Good news for Nine with a whopping 90 episode order for Charlie Sheen sitcom Anger Management by FX, the number required to reach syndication.
Chuck Saftler from FX Networks said the series met and exceeded network hurdles and works extremely well in its pre-10PM lineup.
“Charlie Sheen and the entire cast did an amazing job in the first ten episodes, which were produced in a very tight window. I have no doubt that the producers and cast will be able to pull off the Herculean task of producing 90 episodes over the next two years.”
Martin Sheen will also join the cast in a recurring role, playing Martin Goodson, Charlie’s father.
According to FX, Anger Management is the highest-rated new comedy series on US cable in 2012, averaging 4.53 million Total Viewers (cumulative) and 2.5 million Adults 18-49.

Winning much?
Don’t think it would be over 2 years, season 1 had 10 eps, so wouldn’t that mean 10 eps per year? would that be 90 more eps, making It 100? Meaning 9 more years? cause cable shows usually have short seasons anyway.
How the hell are they gonna roll out 90 episodes in two years with production costs and times?! We need less moronic television, not more.
Still better than the last few seasons of Two and a Half Men IMO
90 over two years? That has to be a mistake.
Sure he didn’t say “few years.”
This does make some sense. If you make a show like this, why not go in it for the end goal of syndication.
FX is known for larger orders in the past. A few years back during it’s 4th season they renewed the brilliant comedy, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” for 39 episodes over a few seasons. Which they did, and have now renewed the show for additional seasons past this.
Dreadful show with one of the worst laugh tracks in years.
It only says “produce” 90 episodes over two years. Could it possibly indicate they are producing episodes over two years, that could then air over, say, four years?
This is great news for ch9 as they now have ‘filler’ shows in abundance……..maybe the writing will improve….maybe?
This seems… optimistic.
Just imagine how many times Nine can replay the whole lot.
Not sure it’s good for nine when it’s only getting 600,000
Can only hope that FX live to regret this before Christmas 2012.
Aren’t Americans over Charlie Sheen yet?
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!
….no accounting for taste……
A 90 episode order for a non-syndication 5 day a week show is extremely rare indeed. I’m surprised it got such a high order but I figure the commercial thinking behind it must work out.
90! wow thats a lot, it’s double the usual for 2 seasons.
Wow that’s a huge undertaking for two years. It normally taked 5 seasons to get to 100 episodes which means syndication. That’s why some terrible shows get renewed just for syndication rights. This show is not very good at all, so they mustn’t have anything else to work with n future developments.
