This is proof that everything you’ll ever love will die, at least when it’s in the hands of Fox. The company on Thursday cancelled hit cop comedy show Brooklyn Nine-Nine, after just five seasons.
Not noice. Not smort. In fact, most of the internet is pretty upset too.
No ad to show here.
Fans of the show took to Twitter lamenting the decision, and celebrating the show’s values.
WE ARE NOT GIVING UP!!!! #saveb99

All the rhetoric I’ve seen around #b99 is about how funny the show is, and while that’s true, it’s so much more. The representation on the show is handled with such grace and poise- they handle real issues in a sensitive light #RenewB99

This before cast members Joe Lo Truglio and Stephanie Beatriz made us all weep.
I love you fans. I love you squad. It has been an incredible five years. I’m so very lucky, so deeply thankful to have been part of a show that has brought so much joy to so many. NINE-NINE!

Squad, we love you. What a gift this series has been: it’s been my honor. Your sadness is noted. NINE- NINE! pic.twitter.com/qAcOYfpNZh

If you aren’t crying, you’re crying now.
While no doubt sad news, I celebrate all that #Brooklyn99 has accomplished, how much it has meant to me personally and I will forever cherish the time I was gifted in the company of these fine people.

There’s still hope though.
Companies like Netflix, Disney and Hulu exist and have often expressed interest in picking up old shows and reviving them. Need I mention Queer Eye?
Even so, it’s another sad day for comedy shows, especially since The Big Bang Theory has (somehow) been renewed for its 12th season.
The final episode of the Nine-Nine will air in the US on 20 May.
