“It’s exciting to see that both critics and fans love Brooklyn Nine-Nine as much as we do,” Fox president Kevin Reilly said of the network's decision to give such a coveted time slot to the show, which has averaged 6 million viewers. “With Andy and Andre [Braugher] out in front of this incredible ensemble, it feels like this show is going to be around for a long time.”
