Saturday Night Live alumni Andy Samberg's new Fox cop comdedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine, has been given the order for a full season. The network has so much faith in the new ensemble series, that they are going to air it during the highly sought after post-Super Bowl time slot.
Starter series are normally given a shorter first season, consisting of 13 episodes. If a show does well then the networks can opt to pick up the remaining episodes, known as the "back nine," for a total of 22 episodes. Fox' Brooklyn Nine-Nine is getting the back nine. USA Today is reporting that Fox chairman Kevin Reilly, made the announcement:
"It's exciting to see that both critics and fans love Brooklyn Nine-Nine as much as we do."

"With Andy and Andre out in front of this incredible ensemble, it feels like this show is going to be around for a long time."
