The bumbling characters on Brooklyn Nine-Nine are named after King Of The Hill writers Mike Scully and Norm Hiscock. Scully was an executive producer as well as showrunner for The Simpsons from 1997 to 2001.
He’s also worked on Parks and Recreation and Everybody Loves Raymond. As for Hiscock, the Canadian worked on Saturday Night Live and Corner Gas. Recently, he was named an executive producer on People of Earth.
There’s a reason why a football game was played between the Nine-Nine and the Brooklyn Fire Department.
The Show Isn’t Filmed In New York
While a few exterior shots are from the Big Apple, the rest of the show is shot in Los Angeles. Still, Brooklyn has a significant presence in the show. The exterior shots of the station are a real station in the heart of the city.
What’s even more interesting is that Brooklyn’s 78th precinct is near the Barclay’s Center located in downtown Brooklyn, and it appears in each episode in the show.
A Company Was Hired To Create The Game Kwazy Cupcakes
Fans of the show will remember the storyline revolving around Kwazy Cupcakes, a phone game that sounds suspiciously like the famous Candy Crush.
Thanks to RED Games, you can get completely addicted to the same zany game that Gina and Captain Holt were obsessed with on the show. Eventually, it became a game created for Apple, and it didn’t take long for it to become a popular app on smartphones around the world.
