ABC orders full seasons of three comedies


October 08, 2009 ABC on Thursday handed full-season pickups to three of its four new fall comedies, the single-camera half-hours "Modern Family," "Cougar Town" and "The Middle." "Modern Family," one of the best received new series, and the Courteney Cox starrer "Cougar Town" have been early ratings standouts. "Hank," starring veteran Kelsey Grammer, is the only multi-camera comedy among the foursome and has fared much worse than the others in critical response and in the ratings.
