ABC picks up the important shows

Not to mention a few unimportant ones. In a release today, ABC announced 11 more pick-ups for the 2007-08 season: Brothers & Sisters, Men in Trees, Ugly Betty, The Bachelor, Boston Legal, Dancing with the Stars, Desperate Housewives, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Grey's Anatomy, Jimmy Kimmel Live and Lost. They join the already re-upped America's Funniest Home Videos, Supernanny and Wife Swap.

Missing are most all ABC comedies (According to Jim, George Lopez, In Case of Emergency); shelved shows that didn't have much of a chance (Knights of Prosperity and The Nine); newbie October Road, which hasn't proven itself yet; and weak performers What About Brian and Six Degrees (which is getting a second chance starting this week).
