Amy's dorkiness is always amusing to me.
Who knew Holt was such a fan of the thigh gap?

Agreed, that was missed opportunity.
Man this season is excellent so far. Love Tim Meadows in everything he does.
Go watch OITNB for that.

never heard of it before today.... what kind of humor is it? To what other serie it can be compared?
there's lots of humor i really don't like in american show, but there's still some good one hidden in there!

It's hard to describe. If you're familiar with Spaced, then that's probably the best series to compare it to, off the top of my head. It's got the same mix of random silliness, word-play and serious character moments.
It's definitely worth a try, but if you're starting from Season 1 (advised, due to character and relationship growth) then I'd say it doesn't hit its stride until episode 4, so bear that in mind.
I'd say it's pretty close to Parks and Recreation (it has some of the same people behind it too), but slightly less feel-good and more absurd.

I didn't much care for that one outside of the ending.

To sex with Amy!
Eh, he was always a this person doesnt exist in the same reality character compared to the rest of the show. I think they got what they could out of him.
I appreciated that with these last two seasons theyre willing to be serious long enough for some of these beats to land, especially in regards to the problems with policing.

Yeah, it's crazy how the show is able to nail the Halloween episodes each year. Consistently one of the best episodes of the season. So many funny moments with the return of fake Boyle, Terry's loves of yogurt backfiring, fake Cheddar, and the surprise twist with Jake and Amy at the end.

Funny episode.
Weird seeing a Halloween episode this early, damn you baseball.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
Has this been confirmed as the last season?
No official word yet.

Yeah, there's still a lot of the season to air and it's already at a 0.6. I can only imagine where it will be by the spring. The only broadcast show that rated lower than it on all of Tuesday primetime was Legends of Tomorrow.
I still like the show but I wouldn't be sad or surprised if this is the last season, I do think it's run its course for the most part. Which is fine, not every show needs to run for 9 seasons.
This could also work, that's what I thought they were doing when they brought in Ken Marino (and Mantzoukas to a lesser extent) but they didn't change the core dynamic in the long run.

Agreed.

I love how out of character, but completely in character it is for Holt to say, "You're just some common bitch," or "This bitch? Please!"
Yeah, they're at 1.5 million avg I think, pretty sad if this is it.
I hope we get to see the wedding!
Do ratings include streaming? I only watch this on Hulu.

Hunky Nostradamus
No. They're talking about the Live + Same Day viewership on Fox.
Seems outdated and demographically biased then.

They know how low the ratings are. Writing is on the wall at this point.
My prediction is that they're doing the proposal wedding storyline to start closing off character's stories because this season is it. It's a good spot to end Jake and Amy's story, and having the final heist in the show have no winner was a solid way to end it. That way we're not left wanting revenge in a future season that will not come.

When you factor in DVR and whatnot, it's typically a case of the rich getting richer and the poor getting a little less poor. Like, Empire is Fox's #1 scripted show in live ratings and also their #1 in L+3, L+7, etc. Brooklyn Nine-Nine is one of their lower rated shows in live ratings and also one of their lower rated shows in L+3, L+7, etc.
