Christina ApplegateThe ratings for the new season’s TV shows are starting to solidify, and the results are clarifying successes and failures. Fox has renewed the Kelsey-Grammer-Patricia Heaton sitcom has been picked up for the fulll season, as the network has asked for an additional eleven episodes for a total of twenty-four.

The most highly rated new sitcom, however, is ABC’s Samantha Who?, starring Christina Applegate as an amnesia victim who discovers that she was a terrible person in her previous life and decides to try to reform. ABC has asked for six additional episodes and is reportedly leaning toward committing to a full season.

The same network’s Cavemen, by contrast, has continued its ratings free-fall, and ABC has not asked for additional episodes. ABC has picked up the well-reviewed Pushing Daisies for the full season, which finished second in its time slot last night despite suffering a 15 percent audience dropoff compared with the previous week.
