Fantastic news, TV junkies!  Today FOX ordered a full season of the breakout comedy Raising Hope.  It’s the first new fall series to be granted additional episodes.  With a full back-nine order in effect, Raising Hope will air a total of 22 episodes this season.  The decision was made based on the high ratings the show has received thus far.  It’s is the highest rated new FOX series, #1 new comedy among teens and young women, the #2 new comedy among adults 18-34, and one of the top 5 new comedies among adults 18-49.  In other words, it delivers the goods.  The writing is impeccable, the characters are relatable, and the show carries an air of wacky, endearing working-class familial values that draw you in week after week.  Breakout star Martha Plimpton (the mother) embodies all of this.  If you’re not watching this show, catch up on Hulu and quit slacking!  Obviously this is comedy gold in it for the long haul.  Raising Hope airs Tuesdays at 9PM on FOX.
