Courteney Cox and the “Cougar Town” crew received a nice little New Year’s gift from ABC Wednesday (Jan. 6).
The network announced that it is ordering two additional episodes of the freshman comedy, bringing its total order to 24.

“Cougar Town” is considered a fall 2009 success story, having premiered to almost 11 and a half million viewers in September and holding steady at about 7 million a week as of late.

The series returns from holiday hiatus this week with guest star Lisa Kudrow.
