Grey's Anatomy, Housewives, Lost and more return to ABC in fall - Today's News: Our Take

Donald Sutherland by Vivian Zink/ABC

ABC on Monday announced pickups for nine of its shows. The list includes such usual suspects as Grey's Anatomy, Lost, Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters and Ugly Betty, and also offers a few pleasant if somewhat taken-for-granted freshman surprises. Among the first-year shows granted fall returns are Dirty Sexy Money, ~~Justice League of Alternative Medicine~~ Private Practice, Pushing Daisies and Samantha Who?

This is shaping up to be a good week, no?

Well, maybe not for the folks at Women's Murder Club. Check out Ausiello's chart at TVGuide.com/ShowStatus for the latest on that ABC newbie.

They renewed Dirty Sexy Money? Really? Why?

Great news, especially for Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money. Gotta admit I'm a bit surprised about Private Practice. I hope WMC survives.

Yay! PD, DSM, Samantha! But, where's Boston Legal? I hope this doesn't mean ABC is gonna get rid of it

polar: Because it is a fun guilty pleasure. Now go watch those last few remaining episodes of "October Road" while you can and let us fans of good TV enjoy the moment.

Hurray for *Pushing Daisies* and Dirty Sexy Money!!! Best news in a long..........since yesterday!!! (Battlestar Galactica!!)

Was there ever really any doubt that Pushing Daisies wouldn't be back? The thought never entered my mind. Same for DSM and Samantha Who.

OSUBuckley: I don't watch October Road (which would also be a stupid pick-up), but thanks. DSM was loosing viewers week after week as the audience rejected it. It doesn't have anywhere near the ratings to merit a pick-up on ABC.

I'm happy for Pushing Daisies, but I'm more concerned about Reaper right now.

Thank God for Private Practice and Dirty Sexy Money! I hope Boston Legal is picked up also.

Well, the fact is, DSM was renewed, so any other point is moot!!

Great news about DSM and Pushing Daisies. I guess I'm going to have to watch Samantha Who, everyone is raving about it. Private Practice can go away as far as I'm concerned. This fall before the strike, I actually turned my television OFF between Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money, so bad is PP.
