ABC today topped up the sophomore run of Bless This Mess with six additional episodes, adding to its initial order of 13. The good news comes five episodes into the season and gives the show a new total of 19.

The half-hour series had a solid debut outing earlier this year with a short six-episode stint in the spring. The network moved it to the regular fall lineup for Season 2, where it has been drawing decent ratings on Tuesday nights in the 8:30pm time slot following The Conners.

Bless This Mess stars Lake Bell and Dax Shepard as New Yorkers Rio and Mike, newlyweds who have left the big city behind and moved to rural Nebraska. After saying good-bye to family, friends, and their jobs, they soon realize that living a simpler life takes more work than they originally thought. The couple must now adapt to their new surroundings while dealing with unexpected challenges in their new life as farmers.
