CBS orders more 'Hawaii,' 'Blue Bloods'

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- CBS says it has ordered full seasons of all five of its new shows -- "Hawaii Five-0," "Blue Bloods," "The Defenders," "Mike & Molly" and "$#*! My Dad Says."

The network said it has been pleased with the ratings the various shows have earned this fall.

"Everything has clicked so far this year -- from development in January, to scheduling in May, to production over the summer, to marketing and publicity in the fall," Nina Tassler, president of CBS Entertainment, said in a statement Thursday.

"It's all testimony to the executives in our halls who remain restless for more success, and the amazing creative talent on our sets who continue to deliver the goods."
