ABC Giveth and ABC Taketh Away

ABC gave full season pickups to "No Ordinary Family" and "Better With You." Both of these freshmen shows are the networks best performers out of all its new shows. This isn't saying much, as both have been getting around a 2.3 adult 18-49 rating.

The network also ordered four more episodes of "Brothers & Sisters," bringing its total episode count to 22. Five additional episodes were also ordered for "Detroit 1-8-7," bringing its total to 18 episodes.

Finally, ABC announced today, that "The Whole Truth" had been cancelled. This comes as no surprise due to its extremely poor ratings.

NBC Hands out more Full Season Orders

"Chuck" and "Chase" have both been given full season orders. "Chuck" will now have 24 episodes this season and "Chase" will have 22.

NBC also ordered four additional scripts for "Undercovers."

This is surprising for both "Chase" and "Undercovers" due to both their latest 18-49 ratings being below 1.7.

NBC Hands out Full Seasons to...

"The Event," "Outsourced" and "Law & Order: Los Angeles" were each given a full season pick-up today by NBC.

These series join Fox's "Raising Hope" as the only new series to receive full seasons.

No word yet on NBC's other new series "Undercovers" and "Chase," but not being mentioned today doesn't bode well for either show.
