Word from TVweek.com today, is that ABC has renewed eleven of shows that have, until now, been missing orders for a second season. The shows, including freshmen series "Brothers and Sisters" and "Ugly Betty" will return in the fall for a fresh season. Which means everyone keeps their jobs.
Two shows that more than likely had cast and crew wondering about their futures (in tv lingo -- it's called "on the bubble") were "Boston Legal" and "Men in Trees." Certainly, everyone must be breathing a sigh of relief on the set.
The pick-ups also included "Lost," "Desperate Housewives," "Dancing With the Stars," "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "Grey's Anatomy" and "The Bachelor."
ABC was quick to point out that though several shows did not make the list ("Knights of Prosperity" and "In Case of Emergency") -- viewers should not mistake them for entirely missing. Sophomore drama "What About Brian," which has averaged a 2.6 rating this season, was also left off the list.
Bravo’s highly anticipated new competition reality series Step It Up and Dance premiers Thursday,...

Here's an idea ABC:
get rid of Super Nanny, America's Funniest Home Videos & Wife Swap - and replace them with The Knights of Prosperity & What About Brian. These shows deliver while those other 3 are just pure crap.

LOSING THESE 2 SHOWS WILL BE A BIG MISTAKE BECAUSE OCTOBER ROAD WILL NOT LAST PAST THE FIRST TWO MONTHS!!!GET WITH IT AND GET RID OF SOME OF THESE SUCKY REALITY SHOWS.

After seeing tonight's return of Six Degrees, I hope ABC will consider it for next fall's lineup. It was really strong tonight. In fact, it was the show I was hoping it would be last fall when it floundered.

Six Degrees didn't do very well at all so I suspact it won't be back. October Road has only aired two episodes but is getting better numbers than Men in Trees in the post-Grey's timslot. It will be interesting to see if they pick it up...

actually, MIT was getting pretty good ratings. i think ABC got a little to big for themselves and has really isolated MIT fans in order to try out or "ram" new programs down our throats. they are using grey's to get the lead in for all the new shows they want to get going. so far it hasn't worked. ocotber road completely bombed, so after 4 of the 6 episodes that were shot are aried, they are trying out yet another failure...notes from the underbelly. a comedy. ugh. ABC--you're just not good at this! so MIT was renewed for a second season, but if they keep using that 10pm slot to try things out, they are going to alienate and anger the loyal fans of MIT that they already have. see what happens when you get greedy?

To the Decision Makers at ABC: Please bring Six Degrees back and please do a better job of marketing the show, so you have the ratings you want. It is the BEST show ABC has ever aired - over Lost, Alias et al. We, the fans, are very, very, very sorry to see ABC nix 'Six Degrees' after putting it on a hiatus and airing only 2 shows. We WANT it back for many seasons.

do not make the same mistakes the wb,up[n made by killing off successfull television shows in one season, that its what killed the upn, it's killing my network tv & it seems as if the other networks are repeating the same pattern as the younger ones, although i do admit 7th heaven was getting old, what wit hthe cast changes, the kids getting old, it seems as if the show jumped the shark 4 times since it's been on!

"October Road!!!!" I LOVE that show!! I know it's just beginning (like 3 or 4 episodes into the series) but ABC is already sticking something else into its timeslot after "Grey's" for 2 weeks....way to go on consistency there ABC and building a fanbase!

ABC had a good year by my lights. Among the new ABC series I enjoy are: Men in Trees, Ugly Betty and October Road. I'd miss What About Brian, but I'm to the point of being pleasantly surprised when a show I like survives. By that standard, a second season for Anne Heche's Men in Trees is a tasty and unexpected personal treat. Thanks, ABC!

I love October Road so much! It's a twisted version of Dawson's Creek for us twenty-somethings that watched Dawson's religiously. I hope that they keep this show going and let it grow a greater fan base. I hope that the season finale next week is not the finale of this amazing show! Listen to me ABC, please!

Please keep October Road! It has potential, at least give it a chance for God's sake. The storyline has depth, unlike shows like Grey's Anatomy and Dancing with the Stars. I mean yeah, Grey's is pretty popular with the viewers but it's the same thing over and over, friends sleeping with each other, the never ending relationship status with Mcdreamy and Meredith. Come on, we all know that in the end they will stay together. The producers just make them breakup to give the viewers some sort of drama. Like they did last season. How much do you wanna bet that they breakup at the end of this season, and get back together next season? Ha, happens every time.
Now let's keep the shows that have real story lines, like OCTOBER ROAD.

Oh my gosh...six degrees is my favorite! WHat the heck? They can't take it off! It is so well written and entertaining. Get rid of funniest home videos! And that super nanny bull. Lost is great too! But please don't take my six degrees away. It is so worth keeping on. I know so many people who were so disappoined to hear of its hiatis and its cancelation. I don't think it was givin a fare chance. I love grey's anatomy too. You guys at ABC are doing an awesome job but seriously, how many more years of the funniest home videos can you do? No one watches it. Either that, or get another host who is actually funny.

I understand that the networks are in this to make money. However, they need to give these shows (especially those like October Road and Six Degrees) more of a chance. In the case of Six Degrees, it was highly refreshing to watch something truly unique--not a crime or hospital drama, but an interesting look at human relationships without the pretense of a common workplace or other contrivance. However, I usually had to watch online because ABC kept moving the show around, and only showed five episodes before the new dread of television viewers--hiatus. Drat the "sweeps"--yes, it does produce some better episodes, but it also leaves viewers with weeks of nothing but mindless reality television and bad game shows. Keep the beautifully produced shows like October Road (awesome music, I really want them to release a cd, or at least put music credits at the end) and Six Degrees, and produce more shows that can be enjoyed by the whole family. CBS used to do a good job of this with Touched By An Angel, Dr Quinn, and others but now they are solely crime dramas and bad sitcoms. Bring back decent television, and take a cue from fox...finish up cancelled shows online. if networks don't stop screwing us over, I'll have to switch solely to cable--with great shows like The Tudors, 4400, Monk, etc, do I even need network TV?

Please don't cancel What About Brian. I absolutley love that show. It's such a down to earth show. It's nice to be able to watch a show that deals with reality. Most shows nowadays are just so unbelievable. At least Brian is believable. C'mon ABC do the right thing and give WAB one more chance. Not everyone is into Dancing with the stars, and that's still around. KEEP WHAT ABOUT BRIAN!!!!!!! (please)

I'm so disappointed that ABC chose to cancel What About Brian. That was the only show I watched on Monday nights. I loved it and want to find out wht happens next with all the characters. The season finale was not an ending, but left so many unanswered questions, to me. I fell in love with the characters and want to see them again! Please bring back WHAT ABOUT BRIAN!!! I know I'm not the only one that will miss it...Lots of people I know fell in love with the show too. I hope ABC changes its mind and realizes it is making a big mistake!!!

OMG I'm so sick of this CRAP. I'm a HUGE TV junkie (the worst kind). Why is it that every show I get into - poof it's gone. I LOVE WHAT ABOUT BRIAN, MEN IN TREES, AND OCTOBER ROAD. I loved the show VANISHED and the damn TV Big-Wigs left me hanging on that one. How can they do this to people - it's so UNFAIR. I've about had it with TV PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!
