Let's be thankful that the Guardians of the 99 (Mark Hamill, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Guillermo del Toro, Sean Astin and Seth Meyers) saved the show from cancelation.
@@aman.s07They were the celebrities who spoke out in support of Brooklyn Nine-Nine after the cancelation announcement and therefore brought a lot of attention to the show. This, in turn, put pressure on another network to pick it up and keep the show running.
Something amusing in season 5 was the whole "Will the precinct be shut down" mini arc, which had to be filmed long before the whole cancillation drama, but with the way it ends, it echos it perfectly.
@@dauf69 I am finishing the show and when I got to that part I had to look up what happens because I was so upset with her, is a good arc but I felt so bad for Rosa and Jake
I saw the title and immediately knew it’d be about seasons 4 or 5 and I’m so glad I was right! This show is my favorite ever and I love these characters so much. Finding out that season 5 was essentially their attempt at a Hail Mary makes so much sense to me Thanks for the laughs Andre we love you forever 🐶👨🏿✈️🏳️🌈
I love B99, it’s really my comfort show and it’s one of the only shows I’ve watched in full multiple times. I agree that seasons 4 and 5 were the best, although I don’t dislike any seasons. The final season was controversial but I still liked it, it’s just such a great show!
The final season was pure fan service and while some of the moments felt forced (The "bone" reprisal with Cheddar was TERRIBLE imho, and the reference to the line-up Backstreet Boys wasn't much better), every major character arc was finished in a meaningful and satisfying way, and there were some great moments, like Captain Holt & Kevin's kiss, the final heist, and even the final scene.
Season 5 was an absolute beast, Out of the 22 episodes it has 17 absolute banger of an episodes with only 5 episodes not really matching the rest's quality and even then were really good. Big House, Kicks, Bad Beat, 99, Game Night, Favor, Safe house, The Box, The puzzle master, Show me Going, Jake and Amy. Man it was like an Exhibition match for the whole series, where they absolutely brought in one masterpiece after the other
The I Want It That Way cold open is probably the most iconic moment of the series. And considering the number of iconic moments that's saying something.
Season 5 might be the perfect season, but the series finale for me is the peak of the show, simply because it's not nearly as hard hitting without the show that came before it. When Jake shares that look with Amy across the room as he says quitting wasn't a hard decision, or Holt telling him he's proud of him... Chills. Literal chills
I think every great show has its penultimate season if it runs long enough. Season 4 of B99 was incredibly entertaining (the Witness protection storyline, the Night Shift effect, the Judy tie-in to the hostage escape, Moo-Moo, Holt's Mom etc.) but Season 5 definitely hit differently. On a rewatch, I love how they didn't overplay Jake and Amy's engagement throughout the season - allowing the other characters to breathe more in the roles and providing the emotional connection the squad had built over the years (as mentioned in the video) to flow through.
I still remember binging the last season, late into the night until the am, and going through the whole whirlwind of emotions that the last season brought the second I found out it had been released. That was before I would keep up with the premieres of shows but I have never binged a show as obsessively as I did that, unable to stop watching. So many incredible scenes and arcs and a last episode that made my heart sing with love for the show and grief that it was over. This show covered topics so important, touched the lives of many, and forever changed the lyrics of I Want It That Way
*my season 5 highlights:* 1. Ep. 13 (the box) my favorite episode of the entire series 2. nOw NuMbEr FiVe 3. the best of all halloween heists (imo) 4. taking down Hawkins 5. ep.9 (which is basically one storyline with the whole squad and not them dividing for individual adventures. also jake with the nakatomi plaza and Holt sabotaging their journey)
Even my kids love this show. To this day when I get home from anything my son pops.aroundnthe corner and says "you're six minutes early...IN CHICAGO." Thank you Captain Holt!
i love so many moments in the show, but god damn holt's moment with rosa at her apartment after she came out was delivered so well. it resonates with me and i wish i had heard it when i was growing up
“The only way I’d die is if you grab my leg dragging me down into the river Styx you reaper!” ~ Raymond Holt Madeline Wunch won she did it 😢 rest in peace Andre you were perfect I will always watch Brooklyn 99 forever and always to honor your character Captain Ramond Holt Brooklyn 99 wouldn’t be what it was without you we all love and miss you NINE NINE!!!
