Amy Poehler's Parks and Recreation series has managed to stay on NBC for seven seasons. How will her brother's show, Welcome to Sweden, do in the ratings? Will it have a long run or will it be cancelled like so many other shows? We'll have to wait and see.

NBC has picked up the second season of their low-rated summer sitcom, Welcome to Sweden. There will be 10 episodes.
On Welcome to Sweden, a successful New Yorker (Greg Poehler) agrees to follow his girlfriend (Josephine Bornebusch) as she returns to her hometown of Stockholm. Others in the cast are Lena Olin, Claes Månsson, Christopher Wagelin, Per Svensson, Patrick Duffy, and Illeana Douglas.
The series has garnered low ratings, even for a summer series. The latest episode drew a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.52 million total viewers.
However, the peacock network merely licenses the show so it doesn't cost NBC very much when compared to producing their original programming. In April, it was renewed for a second season in Sweden so it would seem like a given that NBC would pick up season two here but that hasn't...
