The FOX network has ordered a second season of the critically acclaimed comedy “Raising Hope,” Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment for FOX Broadcasting Company, announced Monday.

“Raising Hope has emerged as a comedic standout: wickedly smart, hilarious and full of heart,” said Reilly.

“[Show creator] Greg Garcia and his great cast have established an appointment show on Tuesday nights this season, and we’re confident it’s just the beginning of great things to come.”

Garcia, who previously created the series “My Name Is Earl” and “Yes, Dear,” said, “I’m happy that the show is getting another year, but the fact that I’ve been trying to think of a funny quote for the last two hours and this is the best I could come up with makes me a little nervous about season 2.”

News Corporation is the parent company of the FOX Broadcasting Company and NewsCore.
