Fox announced today that it picked up Raising Hope for a full season by ordering the back 9 episodes. Out of all the new shows of the season, this was not the one I expected to be the first one to get a full season order. I thought CBS would’ve ordered a Hang 9 to Hawaii Five-0 first or The CW would’ve cheered on Hellcats or NBC would’ve made The Event’s pick up and event or ABC…well let’s No Ordinary Family another week. Seriously Raising Hope is doing OK and not that great in the ratings, so why this show over the other show that have been doing great in the ratings? I guess Fox sees something in the show that I don’t. Maybe it is me, but this show just didn’t do anything for me. Now I have to wonder if the pick up is a nail in Running Wilde’s coffin because maybe Fox will start running back to back episodes of Hope when they finally tame Keri Russell’s show like she tamed her hair…
UPDATE: While the news was good over Fox, the news wasn’t as good over at Fox. The Live Feed is reporting that NBC has halted production on Outlaw. The Jimmy Smits show has aired three episodes and has filmed 5 more, the network at this time plans to air the remaining eps to see if the ratings can improve. If they do then the show will go back in production, if not it will join Lone Star and My Generation. I know I am in the minority, but I actually like this show. It is different than other legal dramas because it takes cases that no one else wants. So please watch this show on Friday at 10p so we can get this show back in production! C’mon NBC what show that doesn’t have Tom Selleck in it ever does well on Friday night at 10p???
