Here's the latest song from The Lonely Island as part of their series Wack Wednesdays in which they're dropping a new song or video every Wednesday until the release of their new album, The Wack Album. Called "Semicolon," the track finds Lonely Islanders Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer backed up by Solange, and it may just be the best grammar-related rap song ever.
Sure, it's not as big of a deal as today's new Arrested Development trailer, but this is still pretty exciting. This is the trailer for Brooklyn Nine-Nine, a workplace comedy set at an NYC police precinct that stars Andy Samberg and was created by Mike Schur and Dan Goor (Parks and Rec). It's far and away the most promising new comedy of the season, with a Fred Armisen cameo in the pilot to boot.
Hit the jump for the trailer to Seth MacFarlane's new Fox show, Dads, starring Seth Green, Giovanni Ribisi, and Martin Mull, and other new Fox shows Enlisted and Us & Them:

Between Two Ferns co-creator Scott Aukerman directed the Between Two Ferns part, while the Lonely Island guys directed the music video. Also, Ed Norton.

Networks always develop a ton of pilots, only choosing a few to go to series, and Deadline reports that execs at all the networks are "very happy" with their comedy pilots this time around. With shows from Rebel Wilson, Andy Samberg, and John Mulaney in the mix, there are a lot of high-profile comedy pilots this season, and we whittled them down to nine shows that we hope make it through the pilot season gauntlet. And just [...]
