Full Season Pickups Abound
It’s that time of the season when networks start deciding what shows will stay and what will go in their schedules. This season is a bit unique due to the strike. In addition to all of the new shows awaiting their fate, there are also several sophomore series with unsure futures.
While some shows, like Chuck and 90210, got early pickups, some shows have had to wait to find out if they will receive full season orders. In just the last week, full season pick-up announcements have been plentiful. Here are the shows that have received full season orders from the networks so far:
CBS
- The Mentalist
NBC
- Chuck
- Knight Rider
ABC
- Private Practice
FOX
- Fringe
- Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles
CW
- 90210
We’ll keep you posted as other announcements are made.

Any word about a pickup for Mad Men? I read they were still negotiating as of a few weeks ago but I haven’t seen much sense.

Hi Adam,
I just read this in yesterday’s “Ask Ausiello” on EW.com:
Question: I love Mad Men but I keep hearing rumors that it’s not coming back for a third season. Is this true? — Susan
Ausiello: It’s hogwash. It’ll be back. And it’ll be on AMC. And all the series regulars will return. End of story.
Looks like it will be back…I’m pretty sure AMC isn’t going to let them get away.
