We’re not going to be the sort of TV reviewer here who puts down other specific series in order to build others up, but let’s start this “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” review by saying this: There are shows out there with significantly better ratings than this one that are only about a third as funny. Something seems […]
It’s very hard to make a show funny straight from the get-go, but this is something that Fox’s new “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” actually managed to pull off last week. It was wacky, well-written, and also gave us a great character right away in Andy Samberg’s Jake, a goofball cop forced to deal with a brand new […]

The moment we heard the cast list for Fox’s upcoming comedy “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” it was hard to feel anything other than excitement.
