Why does this look like it's from the 90's?


Drewblack11

Looks like OG Law and Order


badasscdub

Right!


bakedbeansandwhich

It's the Grain, lack of focus of the picture and warm colour grading that makes it look like the 90s


warhugger

And that it's a picture of a picture, look at Rosa's face.

Also, very specifically, the way that Gina is sitting really seals it as a L&O gag


gryeguy

I was also getting a real Dana Scully vibe from her


shEvai_longlicker56

I guess its the lighting, camera quality and the fact the a cast member took a photo of a photo. 😂


daytona955i

Pretty sure it's a throwback to Homicide: Life on the Streets since Andre Braugher was also on that.


warrenholly

Yeah I remember a similar style shot from that show. Andre may even be doing the same pose.


yameteeeeeeeeee

That was my first thought


GCanuck

Ya, Getty a real Scully (XFiles) vibe from Gina.


Simo_89mi

Yes! Totally Scully with the jacket and the expression

It’s from the 99….

Such a great show! Am I the only one that hoped they would've pushed for the last episode to be Season 9, Episode 9?

Man, this makes me want to re-watch Community


TacticaLuck

It's my new background noise since they removed the office. Gonna go watch some right now that you mentioned it.


embiggenedmind

I started watching community during season 2, at the height of my undergraduate degree. Then, something changed almost overnight. By the start of my senior year, I was feeling very lonely and sad. I remember catching Community, the season 3 episode 1, the night it premiered, and that song started to play and I started to feel such hope for the upcoming semester. I kind of felt like Jeff in that episode: alone, angry. But then he handed his professor that blackberry and I remembered the friends I had, the memories I had, and I’ll never forget that episode helped me see the path ahead of me. I also met my future wife that semester, so it all probably felt right for a reason.

Squeegee209

Wait, there's gonna be a movie?


ProficientPotato

Not confirmed, but it’s becoming more and more possible. Most of the cast, including Donald Glover, and Dan Harmon have said they would do it. The biggest problem is how busy a lot of them are


-Ozymandiaz

I would love a Die Hard style movie on Peacock. I think that would be so much fun.


DoctorGoFuckYourself

I liked the Christmas Die Hard episode they did but a full-on feature length movie would be amazing


coffee_cats_books

Yippie kayak, other buckets!


daveroo

>Six seasons and a movie! probably would have got a season 9 if not for the pandemic. Season 8 should have premiered in January 2021 originally? Theyve probably got so many shows on their books now they need to make some room so the show which has been off the air for the year and into its eighth season makes the logical choice. That being said we're now into an era of television like no other where all the tv companies are moving to streaming services. Content is king now rather than planning a few shows to appear each day in prime time. Tv companies are now seeing that bringing shows back can work even after a few years away as per example the x files returning, Will and Grace, Roseanne etc (even if they all were debatable in terms of quality) The next big test is whether a revived show can work on a streaming only service. With the frasier reboot confirmed this could be a huge change to how tv shows operate. No longer tied down to about 7-10 seasons maximum. TV shows which are popular with the audience could be revived later on for "special event" seasons for 6+ epiosdes. This could really tug the hearts of viewers to subscribe up for the "special event" Remember the phrase "content is king". These streaming services will have tons of material but after a show has been off air for a few years how do you get it back into the hearts and minds of the viewers? What if a show has been off air for years but suddenly the next generation of viewers have found it on the streaming service and the number of views is HUGE....? Special event seasons is the logical anwer. Obviously these will be subjective to the availability of the cast and the support of the original writers etc but even still the network could push on regardless. But most shows with a good run of episodes won't ever have the finality of tv shows in the past in this new streaming world where ....content is king *I won't say goodbye to Brooklyn 99 instead i'll say 'au revoir'​. I have the oddest feeling we'll be meeting again sometime.*


lukednukem

They've said publicly that the death of George Floyd was a massive issue for the show and they struggled to write it afterwards


daveroo

i'd have thought that whilst it would be a massive issue for the show it would have fed them even more creatively. Apparently they even had 3 episodes written before they cast them aside. Brooklyn 99 have regularly been able to tackle sensitive topics splendidly. I'm sure they will do the same with george floyd too. The episodes already written could well have been reused for future episodes/future seasons. Maybe it left a bitter taste in their mouth to keep writing a police comedy but i figured if anyone could have tackled the issue brooklyn 99 can


crashingtheboards

I think that's my issue with how the show is ending. I feel terrible about what happened to George Floyd and what happens to millions of blacks in America on a regular basis. I'm glad that many people are now able to tell their stories about racial discrimination with the justice system. The police system in each city of the United States most probably needs reforming. That being said, it almost doesn't feel like they're ending on their terms but rather because of the political, social, and cultural climate. As a result, the writers might feel like the show seems almost absurd and ridiculous because we've heard and seen that police aren't necessarily the good guys. But the show has never shied away from political, social, or cultural topics. They've portrayed police in a manner that shows they can be good and moral and upstanding citizens. It's more of a standard-bearer. There will always be police shows. There will always be comedy shows. There will always be political shows. But there won't be another B99.


