NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “The Chopper” (A-) Like Sideshow Bob on The Simpsons, any time Wunch appears, you know you’re in for a good time. The B story about the field trip didn’t do much for me, but teaming … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “Det. Dave Majors” (B+) A solid episode all around, bolstered by a great amount of heart. I wish they had given the great Garret Dillahunt more to do than play the “best detective in NYC,” … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “AC/DC” (B) The great run is over, but there’s still plenty to love here. Peralta & Boyle make a great pair as always, but pairing Rosa and Holt together is a stroke of genius. Their … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “Captain Peralta” (A) It takes expert skills to combine the cop-heavy plot with the feels interwoven. But this episode does it. Bradley Whitford guest stars as Jake’s dead-beat dad and nails the charisma that keeps … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “Boyle-Linetti Wedding” (A) Event episodes can either be gimmicky or take the best parts of the show and up the stakes. This is clearly the latter, and you could make a strong case that this … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “Defense Rests” (A-) Chris Parnell was always the most vanilla utility player on SNL. Lately, he’s proven himself a valuable addition to any sitcom, including the dearly departed Suburgatory. Here, as Eva Longoria’s coked-up boss, … Continue reading