3:52 I didn't see it coming but upon a rewatch, I noticed that rosa called Tonya Harding (I think) "thicc" long before she came out. I wondered if they were laying the groundwork for that early on. I don't remember which, but it was one of the pre-season 5 vulture episodes, possibly the first one
Season 5 was the perfect season, had the perfect episode and perfect ending. I remember the cancelation announcement and honestly I was sad but felt relieved because the show ended perfectly, but when it got renewed I was happy as well
4:19 you didn't mention Rosa's friendship with Charles!! in s1, cause he likes her, their relationship is very strained. when Charles started dating Vivian, things are just kinda weird until that episode (I think it was called windbreaker city?) when it's resolved. they then become better friends. but then it ends up being Charles that she comes out to first. I think that was such a great decision because it solidifies their friendship and that they aren't just friends, but trust each other a lot. idk I may be looking too much into this cause I've watched the show several times, I just really love their dynamic
Wow. Recently rewatched the Show with my gf and I literally Said while watching the fivth season "wow this season is so good". Now you came around to Probe that Point
im so glad the show didnt quitwe have a last episode; thelast halloween heist was just an entry to aqnither chapter off screen and OH MY GOD it was chaotic, im glad they showed the precinct do more heists together besides drifting apart cus honestly i hate bitter endings
Sorry I May Have Screwed up here but at 5:31 you said 4th when it’s the fifth Halloween Heist. Sorry, It was bugging me not supposed to be mean. Great Video though!

Dear @swissmrkc, Even though I love both The Office and Parks, 99 will always be up there as one of the best sitcoms ever produced. Response Complete. Sincerely, Nerdstalgic.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine and 9-1-1 LA were both canceled by Fox, are loved, but gladly saved by NBC and ABC. Also a pleasant fun fact from a huge fan of both series, you can make Memes out of B99, and they fit perfectly with the character lining of the 118.
Brooklyn 99 is one of my favourite comfort shows. I think outside of a few clunker guest stars (Hi, Gina Gershon), the characters and actors were all pretty much stellar. And Brooklyn 99 gave me one of my favourite characters ever - Captain Raymond Holt.
Final season did take itself a little too seriously but I prefer its finale as the definitive finale for the entire series. So well done. Makes up for the rocky start.
The Season Eight premiere is the only BAD episode of B99. I recently rewatched the whole series on Netflix, and I had to skip that episode. It executes its political messaging with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the face. I cringed so hard I almost pulled a muscle.
@@hatefuleightyseven2962 Yeah that's what I didn't like about it. I always loved B99 for having its progressiveness BAKED IN to the show naturally (for the most part, with just a few moments of being too overt and cringe about it times), but that episode had that overtness way too in the forefront of it all.
@@SchmergDergen Yeah that little shrug and nod of "ya'll know what we're REALLY talkin about here?" Takes away from the fun of cluing in if you're just paying attention.
i actually liked the way the finale went down, they recount a lot of the most iconic moments in the show in an almost 4th wall breaking way and it's quite nostalgic to watch.
I still remember when I first heard about the show being picked up again because I was just so confused since I hadn't heard that it had been cancelled yet. I was a bit late lol But I have a good excuse this all happened during finals week so it was chaotic
Jake’s fear of wrongful arrest in Season Five is a major reason why I didn’t like when Season Eight made Jake do that very thing! It defied his character growth! Edit: Also, is the network change the reason why bleep and pixelated censorship humor was more prevalent in the last few seasons than in the rest of the show? Because pre-Season Six, the only censorship I remember happening was when that one kid was vandalizing p****es onto vehicles in the second episode of the first season, and they NEVER used vocal censoring in the first five seasons!
@@PleasedTown I’m glad someone else agrees! I always thought the “b needs a c in her a” would have been funnier if Jake didn’t explain what he thought Amy was saying!
@@magenta_mer-goat86 i truly think B needs a C in her A only became such a popular joke because every regular watcher was like caught off guard by them bc there were no bleeps prior to that lol
Not to be that person, but you could totally tell the writers had to change a lot of things for Rosa to come out as bi. And not just that she had only ever exclusively dated men up until that time either. But I dont think anybody cared about that, the change that killed it for me was when she quit the NYPD to become a PI. Like really? She just told Holt and Gina that PI's were "pathetic hacks" just a season or 2 before. How hard is it for writers to keep track of what they've written? It's not like its been recorded or anything.
I saw it more as the character evolving throughout the series. Not everyone has the ability to express who they were and a lot can be said to hide who you really are. With Holt becoming her Captain, and the general vibe of the precinct changing since Captain McGintley was in charge she was able to come out to her co-workers and her parents finally. I can see how it can be taken as a copout, no pun intended, but I think the situation made sense for her as a character and an actor.
