Sustained! The Grinder Scores a Full Season on Fox

It looks like the Grinder isn't quite ready to rest his case. Fox ordered a full season of the freshman comedy on Tuesday.

The Grinder stars Rob Lowe as Dean Sanderson, an actor famous for his role as a lawyer on TV, who now feels qualified to work in his family's law firm, much to the chagrin of his brother Stewart (Fred Savage), an actual practicing attorney.

" The Grinder is the perfect combination of razor-sharp wit and relatable family dynamics -- two hallmarks of successful comedies," said David Madden, president of entertainment at Fox, in a statement.

Over the last four weeks, The Grinder has averaged a 1.5 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic and 4.5 million viewers overall. The series is only the second comedy to receive a full season thus far, after ABC's Dr. Ken.

The Grinder is currently on a brief hiatus during Fox's coverage of the World Series. It will return on Tuesday at 9:30/8:30c, unless a sixth game is required.
