Fox has ordered nine additional episodes of freshman sitcom “Grandfathered,” bringing it to a full 22-episode first season, the network announced Wednesday.
“Grandfathered” stars John Stamos and Josh Peck.
“‘Grandfathered’ had the Herculean task of self-starting on what is an incredibly competitive Tuesday night, and the series has proven itself up to the challenge,” said Fox Entertainment Group president David Madden in a statement. “Since the very beginning we knew this show would be that rare commodity — a genuinely original family comedy. The remarkable John Stamos, Josh Peck, Paget Brewster, and the entire cast have sparkling chemistry, and the show’s creative team has delivered fantastic scripts that keep these great characters moving. We know fans are going to love the surprises in store for the rest of the season.”
