BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS TUESDAYS ON FOX -- Your favorite hosts decide that a better way to talk about this string of episodes is to basically focus entirely on Adrian Pimento.

It's a long, rambly episode where your two favorite hosts talk about Karen Peralta, The 9-8, and House Mouses. We keep getting lost in rabbit trails, but we manage to pull it together at the end. Drop us an ask at http://back-in-the-field.tumblr.com/askAv Back in the Field

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS TUESDAYS ON FOX -- In our second catching up episode, Carl and Aarthi discuss Hostage Situation, Nine Days, and The Cruise in quick succession.

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX ON SUNDAYS AT 8:30PM ET/PT -- We took a long hiatus that ended up getting extended for a host of reasons, but the short version is: WE ARE BACK, baby!

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX ON SUNDAYS AT 8:30PM ET -- A short ep which is grossly late, where your hosts mostly chat about Rosa, since the A and C plots didn't really hold our interest.

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX AT 8:30ET -- This week, your favorite sitcom podcasters cover fat-shaming and its place both within the show as well as the creative family, badass boss ladies bedeviling bird-monikered boys, and possibly the strongest A-plot we've seen in a year. Black male physicality, femslash undertones, and found family feelings …

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX AT 8:30ET -- We're talking about Boyle's latest doomed relationship and the viability of Boyle's romantic paradigms (spoiler alert: outlook's not good) all while Jake keeps yes-anding him, which makes Aarthi wonder if the Actual Ship of the show is Boyle and Jake, and their FRIENDship. Meanwhile, the C plot is roundly…

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX AT 8:30ET -- Late to the party but still pretty, Carl and Aarthi talk about parallels between this episode and The Boyle-Linetti Wedding, from S2. Your hosts seem undecided about the episode overall, but a strong B and C plot keeps the episode going even when there are missteps along the way. In a rare example, Carl a…

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX AT 8:30ET ON SUNDAYS -- It's the first episode of the season, the first time we have a "previously on," and the first time BITF is bi-coastal! Lotta firsts tonight, and two "missing" episodes of the podcast notwithstanding, we're excited to talk romance, pigeon pants, and Dozerpads. Our segues remain terrible, our rhy…

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX AT 8:30ET -- It's a shortie! We're zooming through the B-plot to focus on the A-plot and its excellent dynamics.

Aarthi's avoiding spoilers,…

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX AT 8:30ET -- Jake goes, once more, into the breach. Aarthi and Carl tackle the B-plot mostly half-heartedly in an effort to do the hard work before getting to the good stuff.

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX AT 8:30ET -- Jake gets injured, Gina is nice to Amy, and Boyle loves Atlantic City.

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX AT 8:30ET -- No new episode of b99 happened the week this aired, but Aarthi and Carl are back with a podcast dedicated to all the fun things you missed while on hiatus.

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX AT 8:30ET -- We can't stand it, we know TPTB planned it, we're gonna set it straight, this watergate...and also this copyright infringement. Carl and Aarthi talk about Jake's insistence that, "Oh my gah, it's a mirage," and he's tellin' y'all it's sabotaaaaaage. Okay, okay, jokes (and ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY song parodie…

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX AT 8:30ET -- In what can only be described as "a strange turn," this week's podcast is probably secretly about food?

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX AT 8:30ET -- This week, Aarthi sits down with a fellow B99 megafan while Carl taps out of podcast stuff in lieu of Real Life stuff. Sadie Doyle is better known as myparade or skyeborn on Tumblr, and has a long history in fandom. It's a fun, meandering conversation that we present to you entirely unedited. It's actuall…

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX AT 8:30ET -- This week, Carl and Aarthi talk about, well, how much they liked this episode. Which is probably why it runs short. Boyle gets a win, Gina is better at relationships, Amy shuts down a bad "Title of Your Sextape" joke, and Terry is mentioned just once in the 'cast, oops.…

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE AIRS ON FOX AT 8:30PM ET -- In today's podcast, we talk about Amy's sheer magnificence. And Jupiter Ascending. And the Rosa-Amy dynamic. And Holt Gina-ing Gina.

Unfortunately, Ep 29 of BITF has been delayed! In the meantime, check out our guest stint on @TheTelevoid instead -- we got to talk about a show that's NOT Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and we had some laughs.

Remember to send us asks for our special Q&A episode next week!Shout-outs to Prentice Penny, and to all the crew who made the set look extra great.Av Back in the Field

In this episode, Aarthi and Carl watchalong "The Jimmy Jab Games," which is an act of almost pure pleasure. Aarthi loses her cool over continuity and Carl loses his mind in a Kanye moment, but they both agree that bikes are the worst.Shout outs:40millionyearsbrooklyn99gifsLakshmi SundaramRick Page and the rest of the Brooklyn Nine-Nine Crew…

In this episode, Carl and Aarthi discuss racially-charged problematicals, Derek Jeter, TV shows that Aarthi thinks are good and Carl knows nothing about, and The 'Bu.

it's season finale time! We change up the format a little bit, squee over shipping, fawn over friendships, and then ruminate on rumors about Season Two. This episode was recorded in advance, so more recent previews and stuff are not included. Both Carl and Aarthi love this episode, and we're both super excited for S2!…

We are talking UNSOLVEABLE. Carl has the terrific insight that the title doesn't refer to Case 52ABX-32QJ at all, and Aarthi is a little too into Babylon and all its potential for shipping. We talk at length about Amy and Teddy's relationship and how it impacts Jake both directly and indirectly, and in doing so kind of end up making ourselves a bit…

It's the episode that keeps being misspelled by offical sources: Fancy Brudgom! Jake is a terrific friend in this episode, and we give him the credit he is due. Meanwhile, There are inexplicable diets happening (and crazy-amazing food choices by Gina) in the break room. Finally, Holt and Rosa get paired up for the first time and it turns out it's a…

Carl and Aarthi share some apartment hunting in New York stories and some performance evaluation horror stories (spoiler alert: it's mostly Aarthi telling these stories). We also talk at length about how great Jake and Amy's friendship/partnership is, and how much we like seeing Boyle and Rosa be friends without a…

We're Full Boyle -- but not for Boyle. It's a shorter episode, so we're releasing two this week! Carl and Aarthi talk about Jake being a good friend, Boyle's focus changing and how that's amazing, and how the Jake/Amy scenes while welcome are wholly gratuitous.Av Back in the Field

It's an all-shipping episode! Carl and Aarthi quickly cover what they enjoyed in the B-plot to, instead, focus on Jake and Amy's shipping arc in the latter half of the season. Aarthi posits that Amy spends this episode pushing Jake to give her an answer and/or take action. Meanwhile, Jake's shortsightedness causes him to inadvertently close a windo…

It's the episode that *should* have happened after The Ebony Falcon -- Carl and Aarthi start talking about bougie topics, such as what one brings to a fancy party, tenure, and The New Yorker. Carl appreciates Rosa's everything, and Aarthi is perhaps too sympathetic to Amy's overall plight. We also discuss winners and losers for the night. (Hint: Ja…

After many coughing-related trials and tribulations, we bring you "The Ebony Falcon." Within this episode you will find surprising wisdom and knowledge about the noble art of ballet, mild discussion of gyms, and a spurious Adventure Time crossover AU.
