Sterling K. Brown guest stars on Sunday’s “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” and the “This Is Us” star is in trouble.

Brown’s character Philip Davidson has allegedly done something so bad that Cap. Holt (Andre Braugher) is coming out of interrogation retirement just to break him. Or maybe that decision is more a reflection on the 99th precinct boss’ confidence level in Det. Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) to score a confession.

After all, Holt skipped the damn opera to do this — and you know he can’t be happy about that.

Live TV Musicals Ranked by Ratings, From 'Rent' to 'Grease' (Photos)

Fox’s “Rent” got evicted in ratings on Sunday -- at least, when comparing the semi-live TV musical to all the ones that came before it. And yes, that includes another poor performer, Fox’s “A Christmas Story Live.”

Due to a key cast member’s injury, the network's “Rent” used mostly pre-taped footage from a Saturday dress rehearsal and couldn't hold a (lit or unlit) candle to Fox and NBC's previous live TV musicals among adults in the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49 demographic or in total viewers.

Scroll through our gallery to see how each of broadcast TV's previous live productions ranks by Nielsen numbers since the genre's rebirth. Least-viewed is first, most-watched last.
