Invasion Gets Full Order
ABC has ordered up a full season of its SF series Invasion, giving the green light to another nine episodes, Variety reported. ABC now has given 22-episode orders to two of its three freshman dramas; there's no word yet on Thursday's Night Stalker, the trade paper reported.
Invasion, starring William Fichtner and created by Shaun Cassidy, has been turning in solid if not spectacular numbers in its 10 p.m. Wednesday timeslot opposite CSI: NY and Law & Order.
On the downside, Invasion is losing about half of its huge lead-in from the megahit Lost. Such dropoffs for shows slotted behind monster hits aren't uncommon, however.
Meanwhile, NBC has decided to trim its commitment to its midseason supernatural drama Book of Daniel, ordering eight episodes (including the pilot) vs. the previously announced 13. NBC is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.
