Brooklyn Nine-Nine
《这个警察有点烦》
When: Tuesdays on Fox
播出时间:每周二在福克斯电视网播出
Premiere: Sept 17, 2013
首播日期:2013年9月17日
This is a cop comedy in which Andy Samberg plays the goony but gifted detective Jake Peralta. Detective Peralta is gifted enough that he’s never had to work too hard or follow the rules too closely. Perhaps because he has the best arrest record among his colleagues, he’s been enabled - if not indulged - throughout his entire career.
这是一部警匪题材的喜剧,安迪•萨姆伯格饰演有点天然呆却十分优秀的侦探杰克•佩拉尔塔。佩拉尔塔侦探天赋过人,他从不需要辛苦工作或循规蹈矩。或许因为他的逮捕记录是同事当中最高的,他的整个职业生涯可以说是平步青云,前提是如果你不觉得他过分沉溺于个人功绩的话。
That is, until the precinct gets a new commanding officer, Captain Ray Holt (Andre Braugher). Captain Holt believes in rules and regulations, two concepts that have long been overlooked by the detectives in the 99th precinct.
直到该辖区来了一位新的长官——雷•霍尔特队长(安德烈•布拉格饰)时,这一切都要改变了。霍尔特队长是个循规蹈矩的人,而第99区的侦探们长期以来忽视的正是规章和制度。
Jake’s colleagues are a brilliant and capable bunch, but lack a certain level of discipline and leadership. They compete with each other, annoy each other, gossip and flirt, but at the end of the day, they have each other’s backs covered.
尽管杰克的同事们都十分聪明能干,但却缺乏一定的组织性和记录性。尽管他们相互竞争、惹恼彼此、八卦和调情一样都不少,但到头来,他们还是相互支持、亲密无间。

When: Tuesdays on Fox
播出时间:每周二在福克斯电视网播出
Premiere: Sept 17, 2013

This is the only “old” show, starting its second season this fall, on our recommendation list. The series follows a skilled doctor trying to balance both her personal and professional life. Dr Mindy Lahiri (Mindy Kaling) is a talented obstetrician with a hectic personal life, who struggles to find the right guy, the right outfit and the right attitude. Mindy shares a practice with two doctors, neither of whom make life any easier for her. Dr Danny Castellano (Chris Messina) is a hothead and a guy who criticizes her for everything, including her struggling love life and her lack of professionalism. In contrast, Dr Jeremy Reed (Ed Weeks) is the walking definition of bad news. Having traveled to Haiti at the end of season one, Mindy returns from her volunteer mission hoping to save the practice from disarray, only to find that the office has gotten along just fine without her.
这是我们推荐名单上唯一的一张“老面孔”,该剧集于今秋上演第二季。剧中讲述了一位医术精湛的医生是如何在个人生活与职业生涯间寻求平衡的。明迪• 拉赫瑞(明迪•卡灵饰)是位能干的妇产科医生,但私生活却是一片忙乱。她努力寻找“真命天子”、适合自己的服装以及正确的生活态度。尽管明迪与另外两名医生共事,但他们并未使明迪的生活有任何改观。丹尼卡•卡斯特拉诺医生(克里斯•梅西纳饰)是个急性子,他会吐槽明迪所做的一切,包括批评她感情生活混乱以及缺乏专业精神等等。相比之下,杰里米•里德医生(埃德周)是噩梦制造者的活生生的例子。上一季结束时,明迪开始了海地之行,这一季她结束了志愿者任务正式回归,希望把诊所从一团混乱中解救出来,却发现没有自己,诊所里依然风平浪静。