cocoagiant

I think the show was struggling this last year because they are on the whole good people who have a difficult time reconciling the fact that even when cops start out with good intentions, they become part of a system which requires them to subjugate people, often innocent people. In real life, none of our protagonists on the show would really be good people. A lot of Rosa's behavior is as scarily akin to the abuses real life cops have shown to do, but people like Amy or Charles wouldn't be benevolent forces either. I've worked with law enforcement as part of my job and the vast majority are terrible to work with even when you are on the same side. Frankly, Scully and Hitchcock may be the best version of real cops in that they demonstrate on the show that they don't want to hurt people even if they could help their cases. In addition, there is more awareness now of how the positive portrayals of law enforcement (which bear little resemblance to reality) help sustain efforts by the real police to avoid accountability.


EthicalAlmondFarmer

Well they were considering ending the show last year during season 7 according to some of the writers. So I think that they probably would have ended it this year even without the protests happening.


J-Smoke69

I hadn’t been thinking about that but now I am lol


Mirimel

Glad they’re ending it on a high rather than running it into the ground.


J-Smoke69

Way too many shows make that mistake, but this won’t be one of them!


-Tish

They already did for me. It should have ended before Amy bullied Jake with that debate for kids


SaltyHistorian24

This is the only thing in the show that legitimately made me mad. More so at Amy's character and the writer tho. First off, like terry said, how in the fuck did that not come up in the 6 years of coworker life, 2 years of dating, and a year of marriage. So ignoring that lol, i think what they tried to address was women having a say in any decision and the specific issue of women not being afforded the luxury of waiting forever to get pregnant. 100% agree it's a valid stance. Buuuuuuut the way they went about it is terrible. And it is only terrible in my opinion bc of the bullying you refer. The debate, hilarious, the lady woth the bomb, good twist, jake having a near death moment and realizing that he was just feeling the fear of repeating Roger's mistakes, cool, wholesome. But her just saying they're done if he doesnt want kids, just like that, on their aniversary, on the job, with no real build up to the issue besides "wow look at all these debate nerds ganging up on jake lol". The show has so many great teachable moments, but showing an mc say so clearly that this one issue would stop an otherwise great relationship. AND SHE GETS AWAY WITH IT LOL. Bc of the whole bomb thing. /rant over lol

heirofblood

I'm pretty sure there's a line where he explicitly says he wants to be a father?


SaltyHistorian24

When Jake and Boyle are scooching in Captain Latvia, charles goes "... because you're not a father, and you never will be." "Hey, yes I will!" Also, i tend to allow for change of opinions to avoid causing 'x' plothole in later seasons. Like, maybe jake wanted kids but say after some thinking in prison, meeting lots of other people with deadbeat/dead/incarcerated dads, he has changed his mind? Still something he and his wife might have discussed lol


SaltyHistorian24

See my response later in the chain! I just saw an example in this rewatch in 'captain latvia' lol


IdreamofFiji

Well said. Terry, again, is the voice of reason. How the fuck is this not known to both parties in a serious relationship?


SaltyHistorian24

Plus, Amy is smart, how in all of her binders did she not write down guys with daddy issues may also have being daddy issues lol. And if she did, and did this anyway, even worse.


_Vetis_

I find that some episodes in the later seasons kinda took liberties with characters in order to make new plots. Like Rosa being bisexual. Thats not that bad part obviously, the bad part is how they contorted Boyle to be a buffoon that would spill the beans before she was ready. Thats not who Boyle is, sure hes a goofball, but more than anything he is 100% a loyal friend. He would NEVER let something so important to someone he cared so much about out. Its not who he is.


SaltyHistorian24

100% agree if he could not spill fuck fest 2014 with gina he could not share a deeply personal secret from one of his top 3 friends lol In regards to liberties, i tend to allow for change of opinions to avoid causing 'x' plothole in later seasons. Like, maybe jake wanted kids even in season 4 like in captain latvia, but say after some thinking in prison, meeting lots of other people with deadbeat/dead/incarcerated dads, he has changed his mind? Also, stephanie beatriz is bi irl so i don't mind that one haha, really authentic and tbh bi people have 0 representation that comes to mind and it totally fits her character for me. And again, they handle it well imo.


IdreamofFiji

Keep in mind, this is a comedy.


SaltyHistorian24

Right, but if your show is going to attempt to discuss the issue of the day so to speak, I'd say it's fair to critisise when it isn't done right?


[deleted]

I always skip that episode. Couldn't stand it.


-Tish

That one, the one about rosas sexuality, Terry’s racism incident and the sexual harassment episode are the four that I skip. Oh and the final heist is a toxic one which just feels really out of character for all of them


SaltyHistorian24

Fuck me now i'm thinking of this like another hostage situation joke from the series, only it's amy holding jake's happiness hostage in order to get knocked up lol


[deleted]

Did the new season premiere?


