What is “Brooklyn Nine-Nine?” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” is a new fall 2013 TV show starring Andy Samberg—of “Saturday Night Live” fame—and Andrew Braugher. Although it’s a cop show, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” is a comedy—a “single-camera ensemble,” to be exact—whose title refers to the police precinct in which the series is set. “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” premieres on FOX on Sept. 17, 2013.

From a plot perspective, the answer to the question “What is ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine?’” is “comedy about what happens when a talented, but carefree, detective gets a new captain with a lot to prove.” That’s according to FOX, who’ve made the show a lynchpin of their fall 2013 TV lineup. Samberg plays detective Jake Peralta, a cop who’s so effective—his arrest record is best in the “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” precinct—that he’s long avoided following the rules. But then Braugher’s character, Captain Ray Holt, comes on board and seeks to make Samberg “respect the badge,” as per FOX.

What is “Brooklyn Nine-Nine?” Like many great comedy shows—and that’s what FOX hopes it has with this hotly tipped fall 2013 TV series—it’s an ensemble, and joining Samberg and Braugher are Terry Crews, who plays Sgt. Terry Jeffords, a father of twins who’s lost his never as a police officers and comic actor Joe Lo Truglio (“Superbad”), who plays detective Charles Boyle, a department striver who pines for Stephanie Beatriz’s character, Rosa Diaz. A civilian office manager, Diaz is tasked with cleaning up the messes caused by everyone else, and she winds up getting “involved in everyone’s business,” according to FOX’s description.

What is “Brooklyn Nine-Nine?” A decent show with good and bad points, if Buzzsugar writer Becky Kirsch is to be believed. “Seeing Samberg in a sitcom is downright delightful,” she wrote in a review of the “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” pilot, written by creators Dan Goor and Michael Schur, who’ve worked together on the hit show “Parks and Recreation.” “Jake is goofy enough to produce big laughs but is still believable as a successful detective. Samberg actually benefits from being slightly more reined in than he was on SNL; he’s just as funny and even more charming playing a regular guy than an over-the-top character.”
