Easy as ABC

ABC picked up full seasons of its comedies Cougar Town, Modern Family, and The Middle late yesterday, just on the heels of CBS's pickup of NCIS: Los Angeles and The Good Wife. Can you handle ABC's love of the middle class? The possibilities for cross-promotion are endless. Patricia Heaton can guest-star on Modern Family and get into a talk-to-the-hand-ish fight with Sofia Vergara, all while Courteney Cox gives a hilarious mockumentary confessional about how everyone needs a drink. It all works out fine! Hehe! Man we miss you, Pushing Daisies. [Variety]
