Last week, FOX canceled police sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The Internet immediately exploded in protest. Then, speculation arose that another network could pick up the show. Eventually NBC announced that it would pick up Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and the day was saved.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been touted as one of the most consistent witty shows out there, and developed its devoted fanbase with clever writing, instant classic jokes, and an excellent cast. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the show looking to relive some of its greatest moments or just curious to see what all of last week’s commotion was about, the episodes below are required viewing.

Season 2 Episode 10 – “The Pontiac Bandit Returns”

No list of Brooklyn Nine-Nine episodes would be complete without at least one of Doug Judy’s classics. Judy, played by Craig Robinson, first appeared on the show as an elusive car thief matching wits with Peralta. As Peralta attempts to put Judy away, they discover that they’re more similar than Peralta would care to admit and lay the groundwork for future episodes together. Judy ultimately escapes Peralta’s clutches in “The Pontiac Bandit,” but he reappears for this episode. In “The Pontiac Bandit Returns,” Peralta and Judy work together to catch a criminal bigger than Judy. Andy Samberg and Robinson have excellent back-and forth throughout the episode as they work relentlessly to apprehend a supplier of the drug Giggle Pig, and it makes for lots of laughs.

Season 4 Episode 16 – “Moo Moo”

One of the show’s more serious episodes, “Moo Moo” broaches the subject of institutional racism in the police force. A white beat cop profiles Terry outside of his own home and proceeds to aggressively stop-and-frisk him. For a cop show whose two highest ranking officers are black men, it would be negligent to not have an episode dedicated to examining the racial issues that exist with police today. It’s difficult for such a funny and frequently goofy show to effectively cover such a topic, but Nine-Nine executes perfectly. Writer Phil A. Jackson and director Maggie Carey created an episode that delicately toes the line between comedy and drama without ever losing its Nine-Nine-ness. Terry Crewes and Andre Braugher turn in wonderful performances, and the show’s B-story of Jake and Amy attempting to discuss racial issues with Terry’s kids provides the otherwise serious episode’s comic relief.

Various Seasons and Episodes – Halloween Saga

You don’t http://aimhousepatong.com/item7164.html on line levitra want them to be an accidental collection, do you? Psychologists explain this in terms of self image.
It started in season one with Jake vowing to steal Captain Holt’s Medal of Honor before the end of the day. Since then, each Halloween episode has involved an internal heist. Each year the schemes become more elaborate, and the show relies less on the costume-infested staples of Halloween TV in favor of significant character moments and suspenseful action. The first Halloween episode also introduced the “name of Amy’s sex tape” gag, a fan-favorite running joke on the show.

Season 3 Episode 10 – “Yippie Kayak”

This episode brings Peralta’s constant Die Hard fantasizing to life as he, Boyle, and Gina get trapped inside a department store taken over by criminals on Christmas Eve. On top of the already compelling premise, nearly all of the show’s major characters take major steps in personal development by the end of the episode. Peralta comes to terms with the danger of his job, Gina proves herself as an asset to the detectives, and Boyle gets to be the hero for once. In the episode’s subplots, Terry stands up to his brother-in-law who also happens to be a rival cop, and Amy steps out of her comfort zone to join Rosa and Holt in the Polar Swim. All that within a 21-minute episode!

Season 2 Episode 12 – “Beach House”

As wonderful as the formulaic nature of sitcoms is, it’s always a fun change of pace when the characters switch settings and the premise of an episode breaks the mold typical to the show. That’s exactly what happens in “Beach House.” What starts as a fun, detectives-only retreat at Boyle’s beach house turns into a potentially disastrous dull and awkward weekend with the boss. Peralta, after hearing that Captain Holt’s sexuality always kept him out of similar events when he was a detective, invites Holt along. No one wants to do anything stupid in front of the Captain, so everyone (including the notoriously uptight Holt) struggles initially to cut loose. Once they do, it makes for great comedy.
