Networks make season pickups

ABC has announced full-season pickups for all four of its new comedies -- “Hope & Faith,” “It’s All Relative,” “I’m With Her” and “Married to the Kellys” -- and two of its dramas, “Threat Matrix” and “10-8.”

Meanwhile, NBC has ordered full-season pickups for two of its comedies, “Whoopi” and “Happy Family,” both of which began the season with shaky ratings. But the network has pulled its new Rob Lowe drama, “The Lyon’s Den,” from the Sunday schedule during the November ratings sweeps. It will be replaced by episodes of “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.”
