For those who are wondering about the fates of your favorite ABC freshman and sophomore shows, your wish for knowledge has been granted!

According to Deadline, ABC has bought the full seasons of breakout hit “Once Upon A Time” and Tim Allen’s show “Last Man Standing” as well as the hilarious “Happy Endings.” Previously, the network had only ordered six extra scripts for “Happy Endings” while ordering full seasons for new guilty pleasure “Revenge” and comedy ‘Suburgatory.”

The impressive success for “Once Upon A Time” comes after only the showing of two episodes, according to Deadline’s article. After seeing the show myself, I do have to say that it is not only inventive, but incredibly addicting and well-written, so the breakout success was due to happen.

The last freshman show to get an order for more shows is “Pan Am,” however, they have only received an order for five more scripts. It’s looking like it’s these five scripts that will either make or break the future success of the show–basically, it seems like these five scripts will allow ABC to finally decide whether it will keep it or not. Hopefully, the “Pan Am” writers and new showrunner Steve Maeda will put this show on the right track and away from the brink of death. I don’t want “Pan Am” to die!
