This show is so stinkin' funny. Jake's reaction when he was given the assignment to guard Captain Holt was laugh-out-loud priceless. Definitely my favorite comedy right now.

Not as funny as a few earlier episodes, but still one of the funniest shows on tv.

^ Agree. Not one of the stronger ep's, but still pretty good. What continues to get me is Holt's deadpan delivery to everything. Braugher's casting was spot-on for this role.

I'm gonna have to re-watch earlier episodes, but are they dumbing down Santiago? I remember her in the beginning as the intelligent foil to Peralta's goofiness, but now she's just the clueless ditz desperately seeking Holt's approval.

Boyle's butt is a hero!

Anyone else think the cast might actually be too big? It's hard squeezing in all of the characters in a 30-minute sitcom format.

Naw, I think they just have to whittle down the plots a bit. Keep it down to one plot and one subplot (although now that I'm writing this, I remember when Seinfeld used to have four distinct plots, one for each of the main characters, and the plots would weave and intersect and eventually all tie together....damn that was a good show!).

This past episode had Peralta guarding Holt, Santiago wanting to do the Christmas card (which led to the sub-subplot of getting Rosa to smile), Boyle wanting to catch a flight, and Jeffords requalifying for field duty. Scratch one or two of the plots, integrate the now plotless characters into one of the existing ones, and it irons out. I still think the writers are trying to figure out the direction of the show and the characters and expect the better episodes are yet to come. They've got a good basis though, and some very talented and funny actors.

My Other Self

No, she always came off as a bit of a dolt. She's oblivious to the fact that she's kind of goofy, which is why her role is funny.

Finally caught up. Rose had a nicer smile after the pop n lock but I guess that was impromptu.

I love Braugher and Crews in this but I find Chelsea Peretti incredibly annoying.

I am so in on this show. Glad I gave it a shot after ignoring it for so long.

That just means you were born without a soul.

Or people that actually find her funny were born without a soul.

I think I love her
