Upfronts: "Old Christine" picked up, still awaiting the fate of "Moonlight"
She made it! Word is that CBS has given a full-season pickup to Julia Louis-Dreyfus starrer "The New Adventures of Old Christine." Pickup of the Warner Bros. TV comedy for a fourth season lends more credence to the notion that the Eye intends to open up a new comedy block next season. The betting is on Tuesday or Wednesday nights from 8-9 p.m.
Meanwhile, another Warner Bros. TV show on the bubble at CBS, vampire drama "Moonlight," is still awaiting the final word on its primetime mortality.
Cynthia Littleton is deputy editor, news development at Variety and a veteran television reporter.

I'm in my 30s, and I love Moonlight! My sister and her family love it too, but none of us counts in the Nielsen ratings. I hope that CBS makes the right decision, and renews Moonlight for a second season. And if they could get a writer like Craig Silverstein on board, they could get a lot more of an even tone on the show, to help make up for all the behind-the-scenes turmoil.
