ABC orders more 'Cougar,' 'Modern'

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- ABC says it has ordered full seasons of its new U.S. comedy series "Cougar Town," "Modern Family" and "The Middle."

The network confirmed the decision to TVGuide.com, but did not say what the future holds for its freshman sit-com, "Hank," starring Kelsey Grammer.

"Cougar Town" stars Courteney Cox as a sexy woman on the prowl for younger men, while Ed O'Neill heads the ensemble cast of "Modern Family" and Patricia Heaton plays the matriarch of a blue-collar, Indiana family in "The Middle."
