Update 2: Parks & Recreation is now for a full season order of 22 episodes. Whitney is now renewed too!
Update: NBC has renewed Up All Night for a second season.
NBC has renewed Parks & Recreation and The Office. Parks & Recreation for a fifth season and The Office for a 9th season. The order for Parks & Recreation as widely rumored (and as with Community, surprising to me due to the proximity to enough episodes for syndication) was for only 13 episodes turns out to be 22 episodes after all.
Still hearing rumblings that Whitney is getting renewed too, but not official yet. Now official.
None of these renewals is shocker despite the TV media scratching their heads over Whitney. Bill had Whitney more likely to be renewed than canceled and I had Whitney as a toss up.
NBC has also picked up comedy Next Caller starring Dane Cook for six episodes, likely to appear mid-season.
I hear NBC has given one last-minute comedy series order to the Dane Cook starrer Next Caller. There had been talk that NBC liked the project, starring the comedian as a host of a satellite radio show, but may keep it for redevelopment. It is now getting a straight order, likely for midseason.

@Bunny Would be embarrassing if they were on the same network but ABC barely released the renewals of shows they were confident in.
Nice Whitney.
@Max,
NBC wouldn’t be that stupid, would they?
They did just pick up a Dane Cook comedy….
moving on to ABC (but still waiting to hear about Harry’s Law!)

Thank God Up All Night got renewed!!!
Whitney. I’m shocked.
Thank you, NBC.
Now, I just need:
Rules of Engagement
Happy Endings
Don’t Trust the B
Celebrity Apprentice (which is a lock)
Awake, Missing, The River (but I know that they will be canceled)
Nice for Parks & Rec. Glad to see it isn’t getting cancelled like SpoilerTV reported yesterday. I sorta hate that site… As for The Office, I hope they have something planned to spice it up a bit. This season hasn’t been too enjoyable. And Whitney… ugh
Oh, and Last Man Standing
P&R RENEWAL!! ok, y’all, treat yo’self!
OK< check off Happy Endings
See this is why I don’t feel sorry for NBC. They keep renewing low rated shows.
Woooohooooooo go Whitney!
LMAO at this tweet from @maskscheduler:
Breaking: NBC in talks to revive HELLCATS and has picked up my garbage while I’m out of town.
Rob, to be fair, if they cancelled all of their low rated shows, they wouldn’t have anything on the air.
If only they give a full season to community that would make the most sense for syndication… but at least they didnt say final season
I’m so happy for the Parks renewal and that it will get the full 22 episodes. It is such a great show. I hope more people start to watch it.
Can someone PLEASE tell me how the hell “Whitney” gets a full 22 episode order and Harry`s Law {highest rated show on NBC} MIGHT BE CANCELLED…Whitney didn`t even touch 3 million viewers…c`mon…Who is she blowing????????
@ bunny…happy endings is on abc, it wouldn’t be listed here
and it has been renewed…
