It’s a fine, bully day for unwieldy initialisms, as Adult Swim has granted a second season pickup to NTSF:SD:SUV—or National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sport Utility Vehicle, if you prefer to be all longwinded about it. Paul Scheer’s absurdist spin on the standard cop procedural has actually grown its audience over the past year, seeing a 15-percent gain in viewers between the ages of 18 and 49 from the time of its premiere to tonight’s season finale, which just goes to show that viewers between the ages of 18 to 49 love shows about killing terrorists and dolphin serial killers and then telling their friends about it. Scheer issued a statement on the renewal saying, “I'm very excited to continue to punch, shoot, stab, and run people over with lawnmowers and get paid for it." He’ll commence doing that again (for television) in early 2012, with the new episodes expected to air later in the year.
