Once it was shot, however, NBC decided to dump the season's episodes in the middle of summer and burn them off in just four weeks to end its obligation to the cancelled series as fast as possible rather than give it a slot in its fall schedule.

** This isn't the first time that Andre Braugher has played [[Series/HomicideLifeOnTheStreet an uber-serious and imposing police officer]]. But unlike the grim and gritty environment of urban realism that Detective Frank Pembleton starred in, Captain Ray Holt operates in a comedic setting populated by goofy eccentrics. On top of that, Frank Pembleton was the brilliant-but-arrogant lone-wolf cop who refused to play with others and had to be pressured into doing so by his commanding officer. In ''Brooklyn Nine-Nine'', Ray Holt is the commanding officer who has to deal with an arrogant lone-wolf detective who refuses to play with others and has to be pressured into doing so (Peralta). And to finish the gag off, on the earlier show Braugher played the partner of a detective who eventually came out as bisexual, while in this show he plays an openly gay police officer.
*** Braugher won awards for his dramatic character role on Homicide (and ''Thief'', and ''Men of a Certain Age''), and Captain Holt's main character trait is...being TheStoic. It takes a really good actor to emote that little.

* {{Corpsing}}: In "[[Recap/BrooklynNineNineS2E06JakeAndSophia Jake and Sophia]]", during the ColdOpen when Holt says "I'd like to play", Rosa's actress Stephanie Beatriz corpses and tries to cover her mouth with her hand. In the rest of the scene she's stoic as usual for Rosa. It was probably the really quick way the "I'd like to play" line is delivered in that and previous takes that caused the corpsing. And narrowly avoided at the end of the scene, after Holt's "hot damn!" The immediate cut to the opening credits following it was required because, according to Stephanie Beatriz, no one could keep straight faces long enough to properly finish the take.

*** In a case of "Screwed by the Affiliate" the air time of the finale had to be moved up by an hour in the New York City market because NBC's affiliate was required to air the New York Giants Thursday Night Football game that was starting at the same time. Many fans in the area were unaware of this due to a lack of alerts on social media and TV guides still showing an 8PM EST airing and were disappointed when they tuned in to NBC right before 8, only to find they were watching the final minutes of the episode.
