Fox Orders a Full Season of RAISING HOPE

And the first freshman show of the 2010-2011 season to get a full order pickup is…Fox’s RAISING HOPE.

Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment for Fox Broadcasting Company, confirmed that the sitcom’s back nine episodes will be produced, via press release today.

“With RAISING HOPE, Greg Garcia captures a smart take on the working-class family with a great mix of wild comedy and a big dose of heart,” said Reilly. “The show is running like a Swiss clock, and we’re very happy with how well audiences have responded so far – so we’re confident it will build an even bigger audience throughout the season.”

A pretty big deal considering Fox’s less-than-stellar track record with live action comedies.

“I’m really happy for our incredibly talented cast and very hard-working crew. They have done an amazing job and deserve this,” said RAISING HOPE creator Greg Garcia in a statement. “Me? I was looking forward [to] some time off, but I guess that’s not going to happen.”

No sir, it is not.

Are you excited that RAISING HOPE will be sticking around?
