Fox Bullish on Glee

Even though Glee’s ratings fell 11 percent from week one to week two (against weak competition on other networks, mind you), the Fox network seems to have series creator Ryan Murphy’s back: The show just received a green light from the network to produce another nine episodes this season, bringing the season-one total up to 22 episode (the show had originally been given only a thirteen-episode commitment). This ought to give the cast plenty of time to practice an a cappella version of “Empire State of Mind.” [Ausiello Files/EW]
