LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - NBC has ordered an additional nine episodes of its
new Tuesday night comedy "Hidden Hills," giving the series a full-season order.

The suburban sitcom has averaged a 5.2 rating, 13 share among adults 18 to 49 and
11.4 million viewers overall, winning its time period against all entertainment
competition in four out of five telecasts. "Hidden Hills" has also retained 85 percent
of its 18 to 49 lead-in from "Frasier." Last year, "Scrubs" averaged 87 percent
retention in the same time period.

"'Hidden Hills' represents the smart and edgy kind of humor that has come to
establish NBC as America's favorite network," says Jeff Zucker, president of NBC
Entertainment. "We believe this fun look at life in the suburbs is well-positioned to be
a strong hit comedy."

The comedy follows the adventures of two suburban couples adjusting to their new
lives within well-manicured and subdivided lots. Justin Louis ("Trinity"), Paula
Marshall ("Snoops") Dondré T. Whitfield ("All My Children"), Tamara Taylor ("Party
of Five") and Kristin Bauer ("That's Life") star.

"Hidden Hills" airs Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. on NBC.
