Culture 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' cancelled - #bluelivesmatter

https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/10/entertainment/brooklyn-nine-nine-canceled/index.html

The most painful time of year for TV fans has claimed a major victim.

Fox's "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" has been canceled by the network as it clears room on its schedule for a crop of new shows for the fall TV season (and Thursday night football).

"The Mick" and Will Forte's "The Last Man on Earth" have also been canceled.

Fox is set to announce its new fall lineup next week as part of its annual Upfronts presentation to advertisers in New York City.

"Brooklyn Nine-Nine's" demise is being particularly mourned by viewers, who hailed the comedy for its diverse cast, which included characters from the LGBTQ community.

Co-creator Dan Goor acknowledged the loss on Twitter, thanking people for an "incredible outpouring of support."
"#brooklyn99 fans are the best fans in the world. It means the world to me and everyone else who works on the show," he wrote.

"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" starred Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher and aired for five seasons.

Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Stephanie Beatriz, Joe Lo Truglio and Chelsea Peretti rounded out the cast.

In its time on air, the series also earned a fair amount of awards attention. It received the Golden Globe for best comedy series in 2014, and Samberg earned the statue for best actor in a comedy the same year. Braugher also earned three Emmy nominations for his work on the show.

Following the comedy's cancellation, fans -- including some famous ones -- took to Twitter to lament.

"RENEW BROOKLYN NINE NINE," wrote Lin-Manuel Miranda. "I ONLY WATCH LIKE 4 THINGS. THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS #RenewB99."

Late-night host Seth Meyers added: "News on @Brooklyn99FOX and @LastManFOX is a double gut punch. Two great shows with hilarious writing and terrific ensembles."

"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" still has two episodes to air as part of its current season. The now series finale will air May 20.

Fox cancels dozens of shows a season, more at 11.

The Simpsons will go on though because it somehow manages to be just profitable enough.

Yeah, they also cancelled some other show called The Last Man on Earth, too. Were either of those shows good? I haven't been paying much attention to TV lately.

Nah they (and most other networks) were generously renewing shit in recent times, especially cult shows. I have a feeling we will see some more major cancellations soon-ish, the landscape has started shifting ever since Netflix and Hulu ramped up production on their own shows, especially Netflix.

As for B99, it used to be great, but I personally stopped watching around the season 4 mid-season finale (The fugitive hunt episode I think), and I haven't found a compelling reason to go back.

I honestly haven't watched broadcast tv in years so maybe my expectations about Fox are out of date.

The "Terry Crews plays a straight-faced cop" show was occasionally cute when it was slipped in before or after Fox animation I was watching for one reason or another, but I never sought it out. I'm more likely to try some fucking anime I've never heard of on a streaming service's rotation than I am a new american sitcom or drama, and that's just background noise.

Judging by the Deadline article, the show was probably cancelled because of disagreements between the studio (Universal) and FOX network.

Lol Terry Crews wasn't straight-laced at all in the show (he's my favorite though), you must be thinking of Andre Braugher, who played the police captain.

IMO, the show is very funny with a strong cast, but I just mentally checked out for no real reason.

If the conclusion isn't a cliffhanger, then I will probably watch the rest of it.

Maybe now that his schedule is freed up they'll tap Terry Crews for a Macho Camacho Idiocracy prequel show or something.

 

[Fleshy Sanik]

The showswas funny enough. Nothing i particularly followed but i watched from time to time. I figured the show was dying when they included Jason Mantzoukas. The man is the grim reaper of quality

 

[Lipitor]

It's a show about cops.. Fuck the cops.

 

[Duncan Hills Coffee]

Remember when Family Guy made fun of this years ago when it listed the absurdly large number of shows that were cancelled between its own cancellation and revival?

Funny that absolutely nothing's changed in the past 14 years.

 

[Derp Potato]

I just want Futurama to come back.

That's it. Nothing more.

And yet Fox's animated series keep on trucking through even though their live action shit keeps getting canceled.

Are they that cheap to produce/popular and profitable not to get canceled at this point?

Oh, I bet you wanna fuck the cops.

Never watched it, never would watch it. But the things people get upset about is always amusing. Am following this since somehow salt is always better when it is over literally nothing.

It was one of the lowest rated shows in Fox's lineup, though I guess you could argue streaming and Hulu rebroadcasts made up for the difference.

Hopefully that Tim Allen show gets slotted in its spot, and actually gets ratings. Then we can witness a second salt outbreak from these people. edit: Not that I would watch that one, either.

edit: Call me Nostradamus. First or second hit when I googled "Tim Allen" to see if that cancelled show was coming back.

I tried watching that. It was awful.

I've only vaguely heard of Brooklyn Nine Nine. I thought it was a drama. But then again I barely watch anything but Turner Classic Movies and El Rey. I have no idea what's currently on TV. I just know The Simpsons is still on for some reason.

 

[PlasticOwls]

I watched for Terry Crews. I only liked Terry Crews in the show, but he liked the show. As long as he's happy, I am too.

Hope he gets more work. Such a wholesome person.

They are easy to syndicate to other countries because they appeal to all ages plus merchandise.
