I usually dont watch new shows until I know they're coming back, been burnt on too many shows: Invasion, Threshold, Jericho etc etc.

Not shocked at all The CW's Sunday lineup was a disaster. Honestly, they would have been better off saving the $$$$ and continue to air repeats of their programs from the week.

Update folks!!
Life got picked up for a full season!!
http://reporter.blogs.com/live_feed/
NBC has given a full season order to detective drama "Life."
Sources say the network has ordered the back nine episodes from Universal Media Studios.
The pickup comes despite a modest performance from "Life" this week in the show's new Wednesday night slot -- where it earned a 2.0 rating among adults 18-49 and ranked fourth place in the 9 p.m. hour. "Life" did manage to outperform its recent Friday night average, however, and picks up plenty of viewers from time-shifted DVR viewing.
The full season order is the latest twist in the police drama's odd network narrative: "Life" launched during the fall of last year ... was shut down from the writers strike ... returned this fall to get a "Heroes" welcome on Monday nights at 10 p.m. airing for two weeks after the action-drama series in what's considered NBC's strongest slot ... then NBC shifted to show to Fridays at 10 p.m., a viewership dead zone where the show's ratings crashed ... then swapped "Life" with the underperforming "Lipstick Jungle," where it is now the tentpole 9 p.m. drama in a new Wednesday crime block.

Awesome news. Hopefully they'll keep it planted on Wednesdays instead of on Fridays.

Superb!!! Love it, I think the economy will help keep the show afloat, and hopefully it will pick up more viewers.

She sure has grew up since Step By Step.

The only one I care about is Terminator and if that's true then I'm definitely happy. Seems like every week there was talk in the Terminator thread about it being cancelled and people seemed so sure that it wouldn't make it. I was always hoping they were wrong and it looks like they were.

This only means these shows are picked up for a full 22 episode season for the 2008-09 season. As with every TV season, the following season is decided during May at the up fronts. Shows are renewed year to year.

Oh...thanks for the clarification. At least I'll get to see the rest of the season, but I suppose I won't get my hopes up for season 3 then.
