Brooklyn Nine-Nine

[Ribs]

Yeah, I guess, but I don't know if this show requires a treatment like New Girl or Parks and Recreation or something where they just have a shorter last season wrapping every thing up and leaving no stone unturned. Which is what would happen. This can just end! I'm fine with it. Five years is a nice run.

What if Criterion Forum is actually a TV show that got canceled 5 years ago without being told?

Seems like something that might get a shot on another network. It doesn't have great ratings but it's not a disaster, and the audience it has is pretty consistent and seems like they'd be willing to follow it. I guess it depends on whether that's legally possible and how badly those involved want to keep it going.

At any rate, I just started watching it when TBS started syndication, and I pretty much love it. It's done a good job of keeping its characters evolving without either making them parodies of themselves or changing who they are altogether - even Gina, who seemed like a crude caricature in the early episodes, has been developed in a way that I think is clever and interesting.

I dunno, maybe it's best to quit while it's still good, but I feel like there's still life in it.

NBC, TBS, Hulu and Netflix are already in the mix, showing interest in picking it back up.

[The Narrator Returns]

NBC has picked it up for a 13-episode season 6.

From the beginning I wondered why NBC didn't have it in the first place, since it was from their production company and Samberg was just leaving SNL.

[Andre Jurieu]

Hopefully they will pair it with The Good Place.

NBC bumped up the episode order to 18

Nice. Although presumably it’ll still be too late for a Halloween episode.
