ABC Gives Sci-Fi Series Full-Season Order Multichannel News

On the heels of giving three sitcoms -- "The Middle," "Cougar Town" and "Modern Family" -- full-season commitments last week, ABC announced today that sci-fi series "FlashForward" has gotten the same order, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

"FlashForward" is performing better in the ratings than "Ugly Betty" had in the same slot last season.
