Fox's 'Raising Hope' is the fall's first freshman TV series to earn a full-season order
Raise a glass to "Raising Hope," the first new show to earn a full-season order this TV season.
On Wednesday, Fox ordered nine additional episodes of the single camera-comedy, which stars Lucas Neff, Martha Plimpton, Garret Dillahunt, Shannon Woodward and Cloris Leachman, in a recurring role.
The series, which airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m., was created by Greg Garcia of "My Name Is Earl." It follows the Chance family as they unexpectedly raise a baby girl.

I turned this one off. It had little entertainment value for me.

I like this one. Martha Plimpton does a great job and it actually has very endearing moments.

I've been enjoying it.
Of course, my ex-in-laws were train wrecks like this kid's folks, so it's almost like someone wrote a tv show about them.
Plus, it's nice to see perennial bad guy Garret Dillahunt not play a homicidal maniac for a change.
Always a good thing.

The show is creative and funny.
I'll be happy if and when they bring back Kate Micucci. She's talented, off-beat, and cute as hell.

Favorite new show this year, nice counterpoint to the upper middle class, super together families of Modern Family, the other great sitcom on TV right now.
