Get a load of that Anthony Anderson -- finally has a hit show.

The early numbers for his new Fox drama series 'K-Ville' were stellar, drawing 9 million viewers during its Sept. 17 premiere.

According to early Nielsen data, the post Hurricane Katrina New Orleans based cop drama won the night's coveted 18-49 year old demographic, beating out its competition on all three major networks -- including NBC's 'The Singing Bee.'

'K-Ville' even outperformed the wildly popular third season premiere of 'Prison Break,' which was its lead in. The Wentworth Miller-fronted drama drew an estimated 7.4 million viewers -- down nearly two million viewers from the opener last year.

Kudos to the Los Angeles-born funnyman who previously headlined the short-lived WB comedy 'All About the Andersons' and starred in films such as 'Barbershop 2' and 'Two Can Play that Game.'
