Brooklyn Nine-Nine to End With Long-Delayed, Shortened Season 8

The Nine-Nine is going off duty — but it’ll be quite some time before we have to say goodbye.
NBC has announced that Brooklyn Nine-Nine will wrap its death-defying run with Season 8, which has been pushed to the 2021-22 TV season. The farewell season will consist of just 10 episodes, which will mark the series’ shortest season to date.
“I’m so thankful to NBC and Universal Television for allowing us to give these characters and our fans the ending they deserve,” said executive producer Dan Goor. “When Mike Schur and I first pitched the pilot episode to Andy [Samberg], he said, ‘I’m in, but I think the only way to tell this story is over exactly 153 episodes,’ which was crazy because that was exactly the number Mike and I had envisioned.
“I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with this amazing cast and crew for eight seasons,” Goor’s statement continues. “They are not only among the most talented people in the business, they are all good human beings who have become a family. But most of all, I feel lucky that we have had the best fans in the world. Fans who literally saved us from cancellation. Fans who fill us with joy. Ending the show was a difficult decision, but ultimately, we felt it was the best way to honor the characters, the story and our viewers. I know some people will be disappointed it’s ending so soon, but honestly, I’m grateful it lasted this long. Title of my sex tape.”

I have a feeling the ending is going to be HIMYM bad and ruin the entire series. I'm just not confident this creative group can successfully pull their head out of their arse to make a worthwhile final season.

One might say that the network defunded the series

What? HIMYM had at least 2-3 seasons of decline including the final season of shite.
B99 hasn’t missed yet. The short run to series finale does suck arse though.

It’s because it shows police in a positive light

They said they were rethinking the new season after George Floyd's death, so I imagine this won't be great anyway.

The finale of HIMYM makes the entire rest of the series unwatchable to me.
Given what the makers of the show have said before about their plans for the season, they intend to make it similarly unwatchable.
I'm not talking about the pattern of decline, but the depth.

The finale isn’t even that bad, it’s simply the result of the holes they dug themselves into with the last 2-3 seasons of them trying to milk the thing dry

It was pretty shitty that the entire narration of the show was a way to convince his kids in being fine with him banging Aunt Robin again. Pretty weird and creepy flex by Ted.
It also ended up being shitty because Milioti ended up being so damn good.

I think it is probably getting close to running its course
Once you get your main love interests married with children you can either just go on forever with no ending in sight until you aren’t funny or just trying and wrap it up.
The easiest way to do this is to just do a flash forward finale. The best sitcoms ending are satisfying flash forward finales.

Yeah but that actually makes the entire thing kind of make sense as to why he kept going back to robin and always pinning over her throughout this story
Every couple episodes he would decide he was in love with her and make a move or talk about making a move which at the time was extremely frustrating, but if the entire point was that clearly it’s because he’s still in love with Robin during this entire story telling, then it actually makes a lot of sense. He’s subconsciously telling these kids that he’s in love with her still and they are smart enough to figure it out
Why they added in the whole Robin marries Barney then two seconds later they reveal they got a divorce thing I will never know, but I guess they wanted you to finally believe she wasn’t an option

Last season 99 really knocked it out of the park. Wife and I really enjoyed this much more than we expected.

I feel like they had already shot a bunch of the blue french horn stuff and just went with that rather than rewriting the ending they’d foreshadowed for years now that it no longer made sense. It seems that the ending of Ted and Robin was always the plan from the beginning, but the characters developed a lot over the course of the show to the point that the writers should have recognized that the ending they’d drawn up (probably before filming season 1) no longer worked for those characters.
It ended up feeling rushed and hollow like the end of game of thrones.

I don’t disagree that overall it’s a clunky ending, but I think the best way to retroactively fix it, would be to fix the decisions they made in the 2-3 seasons leading up to the finale more so than just changing the finale we got
I think people would either give zero shits or still hate it if they just did a “okay yeah me and your mother met and it’s all great and Barney and Robin have been together forever” ending
But if you eliminate the weird Robin-Barney stuff, and make a better path to the ending they got, I think it would’ve been very well received.
But after years of “okay we’re gonna do the Ted and Robin thing while telling you they won’t end up together” thing it just felt like a cheap misdirect, even if they had built up some of the story to partly justify it

They had a similar issue, except I think the main difference was they had a ton of options at their disposal that they could’ve chosen that would’ve been atleast passable and somewhat satisfied people
But for some reason they chose an ending that completely betrays the world and characters they built leading up to that point and pissed everyone off simply so that they could go “haha those damn redditors didn’t guess the ending first!”
HIMYM extended itself too long and then retrofitted an ending that lines up with their past mistakes as much as possible
GOT didn’t extend itself enough and just decided to write an ending that had zero real connection with the previous material in the show which is a far greater offense

I apologize for making this a HIMYM thread. 
Posted on 2/11/21 at 4:10 pm to ProjectP2294
It’s a lot better alternative than what I expected this thread to turn out as (BLM/cancel culture shite)

They very deliberately made Ted-Robin not work out only because of timing - divergent career paths, different choices on having kids, etc. They always had chemistry, they always loved each other. The entirety of the show the first 3-4 seasons was about their relationship.
Problem is that you can only tell the audience "This isn't working" so many times before they give up hope that it will, yes, eventually work. You can only keep characters apart for so long before they lose that chemistry. Romantic comedies rely on inevitability - we love them specifically because they are predictable.
They should have ended it multiple seasons earlier with Victoria being the Mother, then have Ted and her amicably divorce in the flash forward. They could have heavily played up the "right person for the right time" angle instead of what we got in the real finale "right time for the right person".
On the other hand, they had made explicitly clear that Robin and Barney didn't work as a couple because of fundamental differences in their personalities, made no sense to bring them together even for an inevitable split (again).

So about Brooklyn Nine-Nine being cancelled.

Stop trolling about politics Byron smh

There was a Comedy Central roast right after Andy Samberg left SNL to start B99. Andy was there, and the other comics were roasting him hard about how shitty the show would be and how fast it would get cancelled.
I guess the joke's on them. Andy has to have made a pile of cash off of this long run.