They actually forgot about Jake's transformation too that he was too cautious while going after suspects arresting them he himself said that him being wrongfully imprisoned changed his perspective yet in season 8 he goes after innocent guy and gets suspended in that process. In order to address current issues like police brutality they chose to ignore everything that happened before.
I like Season Eight for the most part, but at times it felt like they were pandering to the ACAB crowd. It was like they were ashamed of their own show.
Season 5 was decent but I think 3 was the best. Honestly the first 3 seasons were incredible. We saw characters grow into who we would come to love. The show went off a cliff after season 5. Every character becomes a caricature of themselves and their personal journeys don't seem to matter anymore. They began pushing a lot of politics, I know it's always been somewhat political and they did it in a great way for the first 4/5 seasons, but it came off as preachy and oftentimes unrelated to the plot. Also Jake and Amy's argument about parenthood was handled so poorly I think it alienated a lot of people. Overall, it is still one of my favourite shows and I still quote it daily.
Would you please include the name of those shows (like a little name on the corner) when you play their 1 second clip for references in your videos (like you used HOUSE M.D. clip but other shows i didn't recognise)
I’ll have to give this show another try. I watched the first season when it started and while I liked it, I never quite got hooked to it like Parks and Rec or The Office.
I love every season of B99 except season 8, that felt very dark compared to the rest and for obvious reasons, not to mention with Rosa leaving the whole dynamic was changed.
AS much as I loved seasons 6-8, what really gripes me is that NBC introduced bleeped swear words. This really throws me off as it has never occurred once in season 1-5, and then it seemed to be every 5 minutes that it would happen. Other than that, they kept it remarkably true to FOX's rendition of the show.
@@Nerdstalgic for me I feel like they got everything right that they had to (the finale, the birth of their child, etc) but the average episode quality decreased, especially in the last two seasons.
I don't hate season 6 & 7 I actually mainly watch it for Jake but I couldn't watch season 8 even for him especially how they ended his character he was brilliant detective in earlier seasons he never did as stupider thing like going after wrong guy and him then deciding to quit the 99 which was basically his entire life I know baby is important but why sacrifice your dream career I know they want to give message that dads can be full time take carers still it would have been great atleast he got an opportunity to work for FBI I was looking forward for him to realise his dream but they just did him dirty everyone got to pursue their dream jobs except Jake so unfair
@@Shreya.m371 Disagree with that statement, I think you missed the point. Jake spent his entire life as a cop to distract himself from anything else going on in the real world, using it as a distraction, but over the show his life got good enough that he no longer needed that distraction, able to let go of his passion, being fulfilled with the life he has.
I love the show also in either six or seven season there’s an episode where Raymond Holt goes absolutely mad. I love it if anyone can tell me which one that is I would appreciate it.
As much as I loved some episodes in S6 and S7, it should've ended in S5 on a high note. S8 was a low point, but S7 was pointing in that direction. It got way too political when it switched networks and went through some of the worst character assassinations. The reason for the character assassinations was because S5 was made as a series finale. Every character basically wrapped up their story but S6 had to create some conflict. I don't particularly like the debate episode as it goes against everything Jake stood for.
"Pretty sure the perfect season was when Wunch died." - Raymond Holt, probably.

@@PleasedTown I’m glad someone else agrees! I always thought the “b needs a c in her a” would have been funnier if Jake didn’t explain what he thought Amy was saying!
@@magenta_mer-goat86 i truly think B needs a C in her A only became such a popular joke because every regular watcher was like caught off guard by them bc there were no bleeps prior to that lol
@@PleasedTown For me, it was the opposite. The joke was funny until Jake explained it.
The best Halloween heist in my opinion.
as much as i loved Brooklyn 99 and season 5, season 6 started losing me about halfway through and 7 was worse and i didn't keep watching after that
Don’t forget that the master piece Last Man on Earth was canceled to and did not get picked up 😢
Damn Chris rocks dad took on another job
Not to be that person, but you could totally tell the writers had to change a lot of things for Rosa to come out as bi. And not just that she had only ever exclusively dated men up until that time either.
But I dont think anybody cared about that, the change that killed it for me was when she quit the NYPD to become a PI. Like really? She just told Holt and Gina that PI's were "pathetic hacks" just a season or 2 before.
How hard is it for writers to keep track of what they've written? It's not like its been recorded or anything.
