get a lot of shine, which is a great thing

[Reason]

michael schur. you are a god amongst men. i fucking salute you

[ardamus]

Terry Crews as the gentle and psycho yet overly cautious cop is consistently the funniest shit to me on that show.

[ardamus]

"the statistical analysis......its so beautiful...."

[LilLeftBrain]

^hells yeah. liked the super bowl ep a lot. joe la trug and the flaming fringe was a beautiful thing in particular

[Tommy Bunz]

what super bowl episode? You mean the chiefs birthday party?

[Dan]

what super bowl episode? You mean the chiefs birthday party?

"The Party" was last night. After the SuperBowl there was a new episode that folllowed New Girl. It was a very funny episode, too. Had some great cameo appearances.

[Tommy Bunz]

Oh shit okay now I get it. Super bowl episode just means episode after the Super Bowl, not that the episode had anything to do with the actual game. I saw the Sandler one, was pretty damn good.
