RENEWAL ALERT: Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Last Man on Earth

FOX renewed two of its many bubble comedies today, handing out a fourth season to Brooklyn Nine-Nine and a third season to The Last Man on Earth. Both shows were part of the Sunday lineup in the fall before being sent elsewhere for Bordertown and Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life. Brooklyn was moved to Tuesdays at 9pm where it has struggled in a weak comedy lineup. It also seems to have lost some of its early critical buzz. However, it proved its worth after how weak Cooper was in its place on Sundays. Speaking of showing its worth, The Last Man on Earth was brought back to Sundays at 9:30pm sooner than planned thanks to Bordertown tanking. Both these shows have small ratings but FOX found out that it could be a whole lot worse.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Last Man on Earth join Bob's Burgers, Bones, Empire, Gotham, Scream Queens, and The Simpsons on the renewal list for next year. New Girl is sure to join while Grandfathered stands a better chance than The Grinder. Cooper Barrett and Bordertown are as good as done.
