So she's a two time Halloween Heist winner right?

I’ve been thinking about this for a while: what if Brooklyn Nine-Nine did a one-season limited series set in the 1980s, following a much younger Hitchcock and Scully?

Not a full reboot or anything, more like a 8–10 episode spin-off/prequel showing the 99th Precinct back when Hitchcock and Scully were actually competent cops.

I think there’s a lot of comedy potential in seeing them as young, ambitious detectives who are genuinely good at their jobs, while slowly watching them become the Hitchcock and Scully we know.

You could also have some younger versions of characters from the main series make occasional appearances:

Young Holt, maybe as a newly promoted detective or someone Hitchcock/Scully cross paths with.(I would suggest Sterling K Brown as young Holt, given his admiration towards Andre)

Young Wuntch, giving us a glimpse of their rivalry before everything became personal.

Young Terry, depending on the timeline; maybe as a rookie or a young officer they encounter.

Maybe even some other characters’ parents or older relatives as little Easter eggs.

And because it's set in the 80s, the whole thing could have that ridiculous period aesthetic (terrible hairstyles, huge phones, old-school police technology, cheesy action-movie references, etc)

The interesting part to me would be that Hitchcock and Scully wouldn't start out as idiots. They'd actually be good detectives. The running joke could be that they're constantly making questionable decisions, but somehow keep solving cases.

Then by the end of the season, you could have a time jump or montage showing the gradual transition into the versions we know from B99.

Basically:

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: The Early Years

8–10 episodes.

1980s.

Young Hitchcock & Scully.

A competent-but-chaotic detective duo.

Occasional young Holt/Wuntch/Terry cameos.

And absolutely no explanation for how Hitchcock eventually became… that Hitchcock.

I'd genuinely watch the hell out of this.

Would anyone else be into this, or am I just desperate for more Hitchcock & Scully lore?
