CBS has given a back-nine order to "The New Adventures of Old Christine" and is switching two other Monday comedies, "The Class" and "How I Met Your Mother." As a midseason entry last season, "Christine" had received an initial order of 13 episodes for its sophomore season. Following orders for additional scripts over the past several weeks, the network proceeded with a full-season pickup of the series for a total of 22 episodes. In its most recent airing Monday, the Warner Bros. TV-produced "Christine" averaged 13.6 million viewers and a 4.4 rating/10 share among adults 18-49, holding on to 86% of its 18-49 lead-in from "Two and a Half Men."

Interstingly How I Met Your Mother was originally skedded for 8 and Class at 8:30 this season, but then CBS kept Mother in its timeslot from last season until Class started losing viewers every week. Oh well I guess this will last until King of Queens is ready to come back.
