On the heels of issuing a full season pickup to new comedy “The Grinder,” FOX made the same decision regarding its lead-in.
“Grandfathered,” which stars John Stamos and Josh Peck, has earned its “back nine” order.
The addition of those nine episodes results in a complete, 22-episode first season.
“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’s David Madden. “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.”
FOX has thus far aired four episodes of “Grandfathered” and “The Grinder.” Off this week to accommodate the network’s World Series coverage, they return with originals on November 3.
