Will y'all continue to come into the thread to complain about the show?
TERRIBLE.
Brooklyn 99's gonna be the next great sitcom
- Thread starter phillycavsfan
- Start date
I thought this was a discussion..........
I disagree w/the title... I wouldn't have clicked it if it weren't so bold a proclamation
I thought that I asked you a question?
I didn't make the thread so you could have just @'d the OP to take it up with him.
Back to the discussion, this show is pretty damn good.

Yeah, this was one of the funnier episodes of the show. I enjoyed it more than the one that aired after the Superbowl.
The food critic that Boyle hooked up with
Really liked that **** was the funny one to everybody but Jake.
I really like how they played this up. All season long, they've shown Capt. **** to be stone faced and almost nondescript. Then at the party, he's known as the funny one in the realtionship to the point that Kevin is annoyed by it. When they were arguing towards the end he even says that "you have to be the funny one even when we argue." I think he even smiled a few times during the episode.Yeah, this was one of the funnier episodes of the show. I enjoyed it more than the one that aired after the Superbowl.

Did you catch the picture that Santiago had Terry paint in Kevin's office? I also liked how Kevin told Peralta to call him "Kev" to get at Capt. **** as well. Amy was too damn excited to be in his house and that had me dying.

Nah, I didn't catch the picture. What was it?
Speaking of Amy, I just saw her on some talk show and
Uncle_Ruckus
We The North
After watching last nights episode the party, not gonna lie the show seems to have found its footing and got some good laughs from me. Kevin was funny, remember him from parks and rec this season as jean ralphios dad's lawyer. He did a great job. and the cast did a good job bringing some well needed jokes for once.

Melissa Fumero Interview:
ESQUIRE.COM: First off, congratulations on the Golden Globe for the show.
MELISSA FUMERO: Thank you, I'm still processing it.
ESQ: That was like a month ago, come on.
MF: I know, I am really behind. I still look at pictures from that night on my phone. And am like, "Oh, yeah. That happened. Okay. That was real."
ESQ: You guys were underdogs.
MF: Total underdogs. We did not expect that to happen at all. All of our conversations leading up to the Globes, we were like, "We can't believe we are going. Maybe we will see so-and-so from our favorite show. What are you wearing? How are you wearing your hair?" That's all the conversation that we were having. Not one person on the cast was like, "Maybe we might win. This might happen." Did not expect it all. When Andy won we were just like so shocked and so happy for him. The entire table was crying after he won. And then we heard them say "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," we just all jumped up, and were totally stunned. You can kind of see it in our faces. I watched the telecast a couple days after. Joe is deep breathing on the stage. I am about to cry. All of us girls are clutching each other. Like, we were just so stunned.
ESQ: Were you guys as drunk as everyone says people are at that point in the broadcast?
MF: I don't think so. Joe and I went to the bar at one point. And it was kind of a long line to get to the bar. So we each got two drinks. So I was going real classy-style back to the table in my gown double-fisting two drinks. I don't think anyone at our table was too tipsy by the time our show got called. We were just all like talking and really watching the show and looking around. Like Terry Crews was freaking out because Bono was sitting pretty close to us, and he attempted to go up and introduce himself, but then would sit back down and would say, "No, no, no, I'll do it later. I'll do it later." We were taking pictures. We were pretty well-behaved.
ESQ: Is Samberg doing a lot of gloating on set now that he won best actor?
MF: [Laughs] Yeah, he's totally a diva now. He wears sunglasses up until the cameras are rolling. He's like, Don't look at me in the face. No, I'm just kidding. He was so stunned. One of my favorite moments that wasn't caught on camera, after they said his name, I whipped around and looked right at him. And his eyes bugged out and jaw dropped and his face got kind of white. He was totally in shock. And then he kissed his wife and that's when the camera cut to him. He didn't prepare anything. He forgot to thank his parents. He just rolled up there.
ESQ: Did you guys all party together afterward? You seem like a tight-knit group.
