ABC is loving The Neighbors almost as much as I do because they have asked the show for 3 more scripts per a network rep. The family sitcom is fitting in perfectly after The Middle and before Modern Family on Wednesdays, so I have a feeling that the script order will turn in to them ordering the back 9 episodes. At least I hope they do because this is my favorite new show of the fall season. It is so quirky that it actually works and more importantly it is laugh out loud funny. This is the first show that ABC has shown some interest in while the others (Last Resort, 666 Park Avenue) that have debuted are waiting for word what is next for them.
And over at Fox they ordered nine more episodes of the overrated The Mindy Project and 6 more for Ben & Kate that has the potential of being a good comedy once it finds it way. These two shows join NBC’s Revolution, Go On and The New Normal that were picked up for a full season last week.
So if you are keeping a score card that is 5 pick ups, 1 script order and 0 cancellations. Hopefully a show will get the axe very soon.
