FOX has also picked up comedy series NEW GIRL, THE MINDY PROJECT and RAISING HOPE for the 2013-14 season, it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, Chairman of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. NEW GIRL was picked up for a third season, THE MINDY PROJECT received a second season order and RAISING HOPE was renewed for a fourth season.

“We love working with these talented producers and casts who, week after week, create some of the funniest work on television,” said Reilly. “These shows are creatively vibrant, they have established a loyal and passionate audience and they will continue to define and grow the FOX comedy brand next season and beyond.”

The hour-long season finale of back-to-back RAISING HOPE episodes, “Burt-Mitzvah/Mom’s Day”, airs on a special night and time, Thursday, March 28 (9:00-9:30/9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) after AMERICAN IDOL (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed). In “Burt-Mitzvah,” Burt’s (Garret Dillahunt) parents (guest stars Shirley Jones and Lee Majors) come to town with the surprising news that their son actually is Jewish. So Burt takes a musical crash course in his newfound heritage, to prepare for the Bar Mitzvah he never had. Then, in “Mom’s Day,” it’s a Mother’s Day to remember as Burt and Barney (Gregg Binkley) take a road trip to Maw Maw’s (Cloris Leachman) childhood home and discover that her mother may still be alive. Needless to say, multiple generations of crazy gather under one roof.

Created by Emmy Award winner Greg Garcia, RAISING HOPE follows the Chance family as the unplanned addition to their family becomes a toddler. The show stars Lucas Neff, Emmy Award winner Martha Plimpton, Garret Dillahunt, Shannon Woodward, Emmy Award winner Cloris Leachman and Gregg Binkley. RAISING HOPE is produced by Amigos de Garcia Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television. “Like” RAISING HOPE on Facebook at www.facebook.com/RaisingHope.

Hey Guys! Sorry for the lack of updates here. We were missing tons of episode captures, especially since they started airing two episodes of Raising Hope on Tuesdays but I’ve finally caught up and added them all to our gallery. Be sure to check back later for episode stills and appearance photos!

Jaded cashier Sabrina (Shannon Woodward) wasn’t fazed that she didn’t get a fancy diamond engagement ring from her supermarket-clerk ­fiancé, Jimmy (Lucas Neff), in the season premiere of Raising Hope. But that will change in the January 15 episode of the Fox sitcom, when his mom Virginia (Martha Plimpton) talks up the sentimental value of her own bauble.

“Sabrina doesn’t focus on superficiality,” says Woodward, “but she starts to think ­maybe she’s missed out on something beautiful.” So Jimmy goes hunting for a ring she’ll love and he can afford. Then he gets back down on bended knee.

As for the upcoming nuptials, Woodward says they won’t be Raising Hope-ful: “Sabrina’s mother can’t attend the wedding, so she hires the film crew from her favorite TV show to document it. So Jimmy and Sabrina’s wedding is going to look an awful lot like Modern Family.”
