If you’re into either Ben and Kate or The Mindy Project, then Fox has some good news for you. The network’s giving both new comedy series full season pick ups, ordering six new additional episodes of Ben and Kate and nine more episodes of The Mindy Project.
 
Fox Broadcasting Company Chairman of Entertainment Kevin Reilly announced the first season pick up news, stating:
 

Ben and Kate and The Mindy Project have everything we want to stand for in comedy: smart writing, hugely appealing casts and comedy that feels contemporary and real – which is why we’re confident they will continue to build on what is already an appointment comedy night for young, influential audiences on Tuesdays.”

Coming Up on Ben and Kate and The Mindy Project:
 
The October 9, 2012 episode titled “The Fox Hunt:” Ben (Nat Faxon) and Kate (Dakota Johnson) discover an unopened envelope from 15 years ago that contains the yearly scavenger hunt their dad used to organize for them when they were kids. The find prompts them to complete the unfinished hunt, with BJ (Lucy Punch), Tommy (Echo Kellum) and Maddie’s (Maggie Elizabeth Jones) help, but raises old issues of sibling rivalry. Meanwhile, the scavenger hunt takes an unexpected detour when BJ enlists Kate to help get her belongings back from an old fling.
 
October 9, 2012 episode titled “In the Club:” Shauna (Amanda Setton) takes the office to the hottest nightclub in town, where Mindy (Mindy Kaling) meets an unlikely suitor (guest star Tommy Dewey) who works as a lawyer for the New York Knicks. Meanwhile, Danny (Chris Messina) hits the dance floor, Jeremy (Ed Weeks) hits on a bride-to-be, and Morgan (guest star Ike Barinholtz) unexpectedly makes some extra cash as the club’s bathroom attendant.
