I feel like it was a gradual transformation of the Jake Peralta character, and looking back at it now, it was a beautiful thing. Even if Sandburg stayed annoying, I swear Andre Braugher is worth the pain.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
In looking at the episode titles/descriptions, I think I actually started liking Jake early in S2. Definitely by the trip the squad takes to the beach house.
Even if Sandburg stayed annoying, I swear Andre Braugher is worth the pain.
Oh my god, Andre Braugher is a GOLDEN GIFT.

I'm trying to remember. I know going in I was thinking, "eh, Samberg, I don't know" (I didn't hate him, but he was not my cup of tea) but initially it was enough of an ensemble show that I didn't mind him too much and at this point I'm kinda vaguely fond of Samberg because of Peralta.
But, you know, Holt and Rosa would probably be enough for me if everyone else was garbage.

People were worried about his ability to do comedy. Hard to believe now.

I also couldn't stand Gina in S1, and now she is MY QUEEN.

Same.
Terry is love, of course.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Honestly, I think I started to warm up to Samberg when I learned that he married Joanna Newsom - she seemed way too cool to have settled with just anybody.
I also remember being really annoyed at hints at Jake/Amy early season 1, and now I think they are one of the cutest couples on TV.

His relationship (including the actual pre-relationship friendship) with Amy really showed Jake's growth as a character.
"eh, Samberg, I don't know" (I didn't hate him, but he was not my cup of tea)
Yeah, this was me too.

So, we just watched the first episode of B99's 5th season and can I just say that Tim Meadows is a goddamn treasure. His horrifying cannibal stuff was simultaneously awful and hilarious. And then I would feel awful about laughing, but I would do it again immediately because Tim Meadows.
Oh, Jesus, I could NOT stop laughing at Tim Meadows, and then I felt terrible for laughing at cannibal jokes and then I just kept laughing. I had to pause the show to tell Tim how terrible I felt for laughing at cannibal jokes, but they were so damn funny.
Also, Holt saying YAS QUEEN with a finger snap is all I've ever wanted and more.
That was PURE GOLD. Holy crap.
