FOX really likes The Mindy Project. Though the Adults 18-49 ratings for the two most recent episodes were a mediocre 1.9, Deadline reports that the network has ordered two more episodes of the show, which already received a full season pick-up. That means there will be a total of 24 episodes this season. The show did not air this week because of the debate, and will be pre-empted both next Tuesday for a special edition of The X Factor and on November 6 for election night coverage, so these additional episodes should allow the show to air through the end of the season with very few repeats.
Yeah, for The Mindy Project.
FOX is an absolute mess today.
great news
Is this an apology from FOX for ruining the schedule, and ruining this show’s chances of becoming a hit?
I truly adore this show, seriously but FOX is just messing EVERY show up.
With them sacrificing Glee on Thursday, and The whole X Factor Miss-hap, They can’t afford to ruin yet another show!
This means even more episodes without an original New Girl episode of as a lead- in. Maybe they will air a few episodes after American Idol.
Deadline reporting that ABC is ordering two additional scripts to 666 and Last Resort so they may end up doing exactly what they did with Pan Am maybe?

Interesting. The way it’s trending, if it settles in around 1.7 will Fox regret this? Oh, who are we kidding, Fox is a trainwreck right now…..They’ll take anything over the CW that’s scripted….
What is up with FOX? Wednesday’s schedule mishap, continuing to air a show that may kill their Mondays, and now adding more episodes to a struggling show that already has a full seasons order–I just don’t understand. Is that the point: to keep us guessing?
In a sort of related note, I think NBC should do this with The Office as well. It’s just so annoying that it’s going to end at 198.
Write it down, 2012, the year FOX went insane.
Looks like Fox might be THIRD this year! lol
Why?
Fox really is in a bad place!
Yeah Fox has definitely lost their minds. What’s next, more scripts from the Mob Doctor??
at this point, the mob doctor renewal would not shock me. there is something very wrong here, i dont understand it. i think people who said fox’s goal is just to become unpredictable might be on to something
What’s wrong with the Mindy Project? I like it, better then Mob Doctor.
I actually like it…. so it’s a win for me.
@ Glue.
i dont think that that one mess up is going to be the deciding factor of this becoming a hit.
@ polar bear
yes i know. with law and order criminal intent they renewed it for an eight episode season bringing it to 195. they should have done 13 bringing it to 200. i know they werent sure it would be the last season, but they had to know it was likely.
Wow. What an odd decision. O.o Maybe they have hopes this show could become huge in its second season and will air some episodes after “The X-Factor”/”American Idol” to garner more interest. Does anyone know how many episodes “New Girl” will have this season?
Mindy Project will get a second season and Ben & Kate will be cancelled in May. See I just saved everyone 7 months of wondering.
Really? Why isn’t this show on the chopping block. It literally is the most unfunny show I’ve seen in many years. Fox must be really desperate to hang on to something this year. I gotta believe there is something in the wings out there that could be better than this, anything, just anything
