Fox has just given an early second season pickup to animated comedy Bob's Burgers. This is the second scripted series to be renewed for next season, following the January pickup of another freshman comedy, Raising Hope. After a big premiere boosted by an NFL overrun, Bob's Burgers settled into a so-so ratings territory, posting a 2.2 in adults 18-49 for its most recent original. Fox's decision to renew Bob's Burgers is also interesting as the network has 2 new animated series on tap for next season, Allen Gregory and Napoleon Dynamite. But, with a 13-episode order, Bob's Burgers can split the season with the newcomers, whose combined order is for 13 half-hours.
