Forgive my ignorance, but what do you mean by toasts?

When people hold glasses up and say a speech.

Jesus, now I feel stupid.

I thought the toast in your sentence was some kind of device used in telly, and not, you know, a toast

New series on E4 starts 26th March, can't wait!

The last season had pretty clearly jumped the shark, so I'm not sure if I want to keep watching to be honest.

I'll give it a go, been more good than bad overall so benefit of the doubt for now.

More Hitchcock and Scully, please!

New series has been good, I think.

Can't believe we only started watching it last autumn when we'd finished Sunny.

Lee1-6Liv · « **Reply #87 on:** March 17, 2020, 06:02:55 pm »

The new series is a lot better than the last so far (7 episodes) but I can see it going the same way with Jake and Amy trying for a baby.

It had Pimento in it. That's enough for me... I love him...

Finally started on this about 10 days ago and already near to the end of season 3, I should probably pace myself in the event of having to self isolate/"work from home".

Pretty good, will need to see how it continues.

The Bournemouth Red · « **Reply #91 on:** April 3, 2020, 08:29:36 am »

That was funny, Pimento is a class character.

Read the script to the pilot episode over the weekend.

I had tears from laughing.

Caught me completely off guard, this. It’s very well made, almost like a cartoon in a real life setting. Good balance between semi-serious and funny. Melissa Fumero is smoking hot which doesn’t hurt.

It's brilliant. Maybe faded a bit in the last couple of years, as sitcoms often do, but still capable of great episodes and is consistently funny.

Really curious to see what Season 8 looks like. Think they scrapped the initial script due to everything that was going on in the US at the time and the need to address some of those bigger issues in the show going forward. I've always been impressed when they tackle serious subjects - thinking of the episode with Terry being stopped by the white cop outside his own home - so I reckon they'll do a good job.

It's the opposite for me. Especially the first season I didn't really get into it, but as the seasons went on and the characters developed the show has gotten funnier and funnier.

I love all the characters, but my absolute favourite is Adrian Pimento. All the episodes where he's in are just hilarious. Best scene is still the one where he's "trying" to teach Rosa and Jake how to fake take real drugs and "accidentally" just snorts about a ton of coke...

Only stumbled across this last year

. It's absolutely brilliant and the characters superb but Charles Boyle is pure class . Can't really warm to Gina though for some reason

Hitchcock and Scilly are underrated, I love every scene they're in.

I loved the episode that involved them, Rosa and the stolen ice cream

Hitchcock's "blowing the smoke off a pistol" tattoo creases me.

New series will be the last and will only be 10 episodes.

And it's not going to debut until sometime during the 21/22 US TV season, which runs September-May.

It was a fairly average season but this was one of the show's best moments.

Barefoot Doctor · « **Reply #105 on:** June 11, 2022, 12:07:24 am »

Last episodes aired on E4 this week - thought it was a perfect end to a great show.

Bizarrely, E4 showed a one-hour documentary on the show beforehand… which was chock full of clips from the episodes which weren’t due to air for another hour

thankfully I had it recorded and watched the episodes before the doc.

I hadn't realised there was a last series available, I'll have to give it a go.

By pure coincidence, I watched this on youtube earlier today!

RIP, Andre Braugher. Nine nine.

Riquende · « **Reply #108 on:** December 13, 2023, 10:36:53 am »

I'm surprised he was only 61, given his gravitas in the role I'd have thought he was about that age at the start of the show.

Anyway, taking a 'serious' actor and having them deliver deadpan lines is the spiritual link between this and the other great comedy Cop show, Police Squad!

Barefoot Doctor · « **Reply #109 on:** December 13, 2023, 10:47:04 am »

Man, that's devastating. I love all of Brooklyn 99, but it doesn't work without Braugher's Holt. He's the one who helps to keep it grounded, while also being responsible for some of its most silliest moments. That mix of pathos and willingness to look stupid was brilliant.

ScottScott · « **Reply #110 on:** December 13, 2023, 11:13:49 am »

Woke to this news and it's a kick in the balls. Only 61 as well which has blown my mind

He was so good as Holt, that perfect blend of serious and hilarious. Grounded the whole show and was a great board for Peralta throughout. Looks like I'll be watching it all again over Christmas

PhilV · « **Reply #111 on:** December 13, 2023, 11:25:15 am »

Horrible news to see this morning. He was perfect in his delivery and Captain Holt was a major part of the show. Very sad to hear of his passing, still very young.

filopastry · « **Reply #112 on:** December 13, 2023, 03:12:27 pm »

Awful news, he is wonderful in this.

Far too young
