First pick ups !!

From Ausiello : "This just in: An ABC rep confirms that the network has extended full-season orders to freshman comedies Modern Family, Cougar Town, and The Middle.

Despite experiencing some slippage last night, all three shows have performed solidly in the ratings. Creatively speaking, they’re firing on all cylinders — particularly Modern Family, which continues to live up to all my the hype.

No word yet on back-nine pickups for fellow newbies FlashForward, Hank, Eastwick, and The Forgotten."

It's not surprising that Modern Family is one of the most talked about new shows : ABC has an armada of community managers and marketing specialists to create a huge buzz on the net. But it deserves it !! Of course ABC new wednesday comedy block is not the same as NBC thursday must see tv way back in the days when they had Friends, Will and Grace and ER all in the same night ! But it's still good.

One thing I noticed this week is that, as much as I love Courtney Cox, she could tone it down a notch !! She's a little too hyper on Cougar Town !! I get that it's a comedy but she doesn't need to sound and look like she's on acid !!!
