With its 'Bee-nado' event, '9-1-1' has channeled the killer bee hysteria of the 1990s and campy made-for-TV disaster movies to remind us why we love broadcast network TV.
The advertising worked. Despite never having seen an episode of “9-1-1” prior to its Season 8 premiere, the first responder procedural shot to the top of my must-watch list after seeing its “Bee-nado” promo on TV. And online. And even on an unaffiliated streaming service. The three-part event concludes with the episode “Final Approach,” premiering Thursday on ABC.
Watching a swarm of killer bees cause a plane crash is easy to follow, whether you know a character’s name is Athena Grant or you refer to her as “the cop played by Angela Bassett.” It’s part of the reason the procedural format continues to thrive in an ever-changing television landscape. The success of shows like 'Law & Order,' 'CSI,' 'Criminal Minds' and 'NCIS' has birthed major TV franchises. Even '9-1-1' has its own spinoff.
