9JKL Gives Thanks

(For more episodes)

It’s that time of year for Thanksgiving specials and apparently, 9JKL’s Thanksgiving special paid off because as of Friday, according to Deadline, CBS ordered three more episodes.

It’s like going back for the mashed potatoes but not the whole meal… yet. But still, those potatoes are amazing and that’s good news for 9JKL whose ratings, even with the time change, have remained steady. People have found their comfort food on Monday night.

Their “Make Thanksgiving Great Again” episode reminded all of us of the family dynamics of the holiday. Mark’s character Josh is finally back for his first Thanksgiving home in a while. He cancels his parent’s reservations at a local restaurant and his sister-in-law agrees to cook the turkey in doing so going back to tradition but throwing a new tradition out the door. This, of course, leads to more comedic moments in the series that apparently the top brass could relate to as they gave it more time to roast.

Next week will be following the holiday season and has the potential to adjust viewership. Or not, 9JKL is one of those shows whose ratings have become pretty predictable in the last month landing at a 4.4 / 0.8.
