Never watched this show before but watching the season premier and some dude is in prison. and he's friends with a guy who went away for eating children. They keep making cannibal jokes. and I was only half paying attention to the show until I realized he actually is a cannibal

yea new episode I think, tonight. and I have no idea on the backstory of who these people or why he's in prison. I just find it odd that in 2017 it's ok to have a sitcom that has a friendly cannibal child killer character played off as joke and portrayed in a sympathetic light.

My ex tried getting me into that show. Unfortunately, she's the kind of feminist that will praise a show for its diverse cast over quality writing, so I was wary. Still haven't watched it.

How can you claim a show jumped the shark when you've never watched it before?

I'm only on the second season now and the show is good.

it doesnt play off the fact that it has a diverse cast. Its just mostly like "some people are other races" and they dont do much from there.

The most they get into it are a few lines about Holt being a gay black cop in the 80s. Which is something i applaud them for because they address the fact but they dont over preach it or dwell on it

Just think. Now you're all set to hunt and kill to your heart's content.

I meant more the channel in general not the show specifically.

Fox has jumped the shark.......with Brooklyn 99

I just mean they may have gone too far as a channel now that they have a show where one of the characters is a friendly cannibal. Its still on, and as I speak the main character is being all chummy with the cannibal who is acting charming and nice even though he admits to killing kids

They have a show where one of the most popular characters is a cartoon pedophile but a brief appearance of a cannibal is what you consider shark jumping?

I find it interesting that Fox has always been the 'edgy' channel while Fox News is completely different.

I don't know what the big deal is about a child cannibal being nice in prison. I'm guessing that's the joke.

it wasn't brief. he was one of the main characters of the episode, appearing the whole time. it wasn't a quick joke in one scene. he kept showing up. and talked to the main character the entire episode. anyway, the cartoon pedophile is portrayed differently. there is no doubt that guy is bad. they don't show him as charming. this guy on Brooklyn 99 acts like a normal guy. you wouldn't even know he was a child killer if he didn't admit to it on the show. basically they made a character that is a child murderer but is like a typical sitcom character. he's sympathetic and nice and funny. and he eats kids. I didn't turn the channel in disgust. watched the rest of the show. but it was weird and I am kinda shocked.

Im going to assume that youre talking about Quagmire. I know that he done some pretty disgusting stuff, but dont remember him being involved with children.

I thought he was talking about that squeaky voiced old man who liked Chris.
