"2 Broke Girls" picked up for a full season
(CBS) "2 Broke Girls" isn't going bankrupt anytime soon.
CBS announced Wednesday that it has ordered a full-season pickup for the freshman sitcom.
The series, co-created by Michael Patrick King ("Sex and the City") and Whitney Cummings, stars Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs as two waitresses - one always broke, the other a rich girl with a frozen trust fund - who work at the same Brooklyn diner and hope to open a cupcake business.
"2 Broke Girls" debuted on Sept. 19 with 19.4 million viewers, and settled to 11.6 million the following week, where it has remained steady, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The news means Cummings has two things to celebrate this week - her other sitcom, "Whitney," also got a full-season order from NBC.
Other freshman shows that have gotten full season orders are Fox's "New Girl" and NBC's "Up All Night."
