US TV season 2006-07: week 9

Two months into the new US TV season, the dust is beginning to settle and it's becoming clearer which of the new shows will survive the early cull.

Last week Studio-60-on-The-Sunset-Strip got a full series order from NBC, after days of frenetic it's-axed-oh-no-it's-not rumour and gossip.

More series pick ups this week: CBS sitcom The Class (Channel 4), Fox's Standoff (Sky One), NBC's Friday Night Lights (ITV).

Axed: Fox's Vanished (Channel Five).

We also now know the fate of several other new US shows, so here's a round-up of the winners and losers, and what UK broadcasters have bought:

Channel 4 Full series ordered: Studio 60 (NBC), Ugly Betty (ABC), Brothers & Sisters (ABC), The Class (CBS) Axed: Runaway (CW), Kidnapped (NBC)

ITV Full series ordered: Jericho (CBS), Friday Night Lights (NBC) In the balance: Six Degrees (ABC) Axed: Smith (CBS)

Channel Five Full series ordered: Shark (CBS) Struggling: The Nine (ABC) Axed: Vanished (Fox)

Sky One Full series ordered: Standoff (Fox)

Living TV Full series ordered: Men in Trees (ABC) Pulled off air: Justice (Fox), Happy Hour (Fox)

Sci Fi Channel Full series ordered: Heroes (NBC)
