Full Seasons for ABC Wednesday-Night Sitcom Newbies

ABC proved today it’s a very, very, very smart network when it announced via Twitter that rookie half-hour comedies Cougar Town, Modern Family, and The Middle have all been awarded a full season of 22 episodes. Nice! The three series definitely deserve the vote of confidence.

And note that Yours Truly (meaning me) called it recently when I noted the apparent lack of enthusiasm for the one remaining sitcom in that two-hour block: Kelsey Grammer‘s surprisingly unfunny Hank. Nary a mention of that comedy was made during today’s excellent news, but let’s see what the future brings.
