Earlier today Shawn Ryan, Creator and Exec. Producer of Lie To Me announced via Twitter that Lie To Me has been picked up for the rest of the season.
The show – now in its second season – has fared well this season, averaging a 2.9 A18-49 rating and just over 8 million viewers. It’s always nice to have demo God House as a lead in (just ask Fringe…!).
This brings the total order to 22, although the midseason schedule that FOX released today had no mention of it, although they did say that 24 will be taking its place come January.

So there’s a plane bearing towards Wisteria Lane and now we know who the pilot who crashes it is.
The Simpsons star Dan Castellaneta, (the voice of Homer Simpson), will be taking on the role of the pilot that crashes a small plane in Fairview during the midseason finale of Desperate Housewives on December 6.
Castellaneta has recently guest starred on Greek as Rusty and Dale’s professor in the ABC Family show.
Given the recent going ons at Cyprus-Rhodes, who wouldn’t want to know when the second half of Greek’s third season is going to air?
The show will begin airing original episodes from January 25, 2010! In an unprecedented move, it will also air at 10pm. In a network first, ABC family will have 3 hours of original programming on a Monday night, with The Secret Life of an American Teenager at 8, Make it or Break It at 9 and Greek at 10!
But first of all don’t forget, we still have the midseason finale to look forward to this Monday! And given the dramz that went down last Monday, it’s defo a don’t miss!
It’s official! A rep for Lauren Graham’s has announced that she has signed on to NBC’s ‘Parenthood’.
According to EW’s Michael Ausiello, the ‘Gilmore Girls’ alum has signed on to play the role of mom Sarah, the part of formerly cast Maura Tierney (ER).
In case you don’t know the back story, the part of Sarah was played by Tierney but she had to pull out following the discovery of cancer in early August. Helen Hunt was also in the running for the role at one point or another.
Parenthood is tapped to begin airing Midseason on NBC.
