ABC re-ups 11 prime-time shows

LOS ANGELES, March 22 (UPI) -- Fans of Anne Heche, William Shatner and Matthew Fox can rest easy; ABC renewed "Men in Trees," "Boston Legal" and "Lost" for another season on U.S. airwaves.

The pickup of 11 series was announced as ABC presented its development slate to media buyers in Los Angeles, Variety said.

Also slated to return are "Ugly Betty" and "Brothers & Sisters," "Desperate Housewives," and "Grey's Anatomy." Reality entries "Dancing with the Stars," "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" and "The Bachelor" also got the OK, as did late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

The network previously renewed "America's Funniest Home Videos," "Supernanny" and "Wife Swap."

"We have had a strong year, with two of the season's breakout hits, 'Ugly Betty' and 'Brothers & Sisters,' and the solid performance of 'Men in Trees,'" ABC Entertainment president Steve McPherson said. "These shows provide us with a substantial foundation to make '07-08 our best schedule yet."
