Series Description

The Brooklyn Nine-Nine TV show is a 30 minute comedy series on FOX about a childish but skillful detective in the NYPD's 99th precinct whose antics are seldom appreciated by his strict and humorless precinct Captain. Along with his fellow detectives, they manage to keep the streets of Brooklyn safe while having a laugh or two ... or three.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Trivia:

In a very rare move for a crime comedy series, the main cast was given basic police and firearm training before shooting began!

Andy Samberg was not originally cast for his role on Brooklyn-Nine-Nine but when he left "Saturday Night Live" after a seven season run, they grabbed him right up!

Fox was eager to buy Brooklyn Nine-Nine after hearing the concept for the series. Creators Michael Schur and Daniel J. Goor pitched it as detectives who would interact in a way that is similar to the characters on "The Office" or "Parks and Recreation". It sounded almost like a sure winner!

Apparently, Fox executives chose wisely in their decision to take on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. For its first season the show won a Golden Globe for "Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy" and Andy Samberg won another for "Best Actor - Television Series Musical or Comedy"!

The police station you see during the transitions from one scene to another is a real one in Brooklyn. It's the 78th precinct located at 6th and Bergen.
