Your support makes all the difference.Fox's hit comedy series Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been cancelled after five seasons on the air leaving many fans shocked and upset.
The series - starring Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher - is the only remaining Fox show from an outside studio, Universal TV.
In September 2013, Brooklyn Nine-Nine premiered to decent ratings and quickly accrued a second season.
It earned two Golden Globe awards in its inaugural season for Best TV Series - Comedy or Musical and Best Actor in a Comedy for Samberg.
Despite its accolades and cult-following, Brooklyn Nine-Nine didn't garner a wide audience and suffered scheduling shifts between Sunday and Tuesday.
Following a long winter break, the show headed back to its old 8:30pm Sunday slot this spring, replacing the show Ghosted.
Fans posted their devastation about the news to Twitter.
One user questioned why the show was being cancelled saying it was a "diverse, inoffensive and truly hilarious show."
In response to the news, another person said, "Culture is dead."
Another individual apologised to the show saying they "deserved better.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine was created by the Parks and Recreation duo of Dan Goor and Michael Schur and focused on Det. Jake Peralta (Samberg) - an odd bird who is also a great police officer.
Braugher portrayed his tough captain, Raymond Holt, scoring three consecutive Emmy nods for Supporting Actor during seasons 2 through 5.
The show also starred Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Joe Lo Truglio, Stephanie Beatriz, Chelsea Peretti, Joel McKinnon Miller and Dirk Blocker.
