“Unlocking the Hidden Secrets of Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Are You a True Fan?”
Schur was under a deal at NBC Universal, but after pitching it, they sold it to Fox. As soon as Andy Samberg departed from Saturday Night Live, all the big stumbling blocks they ran into with developing the show were suddenly out of the way.
It’s Park And Recreatio With Cops
Both The Office and Parks and Recreation were big hits for NBC. Many of the show’s writers and actors have worked on one or both shows. For instance, Chelsea Peretti worked as a writer for Parks and Recreation, and even made an appearance on the show.
Networks were looking for the next show to come along after Dunder Mifflin and Pawnee. Schur was sure to pitch the show like Parks and Recreation, but with cops.
The Cast Went Through Real Police Training
The Nine-Nine isn’t another Law & Order. Most cop shows are thrillers and dramas. In this case, it’s about cops who are hysterical while doing their jobs. Of course, that doesn’t mean they can’t be ridiculous in other ways.
It was important for the cast to know what they were doing. The entire cast of the show went through police training and even learned how to use a weapon. It makes the show more real while helping the actors get into character.
The Nine-Nine Chant
In the show, the team chants “Nine-Nine” to pump up. Sgt. Terry Jeffords is usually the one that shouts it out. No matter what the situation is, it gets the team pumped up for their next adventure.
