Fox Places Full-Season Orders for Mindy Project, Ben and Kate

Kevin Reilly sees potential in new Tuesday night comedies

Fox has given an unambiguous vote of confidence to its new Tuesday night comedies, placing back orders for Ben and Kate and The Mindy Project.

The network announced today that it rounded out a full-season order of Mindy, committing to nine additional half-hour installments. It also picked up six more episodes of Ben and Kate, which is produced by 20th Century Fox TV and Chernin Entertainment.

The orders demonstrate Fox’s willingness to be patient with both comedies, which function as bookends to its sophomore hit New Girl.
