ABC is expressing confidence in its Tuesday comedy lineup.
The network has picked up three additional scripts for freshman comedies The Goldbergs and Trophy Wife, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The comedies air as part of ABC's all-new Tuesday lineup, which starts with Marvel's Agents of SHIELD.
The Goldbergs, a 1980s-set semi-autobiographical comedy from Adam F. Goldberg,had the benefit of a monster bow from Agents of SHIELD and topped its Sept. 24 competition at 9 p.m. with a 3.2 rating among adults 18-49, ranking as ABC's best comedy launch in more than a year.
Family comedy Trophy Wife, meanwhile, drew a 2.3 rating among adults 18-49 in its Tuesday at 9:30 p.m.
Both series have slipped in subsequent weeks as SHIELD has softened in recent weeks.
The ABC comedies join Fox's Dads and Brooklyn Nine-Nine as well as The CW's Reign, Tomorrow People and The Originals as having received additional scripts this season. SHIELD, meanwhile, ranks as the only show ABC has given a full-season order to. Fellow freshman drama Lucky 7, meanwhile, was the season's first cancellation, getting the ax after two episodes on Tuesdays at 10 p.m.
