Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Breakout Comedy of 2013 (888)
Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the new and hilarious series airing on Fox, Tuesday nights at 9:30, has quickly become one of America’s most popular sitcoms. The show has only been on since September and has already won not one, but two Golden Globe awards- one for Best TV Comedy Series, and one for Best Actor in a TV Comedy Series which went to Andy Samberg. Set in the 99th Precinct of New York City Police Department, a single camera follows the comical lives of Brooklyn’s finest detectives. It stars former Saturday Night Live member, Andy Samberg as immature but skilled Detective Jake Peralta, and his straightedge and stickler partner Detective Amy Santiago, played by the talented Melissa Fumero. Both Jake and Amy compete for the approval of strict commanding officer, Captain Holt, played by Andre Braugher, through cracking cases and going head to head in hair brained office competitions. Brooklyn Nine-Nine contains a fantastic supporting cast that includes Joe Lo Truglio as the kindhearted and awkward Detective Charles Boyle, Stephanie Beatriz as tough and mysterious Detective Rosa Diaz, and Chelsea Pertetti as the goofy and blunt administrator, Gina Linetti. The show also features Terry Crews, (who you may know from Everybody Hates Chris) as Sergeant Terry Jeffords.
The pilot episode opens with both Detective Peralta (Samberg) and Detective Santiago (Fumero) in an electronics store, questioning the owner, who is the victim of a robbery. Peralta is shown playing around with the merchandise in the background, while Santiago conducts most of the interrogation. After Santiago finishes, Peralta slyly announces that he has already solved the case, grabbing a teddy bear with a small camera installed in it off a shelf. He makes a few witty and pompous remarks to Santiago, as she rolls her eyes.
The next scene brings us to the 99th precinct’s morning briefing. Peralta confirms to the office that he has indeed cracked the