MF: Yeah, we are. We really all dig each other genuinely. We all went to the Fox party right after. And they had a nice couch waiting for us. And all the girls plopped on the couch because our feet were killing us by then. They had these big TV screens and played it back. And we all saw it for the first time. And we were like, "Oh my God, that happened!" We kind of hung out all night. At one point we all tried to go to another party and lost each other. I had a 6 a.m. call time the next day. I went to work on like 3 hours of sleep and completely worked on adrenaline. Then crashed halfway through the day. Then I had one more scene but didn't have any lines. Everyone was making fun of me because I was really hurting and struggling through it. It was sort of a rough, funny day for everyone. But we got the job done.
ESQ: You can see it on the show, that you are all have having fun together.
MF: We talk about it pretty frequently, the cast. Like, how lucky are we? That we all really enjoy each other and like each other. And I think it does make the work better because we have so much fun doing the show and working together and experimenting and improving. Just last week we were shooting an episode. We were doing some stunts. So there was a little bit of downtime. The whole cast was sitting in our chairs and we all ended up moving chairs as we were talking. And all the chairs ended up in a circle. I sort of had this moment where I was like, "How fricking cool is this?"
ESQ: Except Samberg, who's just too cool.
MF: It's true. He was getting a mani-pedi the whole time. His chair was just slightly turned out. Like he was still inside the conversation.
ESQ: Between him and Joe Lo Truglio —
MF: When I saw Joe Lo Truglio got cast in the show I flipped out. I didn't tell him that until we were done shooting the pilot, because I wanted to play it cool. And then we were done with the pilot and I was like, "By the way, I am a huge fan. I am so excited you are on the show. This is amazing. You are really cool." Sent him this totally dorky text.
ESQ: We talked to Stephanie Beatriz when the show premiered. She talked about living in Brooklyn before she even got the job. Have you spent much time in New York as well or are you strictly LA?
MF: No, I'm an East Coast girl. I grew up in New Jersey right outside of the city. I moved there when I was going to college. My parents' house is right by MetLife Stadium.
ESQ: Are you a Jets or Giants fan?
MF: I don't really follow football. But by association of friends I would say Giants. Yeah, I'm a Giants a fan. Which, the Giants won the Super Bowl when I first got to LA. And I got my first car that day the Giants won the Super Bowl. I was like, this is a good sign. Things are going to go well here.
Stepahnie Beatriz Interview:
ESQUIRE.COM: So far, so good, right?
STEPHANIE BEATRIZ: I have no complaints.
ESQ: I noticed the 917 number. Are you from New York?
SB: I lived in New York for a long time. Right after college I went there. So I got my first cell phone in New York. Back when you would flip the phone up. Way back when.
ESQ: I have to admit, my phone still does that, so...
SB: Oh my God. You got to update, bro.
ESQ: It's only a little embarrassing. Brooklyn Nine-Nine is going really well. You're picked up for a second season. And what a great ensemble of a cast.
SB: I've been lucky enough to be part of some great ensembles in theater — I'd been doing theater since college. I think Alison Jones, who was the casting director for the show, she's just very talented at what she does. Something caught her eye, so I don't know. I made it in.
ESQ: It's the range that's so crazy. From someone like Andre Braugher to Andy Samberg.
SB: Andre went to Julliard, he's classically trained to the hilt, and he's played almost every great Shakespeare role. And then you've got Andy who is as witty as fk and is firing on all cylinders from his time on SNL. And Terry [Crews], and Joe [Lo Truglio]. And Chelsea [Peretti]. Everyone's pretty amazing. Even the guys that are playing slightly smaller roles, like Joel [McKinnon Miller] and Dirk [Blocker] who play Scully and Hitchcock.
ESQ: The schlubs.
SB: Yeah. Both of them have had amazing careers. I remember telling my friend that Joel was on the show and he just flipped out. "Oh my God! Did you see his work in Big Love? He's the only reason I watched the show." It's pretty incredible.
