ABC 2009-2010 Renewals: Better Off Ted, Castle, Scrubs

Yeah, you read that title right, and I lead off with the best news (in my humble opinion).
ABC has reportedly renewed the workplace sitcom Better Off Ted for a second season, despite low average ratings that hovered in the neighborhood of 4 million viewers. Season Two will likely consist of about 13 episodes, including the handful still on the shelf from the recently ended freshman season.
Ted’s slightly less low-rated Wednesday-night companion Scrubs will return, as well, for a ninth season, with Zach Braff having already signed on the dotted line to come back for six episodes. However, the situation for the rest of the original cast is currently in the air since they’re busy, busy people, with pilots, upcoming series, and recurring roles on other hit shows.
Finally, while I don’t talk about Nathan Fillion’s fun crime-dramedy procedural Castle all that much, I never miss an episode. So, it’s great to learn ABC has taken the plunge and renewed it for a sophomore season. I may not be able to get my Life fix anymore, but I think I’ll survive okay with a hearty serving of Castle next season.
