What’s better than a back order?  An extra back order.  NBC has increased its order for UP ALL NIGHT by 2 additional episodes, making for a total of 24 in the season.  Probably this indicates little more than a desire to have new episodes of Up available in its new Thursday 9:30PM timeslot in every week when The Office will air one, so a new Office never has to be coupled with a repeat Up.  Still, it’s a nice boost for a show that, so far, has only mildly repaid the network’s faith.
