The Friday Link for 9/12/25

Hi all! 

One of the best shows from the last 15 years was Brooklyn Nine-Nine.  The cast was so good and it's one of the few series where there were a few good laughs every episode.  A lot of that had to do with the insanely talented Andy Samberg, but everyone else on that cast was great, especially the late Andre Braugher, who was like a modern Leslie Neilsen (who I featured last week on the Link!). Like Neilsen, Braugher was better know as a serious dramatic actor, until someone gave him a chance to uncork some comedy.  One of the best casting decisions ever! 

There was a running gag on the series of the Halloween Heist.  Every year they would have someone trying to outsmart everyone else in the police department.  What happened ended up being great comedy, as you tried to figure out who out played who ("Like Frans Bruggen plays the flute!"). 

Here is a running tab of all the Hallowween Heists from Brooklyn Nine-Nice and whodunit! 

Another clip this week is another classic from ZeFrank, the master of real science nature videos wrapped up in some outstanding comedy!  Today, it's True Facts: Bats, The Science of the Hunt!

And finally tonight is a clip from Stephen Colbert, commemorating the 10th Anniversary of The Late Show.  It is great to see Julianne Moore ( I just rewatched The Big Lebowski!) but trust me, the pay off at the end is spectacular! 

Have a great weekend everyone.  Be safe.

Please make sure to stay vaccinated.  There are too many idiots in power trying to convince you that you shouldn't.  They are lying to you.  Get vaccinated!
