CBS orders more episodes of Elfman comedy

The network has ordered five more episodes of the Jenna Elfman half-hour, insiders confirmed Tuesday. That’s short of a full-season pickup but still a modest vote of confidence in the series. Critics were mixed in their reviews of “AOP,” but viewership has been steady. It’s been retaining between 80-90 percent of its “How I Met Your Mother” lead-in. Last night, it delivered its best ratings since its premiere (though a CBS affiliate carried Monday Night Football, potentially skewing the preliminary fast nationals).
