Raising Hope scores a full season, Leachman secret weapon

By April MacIntyre Oct 7, 2010, 1:46 GMT

"Raising Hope" is a clever network comedy with a heart, and the secret weapon of Cloris Leachman who steals the show.

FOX whacked "Lone Star" after two episodes, but has given the leap of faith to "Raising Hope" which received a full season order.

The Greg Garcia comedy is the first newbie to get the network full season vote of confidence.

"Raising Hope" is a clever network comedy with a heart, and the secret weapon of Cloris Leachman who steals the show.

Martha Plimpton too, who plays mom to a teenage boy raising his child (Hope) with the help of his family, a low-rent loveable bunch of kooks.

FOX's other comedy "Running Wilde" is not feeling the love in ratings, or with critics.

Raising Hope airs Tuesday at 9pm on FOX.
