That is, until <em>Brooklyn-99<\/em>. Airing on Fox (but can be also found on Hulu) at 8:30 p.m. every Tuesday night, this show is well into its fourth season as the best comedy on TV. Andy Samberg\u2019s hilarious writing coupled with an all-star cast&#8211;of which four people are people of color and two are canonically not straight&#8211;is the recipe for a perfect, stress-free pastime. The show balances effortless humor &amp; charisma, political commentary, and intriguing plot with little problem, making it something the whole family can enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>Ok, maybe not the <em>whole<\/em> family.<\/p>\n<p>But probably the whole quad.<\/p>\n<p>It centers on the ninety-ninth precinct of the NYPD and follows a colorful band of characters featuring: Jake Peralta, the goofy, Die Hard-loving detective with daddy issues; Amy Santiago, Jake\u2019s arguably more talented partner with a solid work ethic and serious respect for her superiors; Charles Boyle, the lovable sidekick with a questionable obsession with cousins, food, and Jake; Rosa Diaz, the leather jacket wearing, motorcycle riding, carries-a-knife-in-every-pocket-including-shoes detective who, despite her hard exterior, loves her 99 family; Gina Linetti, the theatrical, social media goddess who \u201cworks\u201d as a receptionist; Terry Jeffords, the 6 foot 3 looks-like-he-could-kill-you-but-really-just-wants-a-hug man of pure muscle with a soft-spot for yogurt, his daughters, and the Skyfire series; and Captain Raymond Holt, the corgi-owning, gay police captain with a &#8216;thicc&#8217; vocabulary that you never knew you needed.<\/p>\n<p>The season 4&#8217;s hour long half-season finale airs on Tuesday, December 12. If you\u2019re not caught up by then&#8230;you have all of winter break to do it. Happy watching.
