Brooklyn Nine-Nine - Part 1

[Drizzle]

I think it was supposed to only last 13 episodes.

Gotcha, I was expecting it to go for 18 episodes like last season.

 

[NotNickFury]

Season finale tonight.

 

[terry78]

No they did not just name drop Jimmy Neutron.

 

[CaptainWagner]

This season was a blast, I'm bummed it's so short, but it likely would have ran into virus issues if production had gone longer.

Am I the only one disappointed that the Nutriboom plot never got picked back up? That felt like it was going to be a major arc - like the Major Crimes frame job or Pimento/Witness Protection. But then it just went away.

 

[DawnWarrior]

I wish they could do the next Halloween Heist as a standalone, like the Doctor Who Christmas episode, so they don't have to contrive yet another reason to push it to later. Just air that one all by itself in October, then start the season in the Spring. Simpsons used to start with Treehouse of Horror episodes all the time.

 

[carrrnuttt]

Holy crap.

That Holt/Jeffords dance routine had me spitting food out.

 

[Sawyer]

B99 hasn’t been shy about addressing real issues before, but I’m really curious to see how they’re going to deal with what’s going on right now.

 

[RockSP]

IF they do. As long as Crews has no script input lol.

Terry Crews Says ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ New Episodes Are Scrapped: ‘We Have To Start Over’ | Access

Terry Crews is sharing his personal experiences with racism in the midst of the Black Lives Matter movement.

The “America’s Got Talent” host joined Kit Hoover and Scott Evans for “Access Daily” for a virtual interview and opened up about the death of George Floyd, which sparked nationwide Black Lives Matter protests and heightened awareness about police brutality and racial equality for all in the United States.

“You’ve seen me, in movies or whatever but before all this, I was always a threat. I would be going to the mall or going different places. I’ve had guns pointed at me by police officers in L.A. This was before I was famous. The thing is, they had the wrong guy,” Terry explained to Scott and Kit.

“It’s something that every black man has been through and it’s hard to really try to get other people to understand. I have to say, right here, what is going on right now is Black America’s Me Too movement. We always knew this was happening, but now white people are understanding,” Terry shared.

“With that George Floyd video that came out it literally opened up the world because now you’ve experienced it and you have to go through the same trauma that Black America has been going through,” he continued.

Terry, who is a father of five, has been having ongoing conversations with his children about the racial injustices in America. However, Terry shared that he’s specifically concerned about his teen son when it comes to interacting with authorities.

“As a young black man, you’re not going to be treated as a 14-year-old, especially by the police,” Terry explained. “He was scared, I’ll be honest, it’s one of those things where he gets heart palpitations when a police car goes by. It’s not the same. He does not feel safe, there’s a threat feeling,” Terry continued.

“It’s hard, it’s hard, because a lot of kids right now from what they’ve seen and even after in the protests and some of the actions of police, it has not been good. I’ve talked to him about always, always, being conscience of who he is and where he is and always look out for his own safety,” Terry said.

The 51-year-old star also shared that the cast of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” has been having candid conversations about racism and how the Black Lives Matters movement has affected future episodes of the hit comedy. And they are planning to make changes to their upcoming season in order to amplify themes coming out of the movement.

“We’ve had a lot of somber talks about it and deep conversations and we hope through this we’re going to make something that will be truly groundbreaking this year. We have an opportunity and we plan to use it in the best way possible,” Terry revealed. “Our show-runner Dan Goor, they had four episodes all ready to go and they just threw them in the trash. We have to start over. Right now we don’t know which direction it’s going to go in.”

Terry sees the current Black Lives Matter movement as a chance for the world to come together for permanent change.

“This is an opportunity right now for us all to unite and get together and understand what this is and that we have to battle this together.”

Damn.

 

[Pennywise]

 

[Kaleb]

Honestly just cancel it.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Terry might just get it cancelled at this point.

 

[Pennywise]

Unfortunately, I also think they should cancel it!

 

[DarkKnight88]

Yikes, I don’t agree. Cancel it? If anything, they need to bring the humour now more than ever. They’re creative, thoughtful and most importantly funny.

 

[MadVillainy]

Yeah I don't think you need to cancel it. Or most cop related shows either.

 

[Zarex]

What about defunding it? Show the impact of defunding on the 99, and perhaps transition some of the cast into social service roles.​

That's a good idea. Or at least an interesting one on paper.

 

[Sithborg]

Cancel Blue Bloods, though. Please.

Didn't Holt serve as traffic cop for a bit after he was demoted?

 

[Drizzle]

I don't think they should cancel it but I can't see it going past more than one more season. It seems like they're having difficulty on how to approach the show in the current climate. Honestly, and I said this when it was cancelled at Fox too, it's had a good run. Even if it never came back it would have still finished on top without getting stale. The worst that can be said about it is that there was an unfillable void after Chelsea Perretti left the show.

 

[Zarex]

Didn't Holt serve as traffic cop for a bit after he was demoted?

Yes, but I would like to see the crew working alongside (and arguing with) social workers, drug counselors and the like rather than just have the crew all take lower ranking jobs.

And even that’s a stretch.

 

[DawnWarrior]

Cancel Blue Bloods, though. Please.

Oh yeah, definitely. I can't remember how long it took, but after a couple years it started to dawn on me: "Waitasec, I think this show is right-wing propaganda."

 

[Teelie]

I really do not see how cancelling it is going to help anything. Cancel it for what, being a cop show? There are so many worse shows out there truly deserving of cancelation that are still going strong. A huge chunk of "reality television" is far more detrimental than a cop comedy is.