ESQ: Were you intimidated by any of those guys coming in? Just standing near Andre Braugher—
SB: He's not intimidating in the least. I do a lot of laughing at my own self in life, so I think I come at things with a pretty easygoing view. I mean Andre Braugher sings at the top of his lungs in his dressing room. The other day I heard him baby-talking to his dog in a weird Andre Braugher way. Like, "We're going to go outside and urinate all over this mother." He's such a weirdo. He's obsessed with work, right? With making things as good as possible, and in the greatest way. He's always suggesting or looking or thinking. He's a total nerd. He writes his name on the top of his sides. It's cute.
ESQ: He seems so actor-y and the show seems like such a loose set.
SB: He screws around with the best of them. Andy was saying the other day that he made Andre bust up and it was his finest moment so far on set because Andre just lost it. He comes with a reputation, I guess, but I honestly think he might be kind of shy. And that might be why people are intimidated. He's so talented and he's also so quiet.
ESQ: Did you watch Homicide when you were younger?
SB: No. I think I was at the age where I wasn't really allowed to watch that show. But I remember watching Colombo a lot with my dad. That was one of the first detective shows I remember watching. And I remember my dad turning to me — my dad loves to turn to me and explain why things are funny. He used to do that with Seinfeld all the time. He did it with Colombo, too, set the scene.
ESQ: Samberg's reputation must have preceded him before you got on set.
SB: I will say that Andy as a person is not intimidating, but I am a huge Lonely Island fan. Like huge. So that was intimidating. In the beginning I would think of him only as part of that collective. It was very, "Ah! I'm going to meet him!" I mean I know all the words to "I'm on a Boat." I told him that on the first or second day of shooting the pilot. I was like, "I'm totally a Lonely Island fan." I'll set the alarm on my phone and it will say, "Get the fk up. This boat is real." I shared that with Andy and he was really sweet about it. He was extremely, honestly flattered that I liked the band and what they do. I thought that was really a great sign, because I didn't know him at the time. But I immediately felt like he was a really great guy. The fact that he worked so hard on something to make something good and then when somebody likes it, he feels genuinely good about it and shares that genuinely good feeling with me.
ESQ: Have the other Lonely Island guys been on set?
SB: Jorma [Taccone]'s actually directing the tenth episode. Again, the other day he was there and I was like, "Hi!" Super-nerding out. "I'm so happy you're here. I love your band." But he's also down-to-earth, super-cool. That's probably why they're so successful. They're not a$$holes. They're really great dudes.
ESQ: If you're writing a song about jizzing in your pants you can't be too full of yourself.
SB: Exactly.
ESQ: Well, you've spent some time in New York, so you clearly know Brooklyn-Brooklyn and not TV-Brooklyn. There's got to be some pretty distinct difference between the two.
SB: Well, I lived in Park Slope, which is probably one of the most homogenized areas of Brooklyn. No offense to Park Slope. That was my third apartment in Brooklyn. My second apartment was na-ha-nasty. It was behind a chicken-processing plant, so it smelled horrible. There are lots of different sides to Brooklyn. It has so much character. Definitely those two things made up Brooklyn's personality, right? Beautiful and soft and sweet by day in Park Slope, and a chicken factory smell at night.
ESQ: Where was this chicken factory?
SB: It was in Bushwick somewhere. I'm sure it was not legit. It was horrible. Shortly after living there I became vegan. I was like, Ugh, I can't. I'm not vegan anymore, but I had to be for a little while because of the chicken factory. I was only there for a month because I couldn't handle it. Spend two days smelling a chicken-processing plant and it'll be a real intense experience.
ESQ: You had to know what you were getting into.
SB: Oh, no. I'm sure I found that apartment on Craigslist or something. There was no lease situation. You know, when you're 22, 23 living in New York, you're just scrambling to live on people's couches and in rooms that you're sure you're not supposed to be in. You're not on the lease, you're paying weird amounts of money every month trying to make it happen.
ESQ: And now you're a cop in Brooklyn.
SB: Now I'm a fake cop in Brooklyn. I had to move to L.A. to get a job in New York.
ESQUIRE.COM: So far, so good, right?
STEPHANIE BEATRIZ: I have no complaints.
