CBS Wants More ‘Rules’ and ‘Christine’

Yesterday brought good news for the many fans of the CBS relationship sitcom Rules of Engagement and devotees of the Julia Louis-Dreyfus sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine.

Both series were notably absent from the network’s initial announcements pending the end of the writers strike indicating which shows would get the go ahead to resume production. Variety reports, however, that CBS has now asked the relevant production companies to begin shooting additional episodes to air this spring.

It’s not currently known exactly how many more episodes of Rules we will see, but at least two more installments of Christine will get added to the eight already in the can (two of which have aired).