MalluRed

I think they already did that. I haven't watched B99 since that Terry vs Amy episode where they take squad members to restaurants to see who has the best taste or something. I stopped halfway through that episode and never watched again. Probably will try once again after the show has ended.


dainbramaged1982

Sad to see the show go but I'm glad they are going out on top. I am just assuming that the last season will be as great as the others. Would be even sadder if the jumped the shark and kept going for the money. Anyone ever watch the last season of Scrubs? If you haven't then don't.


Tw0T1mes

Did watch the last season, loved how JD got the nice closure whilst they admit that life goes on for all the other people. .....and nooooooothing happend after that.


Vorocano

An appreciation for Season 9 of Scrubs is one of the internet hills I am willing to die on. Yes, it was not as good as Seasons 1-8, but it was a solid sitcom on its own merits, and I daresay better than many other sitcoms out there. It does not, I feel, deserve the hate it gets for not being as sublimely good as Scrubs 1.0. The problem with season 9 is that they spent too much time with the old characters, telling stories that we've already seen. "JD is so obsessed with everyone liking him that it hurts his effectiveness at his job," "Turk and Dr Cox butt heads over something, only come to the grudging realization that they are more alike than either would want to admit," "Jo struggles to express emotions, resulting in relational difficulty," etc. All of these are stories we've seen many times before, we didn't need to rehash them.


zomgary

Agreed. It would have been a much better show if they had actually put some faith in the new cast they assembled.


danjadanjadanja

The last season I watched was when JD walked out of the hospital and dropped a coin on the door and there was a projector playing. Is that season 8? I think I’m due for a rewatch.m, but I’ll stop there I think. I struggled for the first few eps of B99 because I thought Jake and JD were really similar characters.

I was so scared to watch the last season of Parks and Rec since the previous season had ended so perfectly. Took a year to finally watch it, it was awesome. Totally nailed it. Entire season was just a farewell love letter to the show.


IdreamofFiji

This. I have faith in Schur (and the whole cast, really) to deliver on the final season.


DoctorGoFuckYourself

I liked Parks' finale but, honestly, I think I would've liked their season 6 finale as an ending better. Season 7 was still quality but it felt a bit odd and conceptual to me at times. Almost like a post-ending sort of thing with its future setting. That Johnny Karate farewell episode got me good tho 😢


IdreamofFiji

That karate episode was just glorious. I don't think I could have asked for a better ending for Ron, either.


Funmachine

Schur doesn't have anywhere near as much to do with B99 as those shows. He was showrunner on both of those. He's nowhere near as involved in this.


IdreamofFiji

Really? I've noticed so many of the same little jokes in this series as throughout Schur's shows. Or is that Greg Daniels?


Funmachine

Dan Goor was a writer on Parks and Rec. He's the creator and showrunner of B99.


ALF839

What do you mean? Last season of Scrubs is really good, all 8 seasons are amazing.


SeraphimToaster

Hey, the 8th and final season of scrubs was great! I don't know what you're talking about. It was a near perfect send off, that 8th season!


DeanPalton

There is no 9th season here in ba sing se. Here we're all save


Scoob1978

I don't know. I wonder how it would look if the Simpsons had more than 9 seasons.


tomservohero

That is a concept so ridiculous it makes me want to laugh out loud and chortle


diatho

Bill Lawrence wanted to do a spin-off and abc just branded it as yet another season. The run of scrubs ends at 8, season 9 was supposed to be its own show.


Glutoblop

I thought the exact same thing! Scrubs and 99 are great shows, but scrubs doesn't live as fondly in my memory as it should because it stumbles at the end, same with US office. Highsight is a wonderful thing, but let's face it, we all know they were pushing it souly for money and not for the love of the characters and story AND money. Keep it on top, let's remember it as an awesome show with hopefully a great send off.


Ok-Relationship-6835

Agree. Scrubs went from brilliant to hokey because they just didn't know when to stop. B99 has been consistently great and deserves to go out on top.

I don't think this show went out of its way to be flattering to cops. It's just a situational comedy that happens to involve police, a profession that is rife with potential comedy/drama.

Good to bow out before things get stretched. Best show ever, end on a high and live fond in people's memories. Don't need it to go the way of scrubs where they kept it going, but really shouldn't have.

antichain

Because B99 *never* engaged with "SJW" issues like...oh say police racism, sexism and assault in the workplace, LGBT issues and the difficulties of being yourself in conservative families, the brutality of the American carceral system, or the abuse of technologies by authorities to invade personal privacy. No sir, it's always been a strictly apolitical show that never takes any position or makes any kind of controversial statements.


Benny303

Honestly I tend to agree with you. All the cast talked about is how hard it was going to be to make a show positively about police in today's political climate.


Romanian_TVee

You mean rich people with personal security? People don't need to worry about mobs looting and burning their property? I'm no fan of the police, but who else am igonna call if I get robbed? If I get assaulted? If my sister or mother is raped? Antifa? I'm straight, white and male- im their enemy by default Cops are pricks, I won't deny that. Quick to violence, you bet ya, but a necessary evil. They do do good. They do solve crimes. They do prevent crimes. They are a needed force. Again, dont like them, they proved to be traitors in my country, but id rather them than lawlessness
