September 16, 2013 at 8:16PM
BROOKLYN NINE-NINE: From Emmy Award-winning writer/producers of "Parks and Recreation" and starring Emmy Award winners Andy Samberg (L) and Andre Braugher (R), BROOKLYN NINE-NINE is a new single-camera workplace comedy about what happens when a hotshot detective (Samberg) gets a new Captain (Braugher) with a lot to prove. BROOKLYN NINE-NINE premieres Tuesday, Sept. 17 (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. ©2013 Fox Broadcasting Co. Cr: Patrick Eccelsine/FOX.

Latinos in America

"Latino Americans" (7 p.m., KTCA, Ch. 2), a six-hour documentary series that will air over the next three Tuesdays, is an ambitious look at how the minority group has helped shape our country. Maybe all network executives should be forced to watch this, in hopes that it will inspire them to actually hire Latino Americans for their TV shows. Benjamin Bratt narrates.

Cop rock

Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher (right) make a delightfully odd couple in "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" (7:30 p.m., KMSP, Ch. 9), a police-station comedy that compares favorably to "Barney Miller." Let's just hope Samberg can resist putting something naughty in a box.

Once more around

Former spouses NeNe and Gregg Leakes re-tie the knot in "I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding" (8 p.m., Bravo), a new docu-series that chronicles their extravagant wedding. If all goes well — for Bravo, at least — we should have "NeNe: The Second Divorce" by 2015.
