Angie Tribeca hits on every cylinder--sharp writing, consistent attention to detail (the visual jokes are just as funny as the spoken ones), terrific performances by Jones, MacArthur and Burns, as well as the secondary cast and guest stars, and great direction, including Steve Carell for the pilot episode.
There are a lot of well-worn cop commonalities in entertainment, but five hours of episodes, with wall-to-wall jokes targeting cliches big and small, makes one wonder if the series will have to change course soon, either in Season 2 or later down the line (assuming it gets picked up by TBS). It's certainly not an issue in Season 1, and the depth of knowledge on display actually leads to believing in the series' endurance.

A superb pastiche of the "Police Squad" brand of humor that has been so sadly neglected in recent years; this show's first season was one of the funniest things to air on TV in the new millenium.T he amazingly clever jokes come at an unrelenting rapid-fire pace from all angles. There isn't five seconds of screen time lacking a pun, a one liner or a sight gag; and the actors somehow manage to play it all straight. Top-notch.

SEASON 1
This sitcom’s battering ram of madcap inanity can run aground when a particular episode doesn’t have an especially memorable storyline, and perhaps Angie Tribeca caters too much to an audience in thrall to the old “Airplane!” style of so-broad-it-hurts humor. From the 1980s’ “Sledge Hammer!” to the more recent “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” smart-aleck cop comedies are nothing new. But in its minute-to-minute pleasures, Angie Tribeca is one big goofy grin of a sitcom. Season 2 can’t come quickly enough.
It’s not easy to make such inspired nonsense fly so effortlessly, and I give credit to the Carells for creating a buoyant atmosphere where the pace of clowning, word play, and visual punch lines never quits. Jones, so endearing on “Parks and Recreation,” jumps into the gonzo material without a hitch, showing more comic versatility than ever. And she is surrounded by a strong cast of regulars.
It's itself, and it's an abundantly silly, if very lightweight, show.... But so much of watching Angie felt like watching the most popular show from another country, one where the only jokes come from puns and sight gags, and spilling something is considered high humor.
Credit Jones and MacArthur with wringing about as much mileage as they can out of scenes where the two are thisclose to kissing before experiencing some spectacular interruption, but there’s only so far one can go on jokes that feel so well worn.
"Airplane" humor. I simply adore it. This show cracked me up. I have not laughed like this in years. I was so excited and I am sincerely hoping for further episodes.

SEASON 1
It's slapstick comedy, the kind The Naked Gun was renowned for. It's not for everyone and it isn't for me, I get tired of this kind of dynamic quite easily. But if it's the kind of thing you like, by all means watch this series and I'm sure you'll have a blast. I'm moving on to something else.

SEASON 1
Im a fan of Rashida Jones so was looking forward to this but I'm confused; does Carell have an agreement with the guys behind Police Squad and Airplane to blatantly rip of their material without fear of being sued? The jokes aren't just similar in a homage kind of way; they are the same. The thing is, only Leslie Neilson and the cast of Police Squad did it so much better.

Its Not Funny....
So I recently watched the episode were she investigates a stolen painting of a thumb and it presented so many clever "I see what you did there" type of jokes, but they just weren't funny enough, I just wanted to like this show, but I couldn't finish the episode. The characters mainly set up pretty silly 3 stooges style personalities that don't work at all and they drag on a lot were you just want to scream OK I GET IT. I watched the recent kidnap episode and just could not enjoy it. I must admit the show has well written plots, that all I can say positively about it. The jokes are meh, the cast is ok, and the overall show is a major pass, you will get a chuckle probably every 3 episodes or not? I don't know the show just doesn't work guys. I wanted to like the show but it was just too hard. I think they bumped American Dad! back on Mondays for re-runs of this show at 9PM, woah, **** ok
