NBC has tacked another hour on to the freshman season of drama Chicago Fire, bringing its order to 24 episodes. The network first ordered one extra episode last week, followed by another episode pickup yesterday. After a slow start, Chicago Fire has found its groove, enjoying a ratings surge in January when its three originals posted the series’ three biggest overall audiences to date and three of its four highest adult 18-49 ratings. The show has now topped its premiere 1.9 demo rating four times and its premiere viewership (6.6 million) six times, including with the Jan. 2 show which posted Live+Same Day series highs of a 2.4/7 in 18-49 and 8.5 million viewers overall. The order upgrades for Chicago Fire come amidst disappointing premiere ratings for NBC’s new midseason drama Do No Harm (0.9 in 18-49) and the second season of Smash (1.2). Chicago Fire is exec produced by Dick Wolf, Danielle Gelber, Michael Brandt, Derek Haas, Matt Olmstead and Peter Jankowski.

Yeesh this show is insulting. Why do they even bother with clothes at all? Wouldn’t the gallons of glistening sweat protect them from the flames?
This show maybe insulting firefighters, but you are as insulting. You can criticize the show all you want, but I think what you said is beyond criticize the show, you are sort of insulting the profession of firefighter. The firefighters are risking there lives to protect us, so I do think they deserve some respect
Some good news in the NBC lineup. Audiences don’t need special rules and special worlds to enjoy a show. And by the way why are networks so scared to show people being heroes in their own lives? This is a good show and will only get better. It’s so sad the medical franchise has been taken in to some weird world. ER was a great show and would be great today. That genre has been corrupted by people in power at networks who don’t understand medicine.
Wish NBC had been this kind to Prime Suspect. What a mistake Greenblatt made there.
I for one enjoyed the premiere of Do No Harm. I honestly enjoyed its premiere better than Chicago Fire’s one.
Chicago Fire is a can’t miss, edge of your seat show!!
Do No Harm is just a rip-off of MY OWN
WORST ENEMY starring Christian Slater.
I watched Chicago Fire for the first time tonight with my fiancee. I thought it was pretty solid especially with the L&O:SVU lead-in. NBC should take note here. No high concept stuff, no crazy Jekyll/Hyde, fairy-tale, alternate universe, trying-to-be-cable stuff. Just a solid network show about firemen. Great acting, familiar faces like Eamonn Walker and Jon Seda. I’ll be watching.
Somehow the concept of Do No Harm makes no sense. The pilot was well written but how do you sustain it? It’s like Pushing Daisies. They thought they were re-inventing the wheel. IT was a gorgeous pilot but “He can’t touch her? For 7 years? And they’re in love?”
Real people make interesting shows. Breaking Bad, Scandal, ER, Law and Order, we don’t need all the BS to enjoy a show.
Finally a procedural on NBC that’s must see TV!
That show was way too over produced.
My husband is a volunteer firefighter and my son wants to be one as well. This show has had me hooked since the premiere( hot guys are a huge plus!!). I am very happy that more episodes have been ordered…….
I loved both Do No Harm and Chicago Fire has been amazing all year! Hope they keep both. Sick of all of the reality shows out there we need good sitcoms and dramas!
I am a Joan Philo Casting Extra. Assigned as Chicago Police Patrol Officer. Working on this series with the Legendary Eammon Walker, is a fantastic experience!
YES! Order up another 100 episodes!!! I want this one to stick around for a long, long time! Now if only people could figure out how to get rid of the stupid honey boo boo crap – now THAT is was makes me say YECH!!! disgusting.
Chicago Fire is the #1 best new show this season…too much crap out there that doesn’t make a lot of sense…I am not a couch potato but on Wednesday nights when Chicago Fire comes on “I am that potato on the couch”…I take no phone calls & I don’t answer my door during 9:00pm to 10:00pm…This show is 100% totally awesome thru & thru…I hope Chicago Fire will be around even longer than House was…If I had my way, this show would never end, but I know someday it will & the actors/actresses will go one to other shows/movies…but for now, I hope Chicago Fire will be around for a long time…
I’m a Chinese student studying in UK. I don’t really know what the life of a firefighter really is like, but I do like this this show and I do believe this show is reflecting the real situation.
I wish they would have more females on the cast….and not as love interests to any of the cast members. Would love to see a strong, sexy, happily married with kids, strong, female firefighter. An Otis-like female. Strong, funny, sexy and like a sister to the crew. Can they please make this happen?
This show is great better then scandal I love this show and cant wait for season 2
This show is great better then scandal I love this show and cant wait for season 2 I have watched all of season 1 so far and love it
My fiance and I LOVE the show. We are hooked. The show leaves us hanging and wanting for more every week!
One of my favorite shows by far!!! It keeps me on my toes everytime!!
