This happened because the fans of the show went berzerk. We can't thank you — or @NBC — enough. #Brooklyn99

Financially, it seems that the pickup makes sense. Universal Television co-produces the series and NBCUniversal Television Distribution distributes. NBC released the following statement:
“Ever since we sold this show to Fox I’ve regretted letting it get away, and it’s high time it came back to its rightful home,” said Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment. “Mike Schur, Dan Goor, and Andy Samberg grew up on NBC and we’re all thrilled that one of the smartest, funniest, and best cast comedies in a long time will take its place in our comedy line-up. I speak for everyone at NBC, here’s to the Nine-Nine!”
What do you think? Are you glad that Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been picked up for a sixth season? Do you think the ratings will rise on NBC?
