In an unsurprising move, FOX has picked up Gotham for a full season. The show already had a 16 episode order, and it seemed like they were doing a half-season type approach. But they picked it up for the full 22 episodes. Gotham has delivered decent numbers and for FOX, it has been exceptional as almost everything else has tanked. Week one delivered a 3.2 demo followed by a 2.8 in week two and 2.5 last week. FOX has to hope it stabilizes soon, but every other show except for the Sunday shows is regularly in the 1s, so Gotham is a real shining star.
The status of the other FOX freshmen: Red Band Society, Mulaney, Gracepoint, and Utopia is shaky at best with all of them hovering around a 1.0 demo. Mulaney has a 16 episode order, Gracepoint is a limited 10 episode series, and Utopia has already been banished to Fridays. While it doesn't look good for Red Band, I wouldn't count it out yet because it's on FOX. It's been a very tough fall for them.
