From a Comedy Central internal email:

It gives me great pleasure to announce that we are picking up a second season of The Sarah Silverman Program. We have ordered 14 episodes that will be split between this coming Fall and next Spring. The first two weeks of ratings have proven that in addition to the show's critical acclaim, it looks like ratings winner as well —and on a Thursday night to boot. We could not be happier to get behind this show in such a significant way.

Well, some of us (cough: Emily here!) think it's a good allocation of resources, though Gawker co-editor Doree and chopping-block-headed staffers at the network might disagree. Score one for girls who get away with being bitches by being cute! We are just talking about the Sarah Silverman thing here, obvs.
