Fox announced on Monday at the Television Critics Association press tour that two of its most critically acclaimed comedies, New Girl and Brooklyn Nine Nine, will be airing a crossover episode this fall. While that’s something fairly common in The CW’s comic book universe and Dick Wolf’s Chicago shows, our next primetime get-together will be of the comedic variety, as the worlds of New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine collide into chuckle-dust.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which stars Andy Samberg and New Girl, starring Zooey Deschanel, are set to air their fourth and sixth seasons on September 20, before the October 11 crossover event a few weeks later. “We know we have a big shoes to fill, and we look forward to disappointing everyone”.
Even with all of the interconnected universes in pop culture, it’s still always a pretty big event whenever two TV shows decide to merge for a crossover episode (or episodes). The fund begins with Brooklyn Nine-Nine at 7:00 and concludes with New Girl, starting at 8:30.
And then we have Brooklyn Nine-Nine which is equally amusing and full of quirky characters with a bit of crime thrown in.
Meriwether’s mirthful satire aside, the idea of New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine crossing over is hardly the most absurd notion ever introduced. “Stay tuned for our two casts to do a soulful R&B number on Empire, co-anchor the FOX 10 O’Clock News and connect for a touchdown on FOX NFL Sunday”. He also earnestly expressed excitement about the upcoming interaction with characters from their timeslot neighbor stating, “We’re huge fans of New Girl here at Nine-Nine”. On the CW, shows like Arrow and The Flash will have crossover episodes regularly, but then again these particular shows share the same production studios and Greg Berlanti as either a creator or executive producer.

She quipped, “There’s a 50 percent chance Alf will also be in both episodes. And also to see what their craft services are like, compared to ours”. “But there’s also a 50 percent chance that it is a lie”, referring to the ’80s sitcom character.
