Okay, Raising the Bar has done more than "just fine." Its premiere episode drew 7.7 million viewers (a record for ad-supported cable, says The Hollywood Reporter) and is averaging a plump 5.5 million per episode after just three shows. So what's a network to do? Renew it, of course. TNT handed out new 15-episode season orders to both Raising the Bar and Saving Grace earlier this week, giving the network three original programs to build its empire on. As if Ted Turner needs more. Raising the Bar stars a funny-haired Mark-Paul Gosselaar (I won't mention he was Zack in Saved by the Bell...ooops!) as a public defender and Melissa Sagemiller (drool...) as the prosecuting attorney who is obviously having an affair with Gosselaar's character. Holly Hunter headlines Saving Grace as Grace Hanadarko, a troubled Oklahoma City cop who gets some life lessons from an angel.
