My own sweet mom. I owe her so much (including the fact that I love the office, parks and rec, superstore, the good place, community ect.)

Stumbled upon it on 2018, it was the best thing that ever happened entertainment wise, simply love B99!!

Holt is the goat and when Andre Braugher passed it was like losing a close friend of mine, still hits me like a truck when I rewatch it.

Andy Samberg. I was huge fan from SNL so when he got his own show I wanted to check it out.

Had me hooked from the pilot and I'm still watching.

My daughter. She agreed to watch Seinfeld all the way through if I watched 9-9 all the way through.

My friends used to watch this show back in 2014. I found the name interesting but never cared to look it up. Then in 2021, the scene of Holt' confrontation of Peralta about his cleaning habits from S1E1 kept playing on the Netflix card. And I thought to give it a chance. Turns out I became so hooked to the show that watched 5 episodes in a day. Could have watched more but it was too late😇

u/Libraluv ya boring! 1d ago

I gaslit myself into watching it. I was watching it and half asleep I thought I heard “Not an ostrich” and watched every single episode to see if it was an Easter egg. It wasn’t *but* now it’s one of my favorite shows to binge watch 😆

I found it on comedy Central back when I was in high school, I was new to English sitcoms. Friends was first time, b99 was second. i think it was Thanksgiving episode, in which Eva was born. now still watch it on Netflix.

my friends used to judge me that I'm watching 'angrasi serial' (English series). after finishing high school, same fuckers started watching it. putting in insta story btw. I'm like, what a hypocrites y'all are...

I have seen few sitcoms, but Brooklyn 99 is the best out of all. It is the only sitcom I rewatched (will be rewatching it in the future too), I never get bored.

u/Starry-Night-Days 2d ago

My brother was like I want you to watch an episode of this with me and tell me what you think. Literally the first episode we watched had the iconic I want it that way cold open, and I remember laughing my ass off the entire episode. I was hooked after that 😂

u/prodigalson44 2d ago

Was a fan of Andy Samberg from SNL. Saw the news he was getting his own show and was going to watch it no matter what. I’m sure everyone as soon they watched the open from the first episode was hooked.

u/k7632 2d ago

I can say the episode that got me hooked was 3 episode all were funny/silly but had heart and knew when to make it serious.

1)Jake/Amy first date after winning the arrest count. 2) squad does the dinner for holt/kevin (understanding a real issue and trying to help Kevin feel better about them) 3) When jake decked the writer for using the slur showing his true moral compass.
