ABC has renewed Christina’s hit show, Samantha Who? for a second season! Check out the following article from the Associated Press:
With Hollywood about to rev up again following a three-month writers strike, ABC announced Monday that it had ordered a season’s worth of episodes for nine series next fall, including four freshman series.
The prime-time soap “Dirty Sexy Money,” fantasy forensics series “Pushing Daisies,” the “Grey’s Anatomy” spinoff “Private Practice” and Christina Applegate comedy “Samantha Who?” will all be back for a second season.
The other pick-ups aren’t a surprise: “Desperate Housewives,” “Lost,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Brothers & Sisters” and “Ugly Betty.”
The rest of ABC’s fall schedule will be unveiled in the next few months.
Television writers could be back at work as early as Wednesday if members of their union vote to end their walkout because of a tentative contract deal. It’s still unclear how much of this current season can be salvaged for favorite shows.
ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co.
To end on a happier note, the writer’s strike (that was started by members of the WGA) is officially over! The strike lasted over 3 months and cost Hollywood over $2 billion in losses. I hope the writer’s got everything they were asking for and are happy with the outcome.
Christina is the cover girl for the February 2008 issue of “Redbook” magazine! The magazine isn’t in stores yet, but you can check out the magazine’s website, RedbookMag.com for information on when and where you can get the issue.
