Tuesday, at ABC’s winter Television Critics Association panel, the network’s head honcho, Stephen McPherson, gave reporters some good news: they have officially picked up Modern Family, Cougar Town and The Middle for second seasons.
He also acknowledged that they were disappointed with Ugly Betty’s performance on Friday nights and they’re hoping it will do better in its new Wed. 10 p.m. time slot. He told reporters, “We still love that show.” Hopefully, that means that it won’t get canceled anytime soon.

In last night’s season finale of Scrubs, J.D. (Zach Braff) ponders endings. “Endings are never easy,” he says. “I always build them up so much in my head, they can’t possibly live up to my expectations, and I just end up disappointed.”
My Finale takes us through J.D.’s last day at Sacred Heart before moving to be closer to his baby son. J.D. (and the audience) gets closure with all of the people in his life, his girlfriend Elliot, Dr. Cox Turk …
