Fox announced today that the network is giving "The Mindy Project" a full-season order of nine additional episodes, which is good news to anyone who was as charmed by the potential of Kaling's sitcom, which co-stars Chris Messina, Ed Weeks and Stephen Tobolowsky, as we were.

Fox has also ordered six more episodes of "Ben and Kate," its vaguely "You Can Count On Me"-like Dana Fox-created comedy about a dreamer (Nat Faxon) who moves in with his very responsible younger sister (Dakota Johnson), a single mom, bringing it up to a full season as well.
"'Ben and Kate' and 'The Mindy Project' have everything we want to stand for in comedy: smart writing, hugely appealing casts and comedy that feels contemporary and real - which is why we're confident they will continue to build on what is already an appointment comedy night for young, influential audiences on Tuesdays," said Kevin Reilly, Fox's Chairman of Entertainment.
Tomorrow night's episode of "The Mindy Project," the series' third, finds the co-workers headed to a nightclub where Mindy (Kaling) meets a lawyer for the New York Knicks (Tommy Dewey),.

Iâve enjoyed seeing Mindy Kahlingâs the Mindy Project! Itâs fun, witty and different. I also love Ben and Kate, I feel like itâs relatable and funny. Both shows provide for plenty conversation for me and my DISH coworkers, so Iâm glad itâs being granted a whole season. This is why I record it every week on my Hopper, using the PrimeTime Anytime feature. I love how this feature allows me to record all prime time programming that comes on the four major networks without the need of individual timers.
