Brooklyn Nine-Nine - "Pontiac Bandit" - 1/7/14


Jake is interested in one of Rosa's perps, Doug Judy (Guest Star Craig Robinson, "The Office"), who has information about the "Pontiac Bandit," a car thief whom Jake has been tracking for years. Meanwhile, the station tries to accommodate a scooter-bound Charles' every need when he returns to work, but he proves to be too much to handle. And Captain Holt struggles to find a home for two puppies in the all-new "Pontiac Bandit" episode of BROOKLYN NINE-NINE airing Tuesday, Jan. 7 (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (BRK-113) (TV-14 D, L)

Great episode to return with. Everyone had their quality moments, even Gina was good. And Santiago is so damned cute and I think getting funnier as the season progresses.

Doug Judy is the best.

I called the ending two minutes into it, but still a funny episode.

Great episode. Nice to see Jake make a mistake in his crime-solving abilities for once. I get the feeling Doug Judy might be a recurring character.

Craig Robinson is good in everything.

Nice comeback episode. I caught up with the first 11 over the last two weeks. This show is hilarious.

Does everyone else have the hots for Santiago too? Being DVDtalk, I imagine some think she's hot while everyone else thinks shes either too fat or too skinny.

Too much Rosa (and she's my favorite character).

Rosa can't be the focus of an episode. She needs to be in the background, only coming out to make snarky comments. Her role in the Thanksgiving episode was perfect.

I thought it was good to bring Rosa out a bit more, especially establishing her relationship with Jake. Makes her more of a character and not just "the crabby one". Big thumbs up from me .

The captain is great in this.

"You ran over my foot. I am in incredible pain."
"My husband's dog Cheddar had relations with a neighbor dog Karate and produced these two smaller dogs."
"Do you need a math tutor? Because the department can provide one for you."

Loved Jake in the suit, as well as the Fivel and Total Recall mentions, and quoting Die Hard. Doug Judy was awesome, Craig Robinson and Samberg had great interaction too and I hope he comes back.

I didn't think the show had that much Rosa at all, she was along for the ride but it was still mostly Jake.

I have loved every single episode of this show so far - even the ones everyone else seemed to think were weaker.

This was the best episode since the pilot. Doug Judy from the Office was great, he should be added as a regular.

The deadpan way he delivered this line was just priceless. Those puppies were adorable too.

I loved the visual of Holt walking around with two puppies in his arms the entire episode.

He has been great. It's been nice to see him in something that isn't serious or over the top dramatic.