I saw it more as the character evolving throughout the series. Not everyone has the ability to express who they were and a lot can be said to hide who you really are. With Holt becoming her Captain, and the general vibe of the precinct changing since Captain McGintley was in charge she was able to come out to her co-workers and her parents finally.
I can see how it can be taken as a copout, no pun intended, but I think the situation made sense for her as a character and an actor.
They actually forgot about Jake's transformation too that he was too cautious while going after suspects arresting them he himself said that him being wrongfully imprisoned changed his perspective yet in season 8 he goes after innocent guy and gets suspended in that process. In order to address current issues like police brutality they chose to ignore everything that happened before.
I like Season Eight for the most part, but at times it felt like they were pandering to the ACAB crowd. It was like they were ashamed of their own show.
@@hatefuleightyseven2962yeah lol. Always a bad idea to pander to those that are never happy.
Rosa coming out as bi, then leaving to become a PI, were both so incredibly unnecessary changes to the show.
Season 5 was decent but I think 3 was the best. Honestly the first 3 seasons were incredible. We saw characters grow into who we would come to love. The show went off a cliff after season 5. Every character becomes a caricature of themselves and their personal journeys don't seem to matter anymore. They began pushing a lot of politics, I know it's always been somewhat political and they did it in a great way for the first 4/5 seasons, but it came off as preachy and oftentimes unrelated to the plot. Also Jake and Amy's argument about parenthood was handled so poorly I think it alienated a lot of people. Overall, it is still one of my favourite shows and I still quote it daily.
It is almost the perfect series
I can sit down and binge watch it, only skipping as few episodes
Would you please include the name of those shows (like a little name on the corner) when you play their 1 second clip for references in your videos (like you used HOUSE M.D. clip but other shows i didn't recognise)
if only umbrella academy could have gotten the same generosity as it deserved, as bb99 did
I’ll have to give this show another try. I watched the first season when it started and while I liked it, I never quite got hooked to it like Parks and Rec or The Office.
Crazy how season 5 was when it got canceled but netflix only has up to season 4
Man, I love you
I love you!
Yes i said it, AND I MEANT IT !
I love every season of B99 except season 8, that felt very dark compared to the rest and for obvious reasons, not to mention with Rosa leaving the whole dynamic was changed.
Amazing show!
Hey @nerdstalgic are you the same voice from some of the TED Ed videos?
AS much as I loved seasons 6-8, what really gripes me is that NBC introduced bleeped swear words. This really throws me off as it has never occurred once in season 1-5, and then it seemed to be every 5 minutes that it would happen. Other than that, they kept it remarkably true to FOX's rendition of the show.
A near perfect season of a sitcom. I love this show, it's a shame that the seasons after it dropped in quality so significantly.
I still really enjoyed the NBC seasons personally.
@@Nerdstalgic for me I feel like they got everything right that they had to (the finale, the birth of their child, etc) but the average episode quality decreased, especially in the last two seasons.
I don't hate season 6 & 7 I actually mainly watch it for Jake but I couldn't watch season 8 even for him especially how they ended his character he was brilliant detective in earlier seasons he never did as stupider thing like going after wrong guy and him then deciding to quit the 99 which was basically his entire life I know baby is important but why sacrifice your dream career I know they want to give message that dads can be full time take carers still it would have been great atleast he got an opportunity to work for FBI I was looking forward for him to realise his dream but they just did him dirty everyone got to pursue their dream jobs except Jake so unfair
@@Shreya.m371 Disagree with that statement, I think you missed the point. Jake spent his entire life as a cop to distract himself from anything else going on in the real world, using it as a distraction, but over the show his life got good enough that he no longer needed that distraction, able to let go of his passion, being fulfilled with the life he has.
The last season was rough imo.
Loved almost all of B99, all except the final season. Season 5 was great tho.
I love the show also in either six or seven season there’s an episode where Raymond Holt goes absolutely mad. I love it if anyone can tell me which one that is I would appreciate it.
Is that the Johnathan Wicks episode your talking about?
They took the wrong FLUFFY BOY!!!
As much as I loved some episodes in S6 and S7, it should've ended in S5 on a high note. S8 was a low point, but S7 was pointing in that direction. It got way too political when it switched networks and went through some of the worst character assassinations.
The reason for the character assassinations was because S5 was made as a series finale. Every character basically wrapped up their story but S6 had to create some conflict. I don't particularly like the debate episode as it goes against everything Jake stood for.
S6 was pretty good too , best season is imo is season 6 and 5
How does it get cancelled after THAT season
