ABC extends rookie shows despite modest ratings

Two new ABC shows just landed full season orders ... and one title was left in the cold.
The network has picked up nine additional episodes each of superhero drama "No Ordinary Family," and its latest Wednesday comedy block entry "Better With You."rubicon dvd box set
It also ordered five episodes of struggling Tuesday crime drama "Detroit 1-8-7," as well as four episodes of "Brothers & Sisters" (that latter giving the Sunday veteran a full 22-episode season).
Left without a chair when the music stopped: Wednesday's underperforming Maura Tierney legal drama "The Whole Truth," which risks joining "My Generation dvd" on ABC's canceled list.
ABC's fall lineup hasn't produced a breakout title, with "No Ordinary Family" recently coming in forth place in its time period and "Better With You" ranking as the lowest-rated performer in the network's comedy block. Emmy-winning sophomore "Modern Family dvd" has continued to impress this season, however, and "Grey's Anatomy dvd box set" has been a dominating anchor on Thursdays. rubicon dvd
