NBC handed out a full-season pickup to freshman comedy “Kath & Kim” late Friday.
The back-nine order for the UMS/Reveille-produced comedy, an U.S. version of the hit Australian half-hour, follows a Nielsen uptick Thursday night when “Kath” drew 5.5 million viewers, 2.3 ratings in 18-49.
While it has slipped following its strong premiere, “Kath & Kim” has consistently retained all of its “My Name Is Earl” lead-in among adults 18-49. In its four airings to date, “Kath” has averaged 2.6/ 6 in 18-49 and 6.0 million viewers overall.
“‘Kath & Kim’ is a show we love and believe in,” NBC’s exec vp Teri Weinberg said. “We have incredible confidence in the creative auspices of this show and we believe it’s a perfect fit with our Thursday-night comedies.”
“Kath” stars Molly Shannon and Selma Blair as an iconoclastic mother-daughter duo.
Michelle Nader, who adapted the Australian format, is exec producing with the original series creators and stars Gina Riley and Jane Turner along with Rick McKenna and Howard T. Owens.

PopCardz will be sold in stores in five-card packs beginning in November. Proceeds will given to the celebrities’ charities. Each card will have a unique 10-digit access code printed on it that will provide additional online content at PopCardz.com.
The back of the cards list celebrities’ birth dates, hometowns and mottos as well as a favorite charity, movie, song, book, place, sport, food — and a secret. “Kath & Kim” actress Selma Blair revealed, for instance, that she wore an eye patch for a year when she was 7 because she was embarrassed about her amblyopia — lazy eye syndrome.
“Tabloids are so prevalent,” said Blair. “I think this is way for kids — or whoever is collecting them — to find something out about their favorite celebrities, and find out really positive things about them.”
Blair, who accumulated “Wacky Packages” and “Superman” trading cards growing up, was one of the first celebrities to agree to be immortalized in the collection. The “Hellboy” and “Cruel Intentions” actress said she was excited the cards would benefit and prominently feature celebrities’ causes.
“It’s a benevolent, cool thing,” said Blair.
Her only concern? How her card will fare among traders once it’s released.
“I’m sure everyone will be like, ‘I’ll give you 20 Selma Blairs for 1 Scarlett Johansson,’” Blair joked.
